This guy deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
I agree with your assessment of this man's actions, but the mob did get into the senate chamber. It was not secured. Right?

Mr. Goodman should be the first to walk through the doors to the West Porch for the Biden/Harris Inauguration. He should carry Officer Sicknick’s hat and badge for a moment of silence and appreciation for the Capitol Police who did their jobs. #CapitolPolice #Inauguration2021

O Senado foi salvo por Eugene Goldman, que atraiu os invasores para sala , onde foram presos, depois de passarem na porta do Senado, que fora evacuado naquele momento.
Well done! That’s courage and poise.

Igor, You remain an unsung hero for capturing this moment and for your bravery overall. Thanks Mehdi for featuring him.
No words. Tragic and heroic.

What quick thinking my initial thought when I initially saw it was why was he retreating now in retrospect I admire his courage.

He deserves a medal of freedom for saving lawmakers lives. No those who are getting them for playing golf.
Igor - as an outside observer, this heroic policeman following you. Seems you might have also been the hero here.
