Jan 6 rioter who wanted to ‘wipe out’ US Jews convicted of obstruction
Arutz Sheva ^ | 9/3/23

A US military veteran who allegedly told an undercover FBI agent he wanted to “wipe out” the American Jewish community was found guilty on Tuesday of obstruction for participating in the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The trial of Hatchet Speed, a former US Naval reservist who was assigned to a spy satellite agency, was adjudicated as a non-jury trial by US District Judge Trevor McFadden, who will sentence Speed on May 8, the Associated Press reported.

Speed was found guilty of all five charges in the case. The felony obstruction charge stemmed from his role in storming the Capitol to prevent the January 6 Congressional certification of the Electoral College vote making Joe Biden the president.

The FBI’s undercover agent captured conversations with Speed that occurred over a year after the Jan. 6 riot, in which the defendant told the agent that he had marched on the Capitol with the far-right Proud Boys group, according to the prosecution.

In the conversations, Speed, 41, also made anti-government remarks laced with antisemitism, which prosecutors told the judge explained why he joined the march on the Capitol.

Typical. One narrative starts leaking like a sieve, set up another one. This guy was apparently anti-Semitic, so now smear every Trump supporter, and say J6 is now about anti-Semitism. Sorry, AP. I'm not buying.

Exactly. What a BS narrative. By tomorrow, the press breathlessly proclaim all those J6 insurrectionists had already constructed hidden Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Bełżec, Chełmno, and Sobibór camps across the USA and were ready to march “undesirables” to their camps.

Well, I'm glad I decided to seek answers as to why you posted this POC posing as an article.

If I am not mistaken, isn't Arutz Sheva the mouthpiece for the destructive leftist factions in Israel?

” told an undercover FBI agent “.

In other words, another bare-face lie.

They always accuse you of what they’re going to do.

“Speed saw the Jews as `everywhere,’ fighting to destroy Christians, and he was not willing to sit by,” prosecutors wrote in a court document.”

Speed may not just be his last name.

Actually Arutz Sheva is a nationalist paper. Lately they have been picking up leads from western media

I don’t like anti semites - but unless this idiot ‘wiped out’ a Jew or two, it was a ‘thought crime’. I’ve heard liberals say worse about Trump supporters - should they be put in prison?

OK, maybe when we take over we can return the favor and put people in prison for things we can get them to say to some undercover FBI thug.

what crime is committed by saying that?

no crime. Wiping out is subjective.

thought crimes are a dangerous thing to start instituting.

Haven’t there been a raft of professors and others that have called for the getting rid of white people? Whatever happened to them? Nothing, of course.

I have no idea if any of the allegations are true.

I doubt it, personally. “Antisemitic” is largely a worthless term in modern parlance. It seldom means actually hating Jews like Farrakhan or Hitler or Rhashida Tilab and generally is used when someone opposes some horrid act of a person who happens to be Jewish.

“If I am not mistaken, isn’t Arutz Sheva the mouthpiece for the destructive leftist factions in Israel?”

No. It’s usually pretty right-wing, definitely not left-wing. You’re thinking of Haaretz and Maariv.

That’s not the crime he’s accused of. He was convicted of trying to obstruct the certification. They just add the anti-Semitism stuff as sauce.

I understand how liberal thugs and their butt boys in the press work together against powerless citizens. It’s a ‘Jim Crow’ technique...

Likely suspect of his ire: George Soros.

I figured he had a beer belly and a beard, but thought there would be more gray in it.

Sunglasses in January? Maybe to preserve his anonymity, but deep cover agent is a possiblity, if not a likelihood.
