(Jewish Group) Capitol rioter who wore 'Camp Auschwitz' sweatshirt sentenced to 75 days in prison
The rioter whose “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt went viral in a photo on social media during the Jan. 6 insurrection has been sentenced to 75 days in prison. In January 2022, Robert Packer, 57, pleaded guilty to one count of parading, demonstrating or picketing. As part of his plea agreement, Packer agreed to cooperate with the federal government.
At Packer’s sentencing, a prosecutor revealed that Packer wore an SS T-shirt under the Camp Auschwitz hoodie, according to Law & Crime News. That news site also reported that Packer was allegedly part of a group headed to the office of Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish.
Prior to Thursday’s hearing, federal prosecutors said Packer should serve 75 days in prison, although he faced up to a maximum of six months in prison. Other rioters who have been charged on the same account received little or no prison time. Since the insurrection, more than 730 people have been charged with federal crimes, of which about 200 of them have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors.
Packer was arrested in January 2021, a week after the riot. When FBI agents asked Packer why he wore the sweatshirt, he replied, “because I was cold.” Following his arrest, FBI agents searched Packer’s home. They found swastika artwork, VCR tapes with photos of Adolf Hitler, a German eagle with a swastika and a folder entitled “White’s Only Material.”
