The FBI Arrests Man Who Carried Zip Ties into Capitol - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

The F.B.I. arrested a man on Sunday who was photographed in the Senate chamber clad in military-style clothing and holding zip ties after internet researchers managed to piece together his identity.
Law enforcement officials said the man, Eric Gavelek Munchel, 30, was taken into custody in Nashville on federal charges. One of the officials said the authorities had recovered several weapons. No further details were available. Charges were expected to be announced soon.
Efforts to reach Mr. Munchel before his arrest were unsuccessful. He is one of more than a dozen people charged by federal authorities in connection with the attack on the Capitol.

Just imagine ruining your life by committing insurrection in the name of someone that doesn't give a single shit about you and never did.

This terrorist, insurrectionist, had handcuffs, zipties, pepper spray, and his pistol on his person when he invaded the capital building.

I hope this fuck get 25+ years in federal prison.

I'm afraid they are only getting 1 year but releasing them in a few months.

All because he decided to LARP in the same outfit and then take off his mask in the lobby of a hotel like no one was going to notice.

At least change your shirt, dude.

I love that his defense was "I found these ties on the ground and was looking for an officer to give them to"

Wasn't this the same guy who was trying to claim he had found the zip ties on the senate floor and was intending to return them to a police officer?

This scum better not just get one year for this.

That's the air force guy, unless Munchel also attempted that defense.

AF guy needs to be arrested if he hasn't been already.

I'm no expert on prison sentencing by any means, but this isn't just breaking and entering into a federal building. Not a chance they are only sentenced for one year after all criminal charges are made and go through trial.
