NJ Rioter Admits Assaulting Cops on Jan. 6

Larry Fife Giberson, 22, of New Jersey, copped a plea to a felony charge for his role in the January 6th Capitol riot. The feds say Giberson wasn’t just a spectator; he was actively engaged in attacking law enforcement, shoving his way into the thick of the battle at the Lower West Terrace tunnel.

Court documents paint a picture of escalating violence. Giberson stormed the tunnel around 3:08 PM, immediately joining the frontline assault against officers. An MPD cop was reportedly crushed between the surging mob and the tunnel doors – and Giberson was *still* up front, fighting, during that incident. This wasn’t passive observation; it was a deliberate attack.

But Giberson didn’t stop there. After briefly retreating, he turned into a human revolving door, waving more rioters *into* the tunnel. He then rejoined the fray, participating in a coordinated push against the police line, further escalating the chaos and endangering officers. The feds have clear evidence of his active participation in the assault.

The charge? Civil disorder – a felony carrying a maximum sentence of five years in the slammer, plus potential financial penalties. Giberson’s sentencing is scheduled for November 1st, 2023, before U.S. District Court Judge Carl J. Nichols. Don’t expect a slap on the wrist; federal prosecutors are likely to push for a substantial prison term.

This case is part of a massive investigation into the January 6th attack. The FBI’s Newark Field Office, along with other law enforcement agencies, has been working tirelessly to identify and prosecute those responsible. So far, hundreds have been arrested, with dozens already convicted of various crimes related to the breach.

The feds are still seeking information and tips related to the Capitol riot. If you have any knowledge of individuals involved in the attack, especially those who assaulted law enforcement, contact the FBI. The investigation remains ongoing, and they’re determined to hold every perpetrator accountable for their actions that day.
