Two Western Pennsylvania men have been charged in connection with the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, and one of them is accused of shattering a window with a baseball bat.
Matthew Perna of Sharon, Pa., and the accused bat-wielder, Jorden Mink of South Fayette, appeared briefly on Tuesday for initial appearance hearings by video in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh.

Both are charged federally in the District of Columbia and will be prosecuted there along with dozens of other accused rioters.

Mr. Mink is charged with unlawful entry on restricted building or grounds while carrying a weapon (the baseball bat); unlawful injury to property on Capitol grounds; violent entry, disorderly conduct and physical violence on Capitol grounds; destruction of government property; theft of government property; and aiding and abetting.

Mr. Perna is charged with entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. U.S. Attorney Scott Brady said his office is working with the FBI and his counterpart in the District of Columbia to identify Western Pennsylvania residents who were involved in the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Along with the idiot who stole Nancy Pelosi's laptop, these two guys continue Pennsylvania's Repuke Walk of Shame. Luckily many solid tips have been given to the FBI to catch these perps.
