“Investigators are trying to determine whether some who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday intended to do more than disrupt the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory,” the Washington Post reports.

“Authorities are particularly interested in images of people carrying zip ties, a plastic version of handcuffs, and at least one man was arrested while allegedly carrying a pistol on the Capitol grounds.”

First zip-tie guy is a twenty-something jackass. Second zip-tie guy is older, most likely ex-military. In the photo I saw he looked like he was instructing younger rioters. If he is in fact ex-military I hope that he is prosecuted under UCMJ and sent to Leavenworth. This guy doesn't strike me as an amateur.
