[아시아경제 나한아 기자] As public opinion about the violence at the Capitol in Washington DC in the United States worsened and the identities of participants spread through social media, they belatedly apologized for saying “I was wrong.”

On the 6th, the figure of a man who broke into the Parliament House and hung on the balcony and shouting while sitting in the chairman’s seat of the House of Representatives spread to the world through the media and SNS, revealing his identity. His name is Josiah Colt, 34, running a small digital marketing company in Idaho.

Colt said through his social media, “All the news has been bombarded in my own image.” I pleaded.

He said, “I sincerely apologize to the people,” and said, “At that time, I thought I was doing the right thing, but it was a shame to me, my family, and my friends.”

Currently, he has deleted his social media account and has also closed the company’s homepage due to a flood of protests and threats.

Bradley Rucksteins, 52, CEO of Cognesia, a data analysis firm in Chicago, also posted a regret on his social media network, saying, “(The intrusion to the Capitol) was the worst decision in my life.” He was arrested by the police at the scene of the protest and his identity was known.

“All the violent acts that took place in Washington on the 6th (last) deserve to be condemned,” he added. “I ask for forgiveness from my family and colleagues who would have been embarrassed by me.” In addition, it is said that Luc Stales has stepped down from the position of CEO of Cognesia.
