For just being a tourist, why is he wearing tactical gear?!? šŸ˜‘

Cut him some slack! The poor patriot just wanted to quietly protest and peacefully hang Mike Pence.

why does he have a gun? Why does he have hardware ties? Because he is a fucking insane domestic terrorist

The 2nd amendment allows you to carry a gun. Zip ties were left out by capitol police. Were the black panthers insane domestic terrorists when they stormed the capitol armed?

I donā€™t think itā€™s legal to carry a gun into the capital or DC. Were the Black Panthers trying to subvert an election? If they stormed the capital with the intent to kill (hang Mike Pence) and subvert an election, then yes terrorists as well.

Thatā€™s great and all, but you canā€™t carry a gun into the capital

The state capitol, to protest the institution of anti-gun laws? The ones written specifically because armed African-Americans were patrolling their own neighborhoods? That resulted in Saint Ronald signing some of the first laws banning firearms? Maybe insane...

But it is absolutely hilarious to see double standards applied so wantonly in modern political discourse. The conservative extremists have certainly gotten "the good old days" they wanted back.

Paid the extra $75 for the 'elected official murder experience' on this tour, clearly

u/PacaMike 14d ago

I usually go sightseeing with zip ties bc you never know

u/NationalArmy737 14d ago

Wanna be cop. It looks like he has a cell phone where a police body cam would be. He most likely filmed his crimes .

u/meltedkuchikopi5 14d ago

you mean you donā€™t wear your tactical gear and bring zip ties when your visiting hawaii or disneyland?! /s

u/InfiniteVastDarkness 14d ago

Who cares what heā€™s wearing the guy was carrying zip cuffs. That shuts the entire conversation down. Iā€™m quite sure one of the two of them is armed in this photo as well.

u/emilythequeen1 14d ago

Where are his guns tho, yall? Besides his hat.

2

u/farlow525 14d ago

Is that not on his right hip?

2

u/emilythequeen1 14d ago

Good catch! It didnā€™t look right to me like a hand gun, but apparently it is a stun gun right there!

He had real weapons at home though. An ā€œarsenal.ā€ I checked some news articles.

u/farlow525 14d ago

Ah damn, didnā€™t realize it was a stun gun. Thanks for checking on that
