Attempts were made to ascertain
occupational status and history; education;
and
family/household/network embeddedness.
This page assembles online media accounts of those arrested
for their participation in the
events of January 6, 2021. Attempts were made to ascertain
occupational status and history; education; and
family/household/network embeddedness. Limitations in the
reporting of local media made this extremely difficult; and these
limitations (evidence of the disintegration of the biocultural niche of
modernity) themselves became a discovery incidental to the once
straightforward process of searching online for biographical
information. Here's are four examples of what I mean:
EXCLUSIVE: Bradford couple face charges connected to Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Bradford couple went to Capitol riots to "witness history", records show.
Dayton-area couple charged in U.S. Capitol riot pleads guilty.
Documents: Family member reported Ohio couple in Capitol breach.
These stories in local media outlets contain no information at all about the lifeworlds (occupational status and history; education; and
family/household/network embeddedness) of the local arrestees.
At the right is a Guardian
June 27, 2021 story about a Trump rally held in Wellington, Ohio.
Notice the crisp reporting and the provision of basic occupational
information about the six rally attendees the reporter interviewed.
This kind of reporting is almost entirely absent from local American news sources.
While there were some exceptions (otherwise this would be a blank
page), overall, instead of information about the arrestees we found
evidence of the disintegration of the biocultural niche of
modernity.

Materials Herein Assembled I: Arrestees,
1. Mob at Capitol
this is a raw and incomplete PDF that was the basis for
discussions between PF and RB that led to a series of
reconceptualizations, methodological as well as substantive. The
failure of much of local journalism to provide basic facts re.
employment (occupation and industry) led me to cut short my efforts
to do all 212 individuals that I was working with. As it turned
out, this was sufficient material to think about, analyze, and draw
conclusions from.
2. Regional breakdowns.
This was the second step in arriving at the tables of arrestees from
selected states that became the basis for the comments on this page:

As we review states and other datasets in the right-hand column, it will
become increasingly evident that the analysis out of the University of
Chicago (and mainstream media coverage in general) fails to comprehend the major features of the dataset Arrests Arising out of the Assault on Congress. On the other hand, the five text referenced above right are consistent with our findings.

Elite Academic and Journalistic Institutions Get It Wrong
Below is a statement by the principal invevestigator of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats, Dr. Robert A. Pape, that appeared in the New York Times of April 6, 2021:
“You see a common pattern in the Capitol insurrectionists.
They are mainly middle-class to upper-middle-class whites who are
worried that, as social changes occur around them, they will see a
decline in their status in the future.”
At the right are two New York Times and one Atlantic
article containing this statement and similar sociological statements
that appeared in the respectable press. The heading I have
subsumed these articles under is
Attempts were NOT made to ascertain occupational status and history; education;
and family/household/network embeddedness of the arrestees
My segway into our findings involves looking more closely at the only details provided by the Chicago Project on Security and Threats to
illustrate the general statement that these arrestees were "mainly
middle-class to upper-middle-class whites." These details appear
on page 11 of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats report.
Although
the authors of this report did not include the names of the individuals
refered to on page 11 of the U of C report, I found almost all of them
in my partial
dataset. I also included two arrrestees not mentioned in
the U/C report, but who actually could be described as middle-class to
upper-middle-class. Information not suplied in the U/C report is highlighted.

1. "From Navy

Capitol," the New York Times (January 26, 2021):
One striking aspect of the angry crowd at the Capitol was how many of its members
seemed to come not from the fringes of American society but from white
picket-fence Main Street backgrounds — firefighters and real estate
agents, a marketing executive and a Town Council member.
2. The Capitol Rioters Aren’t Like Other Extremists,
by Dr. Robert A. Pape, principal investigator, and Dr. Kevin Ruby,
senior research director,* (the Atlantic, Febuary 2, 2021):
40 percent
are business owners or hold white-collar jobs. Unlike the
stereotypical extremist, many of the alleged participants in the
Capitol riot have a lot to lose. They work as CEOs, shop owners,
doctors, lawyers, IT specialists, and accountants. Strikingly, court
documents indicate that only 9 percent are unemployed.
3. "Fears of White People Losing Out Permeate Capitol Rioters’ Towns, Study Finds", NYT 4-6-21
“If
you look back in history, there has always been a series of far-right
extremist movements responding to new waves of immigration to the
United States or to movements for civil rights by minority groups,” Mr.
Pape said. “You see a common pattern in the Capitol insurrectionists.
They are mainly middle-class to upper-middle-class whites who are
worried that, as social changes occur around them, they will see a
decline in their status in the future.”

As we add states and other datasets in the right-hand column, it will
become increasingly evident that this analysis out of the University of
Chicago (and "mainstream" (corporate) media coverage in general) fails to comprehend the major features of the dataset Arrests Arising out of the Assault on Congress.** |
|
Summary of Findings
We sorted the arrestees by state and organization. Among the
states and organizations we looked at, the Oathkeeepers were the most
"middle class." They are a general manager at a car dealership, a
self-employed
carpenter, a window washer, a tatoo parlor owner, the owner of a
marginal day-car facility, and a former police officer. The
outlier in this table--and that by a long-shot--is Stewart Rhodes, Yale
Law School, clerk for an Arizona Supreme Court Justice, and a staffer
for
Ron Paul.
What we found was a population in
the process of marginalization. The instability in their lives was
manifested in the difficulty of category formation. The standard
occupational and industry classifications* are inadequate, indeed
misleading.
Gyms, bars, tatoo parlors, restaurants, salons, and gun shops
occur regularly in the entire
dataset. To view the individual owners of these establishments
solely in terms of their role as "shop owners" is misleading.
What we are really dealing with is social networks,1 not Cartesian
selves.
Very few of the arrestees were connected to mainstrean occupations and industries: none
in manufacturing, none in the building trades, none in the modern
corporate sector.
The bottom line: out of the collapse of the economic basis for socialization
into adulthood within the psycho-cultural framework provided by white
supremacy, there results a prolongation of adolescent sadism (Goldberg
and Weitz).
Thus, about one third of the arrestees were employed in the
performative domain of "legitimate" violence: military, police,
security guards.
Another third were low-wage service workers in very small establishments.
Above all, many of the
arrestees come across as grifters. Indeed, the GOP is a party dominated by grifters. Commentators on "late" or "postmodern" capitalism, themselves caught up in semiotic regime of the Two-Party System,
are blind to the obvious: a fatal collision between the culture of late
capitalism and the institutions of late capitalism (see a tsunami of corporate opposition to Trump's coup attempt, reported but not comprehended by major media). Thus, at the very
last moment in the GOP Jihad against modernity, the whole mass of
modern capitalist institutions made its displeasure with the threat to
the neoliberal state and rallied to the defense of that state
The
GOP's "base" is different. Michael Wolff provides us with a
nuanced view of the GOP mainstream (provincial middle classes) base.

New Jersey: Lifeworlds (Dasein) or Cartesian Selves?
This
already gives us a sense of the kind of problems the researcher has
when dealing with a population in the process of marginalization.
The instability in their lives is manifest in the difficulty of
category formation. The single word that could encompass this set
of individuals is marginal. Better, the data presented on this
page should be understood dynamically as artifacts generated by the process of marginalization that is one of the chief effects of globalization.
Thus, the
University of Chicago study that states that
40
percent are business owners or hold white-collar jobs. Unlike the
stereotypical extremist, many of the alleged participants in the
Capitol riot have a lot to lose. They work as CEOs, shop owners,
doctors, lawyers, IT specialists, and accountants. Strikingly, court
documents indicate that only 9 percent are unemployed.
fundamentally misunderstands this.
New
Jersey's data (n=9) illustrates this problem of
categorization.
At first thought the occupational classification
cosmetologist (SOC 39-5012 Hairdressers, Hairstylists, and
Cosmetologists) should not pose a problem to the conventional scheme of categorization. From the standpoint of
agency, however (and thus, from a hermeneutical standpoint),
Abual-Ragheb's occupation seems less relevant than her statements and
her participation in the New Jersey chapter of the American Patriots 3%
and in her right-wing chat rooms.
Thomas Baranyi went into basic training for
the U.S. Marine Corps but was discharged. Without any occupation
listed in the local media (or anywhere accessible) Baranyi is beneath
the radar, and also a failure at his attempt to enter the Performative Domain of "Legitimate" Violence. In this he can be taken as a
poster boy for the condition of marginality that is such a
prominent feature of our dataset.
Scott Fairlamb, gym owner (NAICS 713940 Fitness and Recreational Sports Centers) and martial
artist. Gyms and bars and salons occur regularly in the entire
dataset. But what one also finds is that--at least in the case of
gyms and bars--what we are really dealing with is social
networks. But Fairlamb is also a mixed martial artist. Does
this mean that he should be subsumed under the category performative domain of "legitimate" violence? Possibly, even likely. But we are still in the
early stages of our analysis.
Leonard Guthrie, street preacher--how should we conceptualize this case? In our
working dataset, the Mob at the Capitol, we developed the
temporary category of phantom. What we came up with after much discussion was the category of grifter. (Herman Melville: the Confidence Man)
Donald Trump is perhaps the world's greatest grifter.
Hale-Cusanelli is more straightforward: a white supremacist and a Nazi
sympathizer who stabbed a man, was a regular poster on anti-Semitic
social media groups, and has served in the U.S. Army since 2009. Thus, he is subsumed under the category performative domain of "legitimate" violence
Stefanie Hazelton is also more straighforward, or so it seems. A
prominent right-wing activist from South Jersey, an organizer against
New Jersey's shutdown orders, active in the anti-vaxxer movement, and
the founder of New Jersey for Medical Freedom, the state chapter of an
anti-vaccine network. This case is easily subsumable under the
category Politico.
Note that, while she is not a gym owner, she was one of the loudest
supporters of Atilis Gym. Given the point already made re.
Fairlamb, what we are really dealing with is social networks.
Indeed, Stefanie Hazelton should be thought of as part of the cadre of
right-wing politicos, and the social networks she is in contact with as
her base. There are many of these political cadre in the by now
predominantly fascist GOP. I don't know her occupational classification.
Then we have Patrick Stedman, a
self-described “dating [and] relationship strategist.”
Grifter? This is a good example of the grifter's chief characterstic: self-invention and fraud.
The two correctional officers, Suarez and Todisco, could be subsumed under SOC
classification 33-3012 (Correctional Officers and Jailers). From
the standpoint of agency, however, we realized the necessity of
creating a new category: Performative Domain of "Legitimate" Violence.
The video of Derek Chauvin killing George Floyd provides a glimpse of
the inner workings of this domain at its most extreme.

It is already clear that in the U.S. fundamentalist whites and blacks
(and many working class Catholics) have been disgorged from the project
of modernity, and now constitute, by twenty-first century standards, a
barely literate mass, concentrated in the central cities, inner
suburbs, small towns, and the rural heartland, and removed in toto from
the possiblities of cognitive development implied by the term
"education." One can see how useful the
concept of zone of proximal influence is, and how complex and fraught
with danger is the process of cognitive development. |

Janice Sunderland--On March 27, 2017 Rehema Ellis interviewed Janis Sunderhaus, CEO of Health Partners of Western Ohio.
from “Health Care CEO: ‘People Don’tHave a Real Clear Understanding’ the Services Made Possible by ObamaCare”
Ellis: And you have said to me many people don’t even understand where
this health care is coming from. You told me the story of one
woman who was helped who was a Trump supporter. What was her
reaction to the fact that she was able to get this health care?
Sunderland: Well, she was able to qualify for the Medicaid expansion,
and she said to me, “Thank goodness I didn’t have to get
Obamacare.” And I looked at her and I said, “ Guess what?
This is Obamacare.” And she was kind of taken aback; and said
“Uh! Well let’s just keep that between you and me.” So
people don’t have a real clear understanding of what types of services
have been made possible by the Affordable Care Act passing Medicaid
expansion. This site here has now medical, dental, pharmacy
services—that’s all because of Medicaid expansion.
Family Furnishings: told the patient that her Medicaid coverage
was part of Obamacare, the patient said, “we’ll just keep that between
ourselves”. The one read of the expression on J. S.’s face is,
‘You see what the cognitive situation is—. but here, read in with Munro
Family Furnishings, re habitus of everyday wherein is enacted patient
X’s place in a field of discouse and senibilities
Understanding this cognitive gulf is a prerequisite to understanding “trump”.

GOODWYN, Daniel
|
A
San Francisco freelance web developer who calls himself a Proud Boy and
has an extensive history of COVID denialism has been charged for his
alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Goodwyn has a large digital footprint. According to his personal
website, he attended City College of San Francisco and works as a
freelance web and app developer. He lists Jews for Jesus as one of his
clients and, strangely, posts links to everything from his Gab, Parler,
Venmo and Pandora accounts to his dating app profiles.
On his Twitter account Goodwyn claimed in September he was "arrested
and cited" for not wearing a mask on Muni. Afterward, he posted video
of himself on YouTube, maskless, reading a statement in front of the
Hall of Justice. In it, he repeats a number of lies about the
coronavirus pandemic, including denying it outright and falsely
claiming COVID vaccines will contain "a microchip.”
He used the citation to fundraise for himself on a Christian
crowd-funding site used by other far-right extremists like Stop the
Steal founder Ali Alexander. Goodwyn raised $1,689 of his $5,000 goal.

One person who has known Pezzola for over 20 years described him as a
hardworking father of two daughters whose politics grew increasingly
extreme over the last two years. VICE News attempted to
contact Pezzola via phone numbers connected to his business
“Out of everyone in our class, I would have picked him out as a
domestic terrorist,” one classmate, who asked to remain anonymous for
her safety, told VICE News. “He was always a bit machismo,” remarked
another, who had the same request for anonymity.
Pezzola, of Rochester, N.Y., also has been named in state tax warrants
totaling more than $40,000 over the past five years, according to
public records. His attorney declined to comment.
