In the weeks before the
2021 storming of the United States Capitol, Biggs and other leading Proud Boys posted on
Parler,
calling on their followers to dress "incognito" on January 6, hoping to pass as antifa. "We are going to smell like you, move like you, and look like you. The only thing we'll do that's us is think like us!", he wrote, and "Jan 6th is gonna be epic".[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biggs#cite_note-OS-27][27][/url]
On January 6,
Biggs and Proud Boys leader
Ethan Nordean led a mob of Proud Boys members and supporters, as they marched near the Capitol.
Biggs used a walkie-talkie to issue instructions, while Nordean used a
bullhorn to communicate with the crowd. A Proud Boys livestreamer described the pair as
"Two men on a mission, with about 500 behind them ready to kick some butt for the benefit of this country"federal prosecutors charged in the indictment with
participating in the planning, preparation, and carrying out the insurrection, including fundraising for Proud Boys to travel to Washington;
acquiring paramilitary and tactical gear and supplies; and using radio and encrypted messaging apps to coordinate the siege of the Capitol. The indictment says that the four Proud Boys leaders were
among the first to forcibly breach the police lines and enter the Capitol, alongside the
Oath Keepers.
