Matthew Perna entered an open door manned by two Capitol police officers who did not attempt to stop him. Matthew did not carry a weapon, assault a police officer, or damage any property. His family said he stayed within the rope lines and took photos that afternoon.

Matthew—by all accounts a gentle soul, a devoted son and friend, a man who loved his country—had never been in any legal trouble in his life and presumably believed he, like any American, would be treated fairly by the justice system. That's not what happened. What Matthew and his family, as well as thousands of his countrymen, quickly learned is that they would be used as human pawns in the pResident's regime’s vicious and vengeful war on terror against Trump supporters.
