“#NY man busted for alleged role in Capitol riot after outing self<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A New York man has been arrested for his alleged role in the deadly US Capitol invasion \u2014 after posting an image of the mob to Instagram with the words \u201cThis is me\u201d and a pointing emoji superimposed on it, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

Edward Jacob Lang was busted Saturday at his home in Newburgh, according to the FBI and the Mid-Hudson News Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He faces charges of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees, civil disorder,\u00a0accessing a restricted building or grounds, and\u00a0violent entry or disorderly conduct, according to federal authorities.<\/p>\n

Lang was allegedly among the throngs of supporters of President Trump who laid siege to the Capitol on Jan. 6 in an attempt to delay Congress\u2019 certification of Joe Biden\u2019s election win, an invasion that ended with five people dead including a US Capitol Police officer.<\/p>\n

Rather than attempting to cover his tracks, Lang documented his alleged participation and the aftermath on both his Instagram and Facebook<\/a> pages, according to an affidavit filed Friday by the FBI in support of an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n

One image posted to Lang\u2019s Instagram story shows a crush of rioters at a Capitol entranceway, superimposed with the all-caps words \u201cTHIS IS ME,\u201d and an emoji of a hand with a pointing index finger, according to the filing.<\/p>\n

Another post to Lang\u2019s Facebook page \u2014 which, like his Instagram account, was inactive as of Sunday \u2014 features a lengthy message in which he claimed that he witnessed a woman\u2019s death and was himself shot during the riot, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched a woman die yesterday in front of my eyes. I saved 2 others from being trampled and suffocated by the Capitol Police,\u201d he allegedly wrote. \u201cI was shot with a lethal round in the foot its [sic] shattered multiple places, stitches in my skull, deep cuts over my entire body \u2014 for freedom and liberty and to defend the American Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lang\u2019s own social media posts weren\u2019t the only ones that put him at the riot, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

Video footage of \u201can individual consistent in app<\/a>earance with Lang\u201d shows the man attacking cops outside the Capitol with a baseball bat, officials allege.<\/p>\n

And a video posted to an unspecified Twitter account captures a man identified by authorities as Lang discussing the next steps with an unidentified woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what do you think happens next?\u201d the woman asks, according to court filings.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuns. That\u2019s it,\u201d replies the man identified as Lang. \u201cThe First Amendment didn\u2019t work, we pull out the Second.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear if Lang had retained legal counsel while awaiting an initial court appearance.<\/p>\n

Multiple New Yorkers have been among the dozens arrested in connection with the riot, also including an MTA employee who called out sick from work to travel<\/a> to Washington, DC and a reported former US Marine who lit up a \u201cvictory\u201d cigar inside the Capitol.<\/p>\n

Many of those arrested have been done in by a mountain of incriminating images obtained by the FBI.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
