On Jan. 6, 2021, Joseph Fischer allegedly entered the U.S. Capitol, along with more than 2,000 others, in the effort to stop the counting of the electoral votes that was already underway.

Fischer wasnt there in his official capacity as a police officer with the North Cornwall Township Police Department in Pennsylvania. He was there to, per text messages he sent that were later cited in a filing by Department of Justice lawyers , take democratic congress to the gallows.

Cant vote if they cant breathe..lol, Fischer allegedly wrote in another text message about his plans before Jan. 6.

Fischer, per federal charging documents , pushed his way into the building with yells of Charge! Once inside, he crashed into a line of police officers, according to a cellphone video he recorded. Fischer and at least one police officer were knocked to the ground. Police removed him four minutes later.

Later identified by one of his co-workers, Fischer was arrested by federal officers on Feb. 19, 2021. He was charged with multiple felonies but has yet to go to trial. Thats because hes appealed one of his charges all the way to the Supreme Court, which will hear arguments on Tuesday.
