At least one of those people was from the Central Valley.
Video shared by Eddie Block himself shows the chaos from inside the crowd.
Just last year, Block ran for Madera County Supervisor in District 4 but lost.
Months before voters went to the polls, Action News reported Block was arrested for a DUI.
CHP officers say he was driving down Avenue 12 near Loren Way last January, when he lost control of his Dodge Ram, crashing into a parked car and home, before leaving the scene.
Unfortunately, we can now add Jan. 6, 2021 to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy, said Sen. Chuck Schumer. See how things escalated in our minute-by-minute video as chaos erupted.
Some in the crowd clearly prepared for battle, one in a helmet and protective vest holding a baseball bat. Block identified the Proud Boys national leadership, who were directing the group. Joe Biggs is the group s lead coordinator.
Their numbers swell as they approach the building. The Capitol complex stairs were a challenge for Block s scooter, but the Proud Boys lifted it down. Ahead of Block, pandemonium breaks out.
