(CNN)A rioter who stormed the US Capitol Wednesday wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with the phrase "Camp Auschwitz" has been identified as Robert Keith Packer of Virginia, according to three sources who spoke with CNN.

An image of Packer inside the Capitol, whose sweatshirt bore the name of the Nazi concentration camp where about 1.1 million people were killed during World War II, has evoked shock and disbelief on social media. The bottom of his shirt stated, "Work brings freedom," which is the rough translation of the phrase "Arbeit macht frei" that was on the concentration camp's gates.

Packer did not respond to CNN's requests for comment.

One Virginia resident, who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, described Packer as a long-time extremist who has had run-ins with the law.

4. They all do because they are too stupid and have few anger management skills

Ret. Lt. Col Brock might not, because he might be a little better at anger management due to military discipline.

[Ahpook]

2. Typical

Drunken, hateful, dead end POS. He is pissed at his life choices and takes it out on others.

Not surprised.

5. And these people want

To dismantle our democracy. WTF ? Let’s show him what law n order means.

7. I notice that that "one VA resident" didn't describe him as employed.

I guess he probably wouldn't be by now, anyway.

[Bayard]

8. So why haven't they arrested him yet?

[Lock him up.]

9. "a long time extremist" ???

How about "a long time Neo-Nazi teRrorist" for a more precise description?

Lock "it" up.

10. "Packer did not respond to CNN's requests for comment."

Well of course not.

What can he say after being thrown under the bus by Pissolini?



The stupid runs DEEP in these folks.
