Still looking to ID this guy, here's a closeup.

1. Shit. It looks like me. Seriously, though, this guy looks like he's in on the plan. He looks ...

... like a cop.

I might start my search with the Chicago or Cincinnati Fire Dept. He looks mid west to me and specifically a lot like a Chicagoan.

Purely educated hunch.

[SheltieLover]

10. Agreed.

K&R!

[Harker]

17. The facial hair configuration looks like that of about 75%

of guys in my age group (early 60s.)

I guess I really started something back in the 1970s.

[2naSalit]

27. I thought he looks like a cop too.

But this morning I can come up with a few other cities that start with "C" like Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus.

The is absolutely wild-eyed. There is no reasoning with zombies like this.

But thinking he's probably from Chi-town is probably on.

[marble falls]

30. No doubt in my mind, hunch wise. He looks all Chicagoish to me.

[marble falls]

54. Someone else here thinks I'm some sort of bigot about Chicago and fat, old white men ...

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

43. How exactly do Chicagoans have a distinct look?

[marble falls]

45. Why don't you just get your point?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

49. My point is, I have never noticed that people from Chicago have

a distinctive look, and I'm wondering why anyone would say that. It's a white man, perhaps in his 60's, with facial hair. Lots and lots of white men everywhere in the country look a lot like that, not just those in Chicago.

[marble falls]

51. I keep forgetting what a uniform and homogenous nation we are. We oughta start wearing numbers.

Thanks for setting me straight.


Meanwhile, he looks like a Chicagoan to me.

[Arne]

48. Uaually you can peg them when they laugh.

For some reason Chicago has a very distinctive laugh.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

50. So is there video where we can hear him laughing?

I have known plenty of people from Chicago, and have never noticed a distinctive laugh. Some decades ago I noticed that people from that city tended to pronounce it "Chicawgo", rather than the "Chicahgo" that most of us said. But it seems as though that pronunciation has disappeared.

[marble falls]

53. Do you know this ex-Chicago Fireman with the son on the Chicago Police Department????????

Who is David Quintavalle? Chicago Firefighter Departement (CFD); Bio, Wiki, Age, Wife, Son

https://globintel.com/capitol/who-is-david-quintavalle-chicago-firefighter-departement-cfd-bio-wiki-age/

David Quintavalle is a 62-year-old retired Chicago Firefighter Departement (CFD) personnel who is alleged to be the man seen throwing a fire extinguisher at a police officer during the Capitol Protests on Jan 6th, 2020.

-snip-

Quintavalle has no social media presence to ascertain that he is Trump Supporter, his brother, however, who goes by the name Keith Quintavalle is not a Trump Supporter as per his Facebook Posts. In March 2017. he wrote,

“President Trump, You are the sick and bad guy. You are unprofessional and degrading the office of President.”

The two brothers appear not to be on good terms if a Facebook post in 2017 is something to go by. His brother Keith wrote that David had acquired his mother’s property fraudulently and sold it. The Post reads,

12802 DAVID QUINTAVALLE, FIREFIGHTER, ENGINE 50
Ent CFD: 02/22/1985 $6,024.71 beginning 11/23/2016
Retired: 11/23/2016 based on 75% of Final Average Salary
$180.74 annuity increment, 3%, begins 12/01/2017

Looks like after my brother fraudulently acquired my mothers house He sold it and retired on a nice salary with the Chicago Fire Department. 72K a year not bad for a bum


A video posted by TMZ shows a man throwing a Fire Extinguisher towards a Capitol Police Officer. One of the people who died from the riots was a police officer named, Brian Sicknick after he was hit by a fire extinguisher and tweeps were quick to connect the dots and ID a potential suspect.

Back in Feb 2020, Quintavalle was among the protesters who hit the picket lines after promotional exams were canceled because of technical problems. Many carried signs Wednesday that said “exam scam 2020,” referring to the oral exams scheduled for roughly 1,600 firefighters vying to become lieutenants and 120 candidates for battalion chief. You can read the full article on ABC News here.

His son is a Police Officer

-snip-


Some people used to do photo analysis in a former life. It wasn't luck. Like I said, he looks a lot like me, except for the watch-cap with CFD on it and the shirtjacket.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

58. Yes, he's been identified as being from Chicago.

He still looks like an awful lot of other white men in his age range, most of whom don't live in or come from Chicago.

Maybe I should go ahead and bash all Chicago firemen based on his involvement with the riots.

[marble falls]

60. Who said bash CFD???? That's all you. You need to look closer at the photo and look how ...

... the clothes are worn. Look the attitude, don't you get any sense of the subject?

I am truly sorry I pissed you off.

I was on the money with this guy. The CFD typeface on his cap is Chicago's, Cincinnati's is different. That was the first confirmation of hunch.

The rest was a matter of breaking down what I saw in the photos.

For the fun of it, check out the old SNL "Chicago guys" skits on youtube.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

62. What makes you think I'm bashing CFD?

I'm puzzled that someone should say a person looks like he's from Chicago, that's all. I mean, I've known my share of people from Chicago and never felt they shared a distinctive look.

And no one started by referencing his hat or the typeface. Just what he looked like.

I guess I can safely ascribe Chicago as the home of all older white guys with facial hair from now on.

[marble falls]

64. I was pointing I never said anything bad about CFD. You brought up me bashing CFD!

See? You brought it up.

[jpak]

2. Is that a fire extinguisher?

C Fire Department ?

CFD on hat?

[tinrobot]

4. He threw the fire extinguisher that killed a Capitol Police Officer.

Needs to be ID'd.

[lagomorph777]

29. Throw the book at him - and a fire extinguisher.

He's been ID'd so it's just a matter of time now.

[MontanaMama]

37. He has been ID'd?

I missed that.

[lagomorph777]

41. Update in the OP (and further down this thread):

"Update:
David Quintavalle retired chicago fire department engine 50. He has a son in the police department and has been known to protest at Blue Lives Matter events."

[MontanaMama]

44. Gotcha.

Thank you. I hadn’t gone far enough.

[Laurelin]

3. CFD?

Chicago fire department?

[Lonestarblue]

6. Cincinnati Fire Department? Columbus Fire Department?

[marble falls]

25. We're on that lead right now.

[Hugin]

9. Earlier, people were wondering where the fire extinguisher came from...

Because, it was thought the incident happened before the assassins had access to Capitol equipment. (unconfirmed)

He may have brought it with him. As part of his insurrectionist cos-play.

[marble falls]

26. Watch caps are manditory in Chi-town. That guys looks Chicago to me.

[Sanity Claws]

7. He was a union board member

as well as a Chicago Fire Officer. See https://chicagoareafire.com/blog/tag/david-quintavalle/
He thinks it is discrimination if Chicago gives preference to graduates of Chicago public schools. After all, it is already a hardship that Chicago requires fire fighters to live in the City and pay taxes to support Chicago public schools.

[SidDithers]

8. I believe he's been identified....

Sid

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

11. His distaste for paying taxes in Chicago will soon be a thing of the past

I'm sure he's a big supporter of Trump's enamorment with the Federal Death Penalty. As much as I oppose the death penalty, there's probably some Karma to this gentleman having to worry about its imposition. At any rate, he will be spending the remainder of his days in a federal penitentiary.

[Captain Zero]

56. Move him outta Chicago to Terre Haute IN

Federal Pen. He can have Timothy Mcveigh's old cell.

[Rorey]

12. Looks like his brother doesn't think much of him

From his brother's FB

12802 DAVID QUINTAVALLE, FIREFIGHTER, ENGINE 50

[mitch96]

13. So do you have to live in Chicago to collect a pension? just curious...nt

[Rorey]

14. I'm not sure what you're getting at

I was noticing more the part about how he thinks his brother fraudulently acquired their mother's house.

If you check out his brother's FB, you'll see that he despises trump. So I imagine they don't have a very good relationship with each other.

[mitch96]

20. I read in this thread that CFD has to live in Chicago.I was wondering if pension works the same way

[Rorey]

21. Ah, I see

That would seem like a pretty harsh rule, but who knows.

[mitch96]

23. Yup, $72k/yr and move to a low tax state would be sweet.. Fla?Tenn?Nevada?... nt

[Rorey]

15. To clarify

The way it looks to me is that his brother said the scumbag fraudulently took their mother's house after she died, and that the scumbag was already getting a decent pension so it wasn't because he needed the money.

[BunnyMcGee]

34. Chicago Fire Dept Engine 50 Truck 18

Address: 5000 S Union Ave, Chicago, IL 60609

[catbyte]

40. He also doesn't think much of trump either, calling him a fraud and "a bad man" on FB in 2017

[Nevilledog]

59. See Lindsey Graham

[oasis]

22. He's not getting away with this. nt

[Ligyron]

24. Dad? DAD is that YOU??

So that's what you've been doing.

I need that money you borrowed and my car back, right now. STOP! Where are you going? GET BACK HERE!!!

[LisaL]

31. Blue lives matter-until they don't, with this group.

Throwing a fire extinguisher at the cops, you have to know you might kill a cop.

[BunnyMcGee]

32. Before I got to the story details, I saw CFD and thought Chicago Fire Dept

Just so stupid to wear things so identifiable

[jcgoldie]

33. Son is a chicago cop

What a fucking idiot.

[Lord Ludd]

35. Bruce Willis?

https://www.theringer.com/movies/2019/1/18/18187697/bruce-willis-glass-shyamalan-career-retrospective

[MineralMan]

36. My First Thought Was: Chicago Fire Department

Turns out that was correct. Those people at that insurrection were pretty much all idiots.

Look straight at the camera, won't you? You're making history here.

[catbyte]

42. Why would they hide? They were proud to be doing Dear Leader's bidding.

I'll bet it never crossed any one of their minds that there would be repercussions for this. After all, Dear Leader was going to be named President for Life after all the Democrats were rounded up and executed. And after that, Biff, then Princess Sparkle Pony would follow him in the succession.

[MineralMan]

46. "Proud but Stupid". They should wear hats that say that.

[FakeNoose]

38. The first pic looks like Jeffrey Epstein

But I thought "Naaah, it can't be."

[WilliamPlanke]

39. See video: somebody gets pushed ...

... over the safety railing right before the throw. Was it a policeman who got pushed?

[imanamerican63]

47. I saw that!

The police office was attacked from behind and pushed over the wall!

[58Sunliner]

52. Blue lives don't matter? That was just a con?

It was just a way to camouflage their hate? I'm shocked.
Throw the book at that creep.

[marble falls]

55. Add this to the mix ...

He's a retired CFD, his son is a CPD, he and his wife have protested in support of CPD that the CPD even took notice.

Crazy.

[GopherGal]

63. Blue Lives Matter

only as long as they (the "Blue&quot are persecuting the people they (the thin blue line flag flyers) hate.

[Sogo]

57. It says the ID is still trying to be confirmed.

From the comments below, it sounds like his brother would help with that....

[garybeck]

61. is this a video of the officer Sicknick being struck?

n/t

[ffr]

65. This site appears to confirm his age and more.

[a_r_m]

66. Not Him

The picture of the extinguisherman at the rally is not David Quintavalle. It has been confirmed. You need to change your "Update" because it is not accurate and people on this thread are taking it as definitive proof.

See the link for the story. You all need to stop attacking people before the facts come out. There are serious consequences for these people when you put their personal info out there with false allegations.

[LunaSea]

67. Done

Thanks

[LunaSea]

68. Arrested

And it WAS a retired fireman.
What a cruel irony.
