Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, was charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack after he was identified by online sleuths.
An elected member of a Virginia school board — who allegedly bragged about drinking Fireball and Coors Light in the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack and said he was in touch with a member of the far-right Oath Keepers that day — was arrested by federal authorities Tuesday.
Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, faces four misdemeanor charges: entering and remaining in a restricted building, disruptive conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and unlawful picketing in a Capitol building. Court records show that Adkins was scheduled to make his first appearance in a federal courtroom in Charlottesville on Tuesday.
“I drank fireball and coors lite in the capitol,” Adkins wrote in a message after the attack, according to an FBI affidavit. As he left the Capitol, he was also captured on video yelling, “Let’s go get a beer, let’s go get a beer!” the FBI said.
It was like 2:15 on a Wednesday afternoon ya treasonous drunkard…
It definitely was a special occasion ya square
One of the guys who stormed the Capitol drinks Fireball and Coors Light?
Misdemeanor? Uhhhh…try Felony! You can get charged with a felony for having drugs on you, but entering a capitol building BY FORCE isn’t a felony?!

For many of these folks, it was the absolute pinnacle of their lives… smh “Let’s go streaking through the quad!” for old people…
These are people who peaked in high school and never had anything to look forward to in life.
Who brags about drinking fireball, at least get some decent whiskey.
What’s your recommendation for an alternative cinnamon whiskey?
I dunno about their’s, but here’s the top 10 of 2023 according to Hood River Distilleries

Look, fuck this guy for probably being a fascist or whatever. But I’m not going to pretend hitting some fireball and slamming a cold one inside of the capital isn’t rad as hell.
Idk man, I’d definitely choose something other than fireball and coors.
I’ll give you the Coors because that shit sucks, and I don’t even like fireball but if there’s ever a time for it, its while illegally occupying a federal building.
If you’re gonna LARP being a revolutionary (even a fascist one), at least do it right. Get yourself some nice wine, brandy, or whiskey.
Please. Revolutionaries drink s’more schnapps

Y’all want to drink 40 proof Canadian whiskey mixed with sugar and cinnamon when storming the US capitol?
At least do the nation the honor of drinking something 80 proof from Kentucky for fucks sake.
Just a bit of national pride is all we ask for.
I mean, the only country to successfully capture the Capitol was Canada.
See, if he was drinking the northern blend because he knew his history, I would tip my macaroni to him.
Somehow i doubt it.
The time for fireball is with ciders at a camp fire. Storming the capital calls for whisky.

It isn’t. It’s redneck shit.
Monster trucks are also redneck shit, that doesn’t make them not rad as hell.
Sorry, a truck with giant tires is not “rad as hell.”
It absolutely is, it must suck to have an innate aversion to fun.
Amazingly enough, there are many ways of having fun that do not involve looking at trucks or drinking shitty beer.
I feel life draining from me just reading your comments
Homie is the wettest towel on Lemmy.
Like shitting on things poor people like on web forums?
Sorry… shitty beer and monster trucks are “things poor people like?”
That sounds like a crazy and weird stereotype.
Hell yeah!
The violent storming tends to put a wet blanket on things
It wasn’t cold, it was in his tactical khaki cargo pockets the whole way there.
And as we all know, A ONE THAT IS NOT COLD IS SCARCELY A ONE AT ALL.
Finally a legitimate counter to my comment. I can excuse storming the Capitol, I cannot excuse a warm pocket beer.
Same, this is hilarious to me
People are taking this way too seriously. It was also rad when Jimmy Carter’s son smoked weed with Willie Nelson at the whitehouse.
I feel like taking things way too seriously is just a common theme on this site.
Well met, fellow gen-x’er!
