Robert Keith Packer’s sister asked people not to judge him by his cover, a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt. A prosecutor said he was wearing a Nazi SS T-shirt underneath.
The revelation of what Packer, a 57-year-old Virginia pipefitter, was wearing on Jan. 6, 2021, came Thursday when a federal judge sentenced him to 75 days for his role in the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The sweatshirt, which became a symbol of the rioters’ ties to white supremacist movements, was “incredibly offensive,” U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols said before handing down the sentence.
“It seems to me that he wore that sweatshirt for a reason. We don’t know what the reason was because Mr. Packer hasn’t told us,” Nichols said.
When the FBI asked Packer...he said, “Because I was cold.”

What was it that made Nazis so bad? They squashed free speech, punished dissent, and were violent, and used the state as their instrument for doing that. And they also didn't like Jews, Gypsies, homos or commies.
Or Slavs except as slaves.
Gosh, imagine what the judge would have given him if he was wearing an ANTIFA hammer and sickle shirt, or maybe a Khmer Rouge headband.
Maybe a Good Citizen Award?
I would never put not liking faggots and commies in the same context as hating jews or gypsies or any ethnicity.
Faggots and commies should be actively disliked. Being known to be either should ruin a life.
Proverbial hot coco and a cookie, judging by the way they dealt with actual rioters in DC from 2017.
Well, the fact of the matter is that that was Hitler’s order of hate, right after he killed his homo pal Ernst Rohm and his male harem, who used to be responsible for SA internal security. Then he killed the entire SA off, including Rohm and his harem, and from then on, homosexuality was verboten.
“75 days for his role in the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.”
Deadly riot? Ashli Babbit was murdered by a coward not involved in the “riot”.
Punishment for 1A speech, but then that is the point isn’t it.
“Fair and speedy trial”, going on TWO YEARS!
Anyone still held is clearly a political prisoner.
And “Deadly”, as I recall only one death, a protestor shot by Gov. and no real investigation done.
He was an Antifa guy wanting to make the Trump people look racist, but he didn’t intend to get swept into jail.
The people behind squashing free speech, i.e. antifa, blm rioters, and burning businesses ARE CRIMINALS, not peaceful free speech protesters.
Or maybe his "Child Molester" shirt was at the dry cleaners.
Life is hard. It is even harder when you are stupid. This guy was either stupid, or he is a plant.
I guess ‘freedom of expression’ only applies to approved symbols/ideas.
“We don’t know what the reason was because Mr. Packer hasn’t told us.”
Why was he even asked the question? Isn’t this America?
There was also a 20-something girl stomped to death, according to the MSM by “fellow rioters”. According to eye witnesses who called in to Rush, by Capitol Police outside.
I don’t see any photos of the guy wearing the shirt they claim he had on. Once again, claims are made without the article showing any proof to back up their claims. If the reporters of Arutz Sheva believe everything the FBI/DOJ claims, then they’re as gullible as the people who climbed on board those cattle cars.
Maybe he was supporting Ukraine ?
You’re contradicting the MSM narrative. That’s hate speech. Now you’re in for it.
Being incredibly offensive is a Ninth Amendment reserved right.
Inciting violence against the FBI, and mentioning cattle cars, which is hate speech. Now you’re in for it.
