The F.B.I. arrests a man who had carried zip ties into the Capitol.

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.

The privilege they believe they automatically acquire in life just for existing is mind-blowing.

Sobbing "this is what they do to us" after storming a government building and trying to murder politicians that won't install a dictatorship is breathtaking. They are so privileged and deluded.

Why the feck is he crying?? Man up you fecking pansy and face the consequences.
This is why Trump needs to be impeached. He will still have a bunch of brainless shitc**ts like this following him and they will still vote for him if given the opportunity.

He also added that he thought has was welcome to enter the Capitol when he arrived at its doors, despite the crowd of violent insurrectionists clashing with law enforcement.
Between this and claiming he found the zip ties on the ground and was only holding on to them to give them to an officer. Bloke needs to work on his excuses.

The mental deficients are now stating via social media that there’s no standing army or police force that can stop them & they will be descending on DC en masse on the 20th. Can’t wait.
My money is on the 6200 National Guard soldiers that are being deployed to DC for the inauguration (plus all the FBI, DHS, and USSS personnel that will be deployed)

You can't help but start thinking what portion of these are themselves q-nuts
Honestly, I’ve seen lots of former USAF and Marines with Q leanings. I can’t tell you the last Army or Navy person I’ve come across who is into that shit.

Completely anecdotal, obviously, but it is an interesting pattern.

With the guardsmen , they can have any sort of day job, correct? Maybe not the top officers of course.

All kinds of possibilities when it comes to Guard & Reserve. Some are full-time be it AGR (active guard reserve) or a technician (civil servant tied to a military billet; dual hat). Some serve on a tour ranging from a few days to many months, some are deployed. Most are traditional weekend or once/twice per year types. For example, I've been an enlsited IMA reserve (we belong to the RegAF commands) for 20.5 of my 24.5 years but I'm often on some kind of active tour, 3-12 months at a time, and have accumulated nearly 12 more active duty years in addition to my initial entry 4 years RegAF.

Many officers in the Guard/Reserve hold professional careers outside service. For example, a wing vice commander I worked for back in 2001-03 was a retired commercial pilot (think Delta, if memory serves) turned big shot board member, and flew F-16s on his drill days. He later promoted from Col to Brig Gen to Maj Gen and retired. There are many enlisted and officers that are like me - manday whores we're called. Basically, we don't hold full-time work and just find short/long tours and travel the globe supporting this/that mission.
