Christopher H. Keniley

Christopher H. Keniley, of Greenfield, Massachusetts, carried an American flag on a pole outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, shouting "Yeah the criminals are inside, go get them," before entering the building around 3:09 p.m. while still holding the flag; he was identified in part after a Massachusetts State Trooper who stopped him for an unrelated traffic violation recognized him from FBI images. He pleaded guilty to two charges, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, with other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 7/22/2024 to 10 days of incarceration, 12 months of probation, a $20 special assessment, and $500 in restitution.
