A Capitol rioter said participating in the insurrection gave him 'street cred' and a 'badge of honor

A man who participated in the storming of the US Capitol last year said he believes he's earned a "badge of honor" among conservatives for participating in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

Paul Davis told the New York Times that he initially felt ashamed of himself for having participated in the Capitol riot. He was fired from his job as a lawyer and his fiancée left him, the Times reported.

But then he had a change of heart and began to feel proud of his involvement, he told the Times.

"It definitely activated me more," Davis said. "It gave me street cred."

He would rather have a criminal record and “street cred” over a high paying job and a fiancée?

What a dope.
