Remember all the "gr0ypers" who showed up to J6, and then continued their Nick Fuentes-worshiping habits? Let's take a closer look at one of them
Welcome to the sunlight, apparent pepper spray enthusiast Gabriel Warren Chase aka "Warren" aka #BlackAdidasBrat of Gainesville, FL!
For those unfamiliar, "Gr0ypers" are far right activists and supporters of white supremacist “America First” podcaster Nick Fuentes. Their goal is to launder far right views into mainstream conservatism under a cover of "Christian traditionalism."

Nick Fuentes is a white nationalist livestreamer who advocates pulling the Republican Party further to the extreme far-right end of the political spectrum. An outspoken admirer of fascists such as Mussolini, Fuentes emerged as an influential figure on the national stage during the now-infamous “Stop the Steal” movement, which relied on misinformation to falsely claim that Donald Trump had won the 2020 election and sought to overturn the results of it. Some Republican lawmakers have collaborated with his America First Foundation, which hosts an annual America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) alongside the more mainstream Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which it seeks to supplant.
Gabriel Warren Chase appeared to be quite involved with America First, having attended multiple Nick Fuentes events. He's been photographed next to Fuentes several times.
“Gabriel Chase, 22 #BlackAdidasBrat Gainesville, FL https://t.co/x7m9lT6nm0 Charged: 2022-09-12 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(1) Entering/Remaining in a Restricted Building 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(2) Disorderly/Disruptive in a Restricted Building 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(D) and (G) 17/”
However, it seems Chase was even more involved with J6 than other "Stop the Steal" events.
Gabriel Chase of Gainesville was documented as "Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building" but he also did other things.
Whatcha doing there, Gabe? Got yourself a canister of pepper spray?
Looks like a hit and run to us. Ooh, did he spray at security around the corner and run away? Kind of a cowardly move if you ask me!

Taking a closer look... yeah, that's spray.
IDK if that showed up in his charges. 🤔

At first everyone filed through the U.S. Capitol like a museum exhibit, and Gabriel Chase starts instigating property damage.
Rest in pieces, paper tray.
Joseph Brody (#SuitGuy) also walked with the group to the Senate Chamber doors.
Despite the appearance of an age gap between them, Joseph Brody and Gabe Warren Chase are only a year apart.
WASHINGTON — A Virginia man has been arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges for assaulting law enforcement officers and other actions during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the presidential election.
After a destructive tour through the Capitol with his buddies, and the spraying at the north door, Gabe Chase joined the gang at the #MediaSmash and took a souvenir for himself. #BlackAdidasBrat

Interactions with Fuentes by Chase and the #SuitGuysFlock occurred for months before and after J6.
The moment that the "America First arrests" report dropped, Fuentes threw them under the bus and denied involvement.
Not a "gr0yper", huh? Are we sure? Let's take a look at Gabriel Warren Chase's Twitter archives...
These are definitely Gabe's accounts.
"Were there any warning signs?"
Yes. There were warning signs. Plenty of them.
Gabe Chase and his buddies may have gone with "MAGA" hats on J6 but history shows Chase's clear connection with America First.
Even more frustrating is how AF instigators evade accountability and continue to radicalize more young people.
There are so many J6 updates that related news can turn into an endless drone of noise. Cops didn't stop it. The officials in charge didn't stop it.
We also think it's an indictment of the current climate when volunteers have to comb through online data to reveal the details.
Importantly, the insurrection could not have happened without the social media ecosystems that accelerated the spread of hate and incitement.
These ecosystems are alive and well, and if there is no change to them J6 will repeat.
