Tom Hamner – J6 Victim
We had a special guest attend our 26 March meeting, Tom Hamner, a J6 victim.
Tom started his discussion about who he was slowly pulling articles of clothing out of a box. First, a pair of work pants, then a helmet, work cloves, and finally a sweater with “Guns don’t kill people, Clintons do.” Then he asked us to Google his name. Up came the picture from January 6th, 2021, where he was wearing the helmet and the sweater.
Yep, he was a convicted J6 victim sentenced to 30 months in jail. He served 26 months before being pardoned by President Trump. Now he is working to clear his record.
Why the helmet? He attended a rally in Washington DC, the Saturday after the 2020 election where Antifa and BLM members became violent. The helmet was intended to provide a level of protection in case they appeared again on January 6th. He was in the crowd next to the person that was shot in the cheek with a rubber bullet. He was tased immediately after giving a high-5 to a black person in the crowd who was also tased.
Tom is a business owner in the Colorado Springs area whose businesses have suffered from his J6 conviction. He is the owner of Granite Transformations and One by One Tile and Stone. He does home and commercial renovation.
He said that he was dropped from Angie’s List because of his conviction and is hoping we can share his contact information for referrals. His showroom is located at 5243 Galley Road and he can be reach at 719-203-0249.
