In case the headline is confusing as shit, we’ll start from the top: In 2019 North Carolina Trump fanboy Matthew Beddingfield, then 17, shot another 17 year old boy in the head in a Walmart parking lot during a botched robbery attempt. Details are murky, but it would appear that Beddingfield fired in self-defense when the other teen tried to rob him – probably over drugs because what the hell else would they be doing in a Walmart parking lot. The other teen apparently survived and it was probably a graze wound given that Beddingfield’s bond, initially set at $1 million, was bumped down to $100,000, and he was allowed to plead down to an unspecified lesser charge in August 2021. Beddingfield was then sentenced to probation on the state charges.

What the North Carolina prosecutors were evidently somehow unaware of at that point was that Beddingfield had already been identified by the Huffington Post from video footage of the January 6th, 2021 Capitol insurrection, showing him present with his dad, Jason Beddingfield, marching toward the building with thousands of other MAGA terrorists and assaulting police officers. Finally in March 2022, Beddingfield was arrested by the FBI and hit with felony charges of assaulting officers, impeding officers during a civil disorder, and carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon on restricted Capitol grounds, as well as several misdemeanors, according to court records. It’s not clear what if anything can be effected on Beddingfield’s state-level probation sentence if he was shown to have violated his bond on the shooting charge after the fact (we would appreciate any defense attorneys who’ve had some really fucking stupid clients to weigh in below).

But Matt’s got some more pressing issues right now, seeing as federal prosecutors want his bond revoked in the Capitol case now that he went and did the very fucking thing he’s famous for again and violated the pre-trial release terms by, among other stops made, eating at Buffalo Wild Wings with his mom on a Saturday night earlier this month, WCNC reports. Per the court documents, “Beddingfield asked for and received permission to ‘get a haircut’ and ‘do any essential shopping.’ After completing those tasks, however, instead of returning home, Beddingfield, who was accompanied by his mother andnot his third-party custodian, went out to eat at a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant and spent forty-five minutes there. After leaving, and more troubling, is the fact that he and those he was with “drove by and stopped at the end of the street [where] his father resides before proceeding to an unknown residence [ . . . ] before going home.”
