US Capitol suspect identified: Black, 25, Nation of Islam sympathizer

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Four senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation identified the suspect as a 25-year-old man from Indiana, Noah Green.

The fallen officer was identified as William Evans, who was known as Billy. Pittman said he was an 18-year veteran of the Capitol Police, and a member of the Capitol Division's First Responder's Unit.

Law-enforcement sources said Green recently lived in Virginia. In postings on social media, he let his friends and family know that the past few years have been "tough" and the past few months "tougher".

Green's page featured several recent postings that reference the teachings of the Nation of Islam, a Black separatist movement that does not follow the traditional teachings of Islam, and its leader Louis Farrakhan. Nation of Islam has been classified as a "designated hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to what the SPLC calls "the deeply racist, antisemitic and anti-LGBT rhetoric of its leaders".

The postings do not indicate why Green, who is Black, would target the Capitol. He posted about the "end times" in one post, and in another on March 17, warned about the "last days of our world as we know it".
