If you can't possess a defensive weapon capable of deterring/ detaining an attacker, if needed, for an extended period of time, until you are either able to escape, or until the police arrive...
then zipties become a useful compliment to a taser (which is only able to disable an attacker temporarily).
- mcv 6y agoIf you are in a position to tie someone up, you're in a position to escape. There's no way it's a self-defense weapon. But even if it was, why would you need it in the Capitol? Sorry, but everything points to them planning to abduct the politicians they were searching for.
- koheripbal 6y agoI suppose you could make the argument that they could detain someone who's violent for the benefit of others in the crowd, but I agree that the implied intent of storming a building with politicians lends evidence to theory that they had the intention of taking hostages.
