Let's not forget the zip ties at least one was carrying and the hangman's noose...

Zip ties:

Scumbait Rubio is trying to compare BLM protestors with the insurrectionists. Zip ties and hangman's nooses NEVER appeared at any BLM protest. If they had, you can be sure those people would have been arrested tout de suite.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS A FAILED COUP ATTEMPT BY DONALD TRUMP. We can never forget this.

eta: Oh yes, the pipebombs at both the RNC and DNC, and the weapons carried by some insurrectionists. The Capitol Hill Police officer who was killed by assault with a fire extinguisher.

The media is not on it. The plan was far more insidious than imagined.

I'm not saying I know any better, but it looks like they just tied a loop with a knot and then attached a toilet paper roll with the spiral rope part to make it look more like a noose... ?

The zip ties (or flexicuffs as one DU'er has said) and the hangman's noose are proof this was not some harmless demonstration. They meant kidnapping, maybe ransom, and perhaps murder as well.
