“I\"\"<\/a>‘ve got one of them…Shoot him with his own gun!”\u00a0 Michael Fanone was one of dozens holding off thousands in a key Capitol access tunnel.\u00a0 For his trouble, he found himself frog-marched through the horde, speared with a Blue Lives Matter flag, tased repeatedly at the base of his skull, and beaten within an inch of his life.\u00a0 \u00a0He suffered a heart attack, traumatic brain injury, and lasting PTSD.\u00a0 Bear spray inhalation damaged his lungs for months, but the most injurious and lasting remnant of the day were proclamations from half the still-living Congresspeople calling January 6th rioters…peaceful tourists.<\/p>\n

Shocking to no one, the Trump and<\/span> Obama voter Fanone marches to his own drummer.\u00a0 The DC punk turned Virginia backwoods huntsman is known as\u00a0 “Spiderman” by perps due to his neck tattoo and proclivity for tackling fleeing drug dealers from above.\u00a0 Looking like the kind of guy who enjoys recreational narcotics, Michael spent the majority of his law enforcement career in the undercover vice sector.\u00a0 His best friend was his transgender sex worker drug informant, Leslie.\u00a0 Now he chats with Nancy Pelosi at 3am, dines with Sean Penn, and maintains a lasting friendship with Don Lemon.\u00a0 When the curtain was drawn on his MPD career, he spent his last months ostracized behind a desk after speaking truth about the event which left 140 officers injured and five dead.<\/p>\n

You astute newshounds have likely read anecdotes from January 6th.\u00a0 Pass the popcorn, however, when Hold the Line<\/em> recounts FBI interviews of suspects who assaulted him that day apprehended by surveillance cameras and their own sagely social media posts.\u00a0 In today’s Washington climate of macho posturing theatre, there are a few examples of legit tough-guys.\u00a0 After self-deploying to the Capitol on January 6th to back up fellow officers, the author of Hold the Line, Michael Fanone<\/a> and his compatriots stand as the sole reason the former are still in one piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
