Capitol Rioter Riley D. Kasper aka #MaceyGrey really enjoyed his insurrection experience…
Department of Justice
Riley D. Kasper, 23, of Pulaski, Wisconsin, is charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon to inflict bodily injury, civil disorder, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, and related offenses. He was arrested in Ashland, Wisconsin, and will make his initial appearance today in the Western District of Wisconsin.
According to court documents, on Jan. 6, starting at approximately 1:50 p.m., Kasper sprayed an aerosol canister of what is believed to be pepper spray towards law enforcement officers attempting to secure the Capitol building and grounds. That day, Kasper also communicated on social media with another individual, declaring, among other things, “I pepper sprayed 3 cops so bad they got undressed and went home,” and “As you can see in that video, it was my group that busted the first gate and kept chasing the cops down and pushing them back at the capitol.”
The next day, Kasper communicated with another individual on social media, saying, “You charge that line and start spraying they start running for cover like you’re coming at them with an ak” and “there is definitely something satisfying about pepper spraying cops in riot gear …”
He had so much fun he wanted to go back and do it again...

A Wisconsin man gushed about how much he enjoyed assaulting police at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and talked about plans to return with homemade pepper balls, according to new charges unsealed Thursday.
Riley D. Kasper, 23, of Pulaski, Wisconsin, was arrested Wednesday on multiple felony charges in connection to the Capitol riot, including civil disorder and assaulting police with a dangerous weapon.
Investigators say Kasper also enthused about how the riot was “like the most real version of paintball ever” and wrote that he wanted to make his own pepper balls to use on police or even use .68-caliber riot balls, called “jawbreakers,” against them.
“We’re gonna be the hero’s [sic] of the battle bro,” Kasper wrote in another message. “We’re gonna bring our paintball guns with f***ing pepper balls, a can of bear spray each, a baton, taser and my extension ladder… I’m on a war path with those capital police now.”
He was so exuberant he couldn’t stop talking about it...
He seems to take great pride in his performance that day…

"I mean the rest of the crowd gave support, but as you can see in that video, it was my group that busted the first gate and kept chasing the cops down and pushing them back at the capitol," Kasper allegedly said online. "We got inside the capital then they started shooting rubber bullets at peoples heads, even when me and another guy were carrying a barely conciliatory dude with blood dripping off his knees from his head to the ambulance they kept shooting at the back of the 3 of us."
The day after the insurrections, prosecutors said Kasper communicated with another individual on social media, saying, "You charge that line and start spraying they start running for cover like you're coming at them with an ak."

He allegedly told another friend he "fought cops all day and got pepper-sprayed," prosecutors wrote. "Tear gas is basically just a tiny bit worse than campfire smoke, actually campfire smoke hurts your eyes worse, but you get a tingling in your lungs when you get a breath of it."
It was all that yapping that did him in...

According to a statement of facts prepared by FBI Special Agent Justin Mosiman in Milwaukee and filed in court on Tuesday, the FBI received a tip from a confidential source that included screenshots of a Jan. 7, 2021, Facebook post by Kasper. It included images of a man dressed in camouflage spraying pepper spray during the riot outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

The confidential source told investigators he knew Kasper from high school and was in the same grade. The source said he was friends on Facebook with Kasper and that on Jan. 7, 2021, Kasper posted images of himself at the Jan. 6 rally staged by then-President Donald Trump.

Last week, a member of Kasper’s family also identified Kasper as the man seen in images taken at the Capitol, wearing the same clothing as the person seen in the YouTube videos, the document states.
A family member positively identified him in screenshots…
Incriminating evidence was discovered on his Facebook page...
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Agents got a search warrant for Kasper's Facebook account in November. Kasper had posted photos of his drive to Washington, D.C., from former President Donald Trump's rally just before the crowd invaded the Capitol, and video taken from the vanguard of the crowd as it breached barriers.

Kasper is charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers while armed with a dangerous weapon; civil disorder engaging in violence in a restricted building or ground with a dangerous weapon, committing acts of physical violence on Capitol grounds. Five of the six counts are felonies, punishable by up to five, 10 or 20 years in prison.
Formerly of Pulaski, Kasper's last address was in Saxon, in Iron County, but he is supposed to move out of that residence soon or face a formal eviction order, according to online court records. He has a pending criminal case for forgery in Brown County, where he was scheduled to enter a plea next month.
This dude is his own worst enemy….
