The Epoch Times reports that retired Air Force lieutenant colonel Larry Brock Jr. has shed 30 pounds as a result of his January hunger strike. Brock was convicted guilty of breaking into the Capitol building on January 6 and given a two-year jail term.
“I have always believed in the American people, and I still do. So you need to understand that I cannot accept the decision of this court. It is the action of a hostile and illegitimate regime against an American Patriot,” In a moving video statement, Brock stated. “So what can I do? I refuse to take up weapons against you. I love you too much. I’ve offered my life for you, and that’s what I’m doing again. I will not eat a single meal as a political prisoner of this corrupt and illegitimate regime.”

Six accusations, including Obstruction of an Official Proceeding, which carries a maximum 20-year jail sentence, are brought against a former Air Force colonel. The accusations derive from his participation in the January 6 rioting at the Capitol. The guy was handed in to the FBI by his ex-wife, who told the agency that she “wasn’t surprised” to recognize him in pictures from the brawl.
Brock’s legal issues developed quickly; he was detained on January 10, fired from his employment, and then released under supervision a few days later. His legal troubles didn’t finish there, sadly; on March 18, he was given a two-year term.
A combat veteran confirmed his presence at the Capitol and highlighted that he took part in a nonviolent demonstration against the election results in a recorded statement. He wore protective gear out of caution against possible attacks from Antifa and BLM militants.
There were covert D.C. Metropolitan Police personnel present that day among the demonstrators. Surprisingly, several of these cops were yelling “go, go, go!” to the throng as they approached the Capitol.
Brock said that when he approached the Capitol terrace over construction scaffolding, he was standing immediately close to the undercover police officers. He entered the premises through an open entrance and started to make his way around. He did regret trying to unlock a door with a set of keys for a small period of time. “I wish I hadn’t done that,” he said. “When the keys didn’t work,” He placed them back where he had found them—on the desk.
Brock claimed to have protected law enforcement officers, and a video clip proved it. In addition, he made it clear that he didn’t steal or vandalize, wasn’t a member of any militia or organized organization, and didn’t carry any weapons. Despite these facts, Brock was given a two-year jail term for just getting lost within a government building.
“Mom, Dad, Lowry, Ann, I love you guys. You raised me well. I choose to be a man of character. I choose my method of death. I know that what I am going to do is probably going to hurt you, and I’m sorry. But some things are worth dying for,” the former colonel of the Air Force stated upon beginning his hunger strike.

“This is a call to action. I welcome all my fellow J6 Political Prisoners to join me in this hunger strike,” On his website, he wrote, “From Patriot to Political Prisoner,” before turning himself in to the police. “We are singularly focused. We DEMAND the release of all (high-resolution/high-quality) videos related to the events of January 6th, to the American People directly.”
Brock is a “fantastic human being” who has been betrayed by the nation he served, according to Troy Porter, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who has known Brock since they were both in the school. “He’s a fantastic human being. A man of unparalleled character and a man of principle, which is very rare,” Porter said to the source.
He never thought the country that he loves and served for so many years would turn on him, and I feel the same way. I’m totally dumbfounded that the country would turn on him in such a manner when all he simply wants is to preserve liberty,” he went on to say.
In order to identify further MPD and undercover law enforcement officers, as well as other agitators engaged, Brock demands on the entire release of more over 41,000 hours of CCTV material.
