What ever happened to that guy with the zip ties for restraining hostages with? Is he going to do some time over this too? While not as affective at chopping meat with, I feel like the intent was more pronounced with the zip ties.

He got time but not as much

Eric Munchel, 32, of Tennessee, was sentenced to nearly five years in prison in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol in 2021, while his mother, Lisa Eisenhart, 59, received a two-and-a-half-year term.

That just shows you, when they post the sign-up sheet to bring things to the insurrection, you want to respond early so you can get something like zip-ties. If you put if off too long, you'll end up having to bring the hatchet.

Ideally, you want to be first so you can just bring the kool-aid. I understand they drink a lot of it.

Also sentencing is starting to get more aggressive as I think judges are seeing that these morons are becoming moron celebrities in the moron community. Aside from the judges that are also in the moron community.

the guy who shouted "trump won" after his sentencing kinda blew it for everyone else.

I think the buffalo hat dude is also fucking it up for the rest.
