    well, there was also the dude with zip ties? Or do you think he was running around looking for open bags of trash to tie up? I mean, who doesn’t carry zip ties when touring national monuments?

    It was the Capitol. If zip ties gets you in...

    There's stupid, and then there's a special kind of stupid.

    It is on camera that he just picked up the zip ties off the floor and didn't bring them to the capitol. He also was following his mother around telling her, "Mom, where are you going? What are you doing?" "What's your goal here Mom?" "Don't vandalize anything, we aren't Antifa." "Don't break this." and "Easy, easy, easy. No vandalizing." He was recording the whole thing on a cell phone cam he had on his chest. Of all the Capitol rioters, he was one of the least riotous, but since he was wearing scary clothes and found some zip ties on the floor, he somehow became the boogeyman for the Dems.

    If the unarmed lady got death, and the shamon dude wandering around got 41 months, then the zip tie person should get life without parole.

    Here is the zip tie info. While they didn't bring them in, he did acquire them according to his body cam as follows:

    "At one point, MUNCHEL spots plastic handcuffs on a table inside a hallway in the Capitol. MUNCHEL exclaims, 'zipties. I need to get me some of them motherf---ers," and grabs several white plastic handcuffs from on top of a cabinet," the filing says, adding: "As MUNCHEL and [his mother, Lisa Eisenhart,] are attempting to leave, Eisenhart says words to the effect of, 'Don't carry the zip ties, just get 'em out of their hand.'"

    Also, while they didn't bring guns into the Capitol, they had them before going in. But, he did carry his taser in.

    its so bizarre and pathetic to see americans defending and making excuses for people who engaged in an insurrection against our government.

    i didnt realize we had so many terrorist sympathizers amongst us!

    Not surprised that the trump supporters are defending an armed insurrectionists attack on the Capitol with the intent to overturn the election results.

    uh oh, @StupidMoniker facts?

    and seriously, are you still calling this a harmless tour through the capitol and nobody really would have done anything if they found pelosi, or AOC or Pence? That’s the stand you want to take?

    honestly, that’s pretty stupid hill to defend.

    (edited to remove reference to wrong poster)

    They deserve punishment for sure. Especially the armed ones. Not sure if unarmed folks deserve multiple years in prison. But that is only my opinion and I respect yours.

    They tried to overthrow the government - that is treason, they should get a firing squad.

    What punishment would you be happy with for breaking into the Capitol with an armed mob with the intent to overturn the election?

    Let's start with the Antifa member that instigated it, and the obvious lax of security that the Capitol (it is spelled Capitol) that was there that day, even with warnings.

    Again. There is stupid, and there is a special kind of stupid.
