The guy with zip-tie cuffs...

• throwawaysea 5y ago
  Not that this condones zip tie guy of breaking the law on other counts, but I thought the zip tie cuffs were found to be immaterial to his charges, because he found them rather than brought them with him (https://www.yahoo.com/news/capitol-riots-zip-tie-guy-190644133.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/capitol-riots-zip-tie-guy-1906441... or https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/eric-munchel-lisa-eisenhart-released-riot/2021/03/29/7c9eacd6-90bb-11eb-a74e-1f4cf89fd948_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/eric-munch...). My understanding is that he claimed he found them and took them away so Capitol police would not use them to restrain protesters. To my knowledge, subsequent charges have not actually determined any further malicious act stemming from the zip-tie cuffs specifically.
