A former Marine who carried a tiki torch ahead of a 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., pleaded guilty Friday in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Tyler Bradley Dykes, of Bluffton, S.C., pleaded guilty to two felony counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers who were protecting the Capitol. The crime carries a maximum penalty of eight years in prison, a $250,000 fine and up to three years supervised release, according to the plea agreement.
Attorneys for Dykes did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday evening.
Dykes, 26, was arrested in July, on a series of federal charges, including misdemeanors. Prosecutors agreed to request the dismissal of the other counts in the indictment during sentencing as part of his plea agreement, according to court documents. His sentencing is scheduled for July 19.

a slogan from Hitler and the Nazis, Blut and boden which means blood and soil and it was the reason they attacked
to the east and Russia. (Lebensraum room for German growth) However much time Mr. Dykes gets isnt enough
and I hope he has lots of African Americans to keep him company inside prison.
