Baranyi shows the blood from Ashli Babbitt, who fell mortally wounded next to him.Thomas Baranyi lacks remose about his conduct at the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, made disturbing comments afterwards and has no respect for the law as he was among the vanguard of violence that day, according to federal prosecutors.
“The broken glass, the gun shot, and the sound of a body hitting the floor still reverberate in Mr. Baranyi’s mind more than a year later,” his attorney, Ubong Akpan wrote in her filing. “The day is difficult for him to discuss, but he is remorseful. He was not part of a militia group seeking to overthrow the government. He did not encourage violence. He lent his voice for an unfortunate cause which resulted in unfortunate consequences. He has been traumatized ever since.
Baranyi has planned to return to Washington to protest the presidential transfer of power, but he was arrested by the FBI before that event, Michell stated. Akpan wrote that Baranyi has been trying to resume normal life, but the events of Jan. 6 continue to haunt him. He recently received a threatening letter that included a line wishing he had been shot during the riot.
Baranyi is college educated, served in the Peace Corps from 2018 to 2020, teaching English in Albania, and was briefly in the Marine Corps before being medically discharge in September 2020. He was recently laid off from a job working at a local gym.
