The guy with handcuff ties ...



A person named Eric Munchel previously worked at Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk, a bar and concert venue on Broadway Avenue in Nashville, owner Steve Smith confirmed Saturday. Smith said Munchel was terminated 60 days ago and declined to share the circumstances of his termination.

... snip ...

Munchel reportedly traveled to the Capitol with his mom

Shortly before the arrest, a British newspaper, The Sunday Times, published an interview with Munchel and his mother, Lisa Eisenhart, a nurse.

The report says they spoke with a journalist after they had taken part in the Capitol incident and as they were preparing to go home.

He’s quoted as saying, “It was a kind of flexing of muscles . . . . The intentions of going in were not to fight the police. The point of getting inside the building is to show them that we can, and we will.”

His mother also expressed radical views, according to the newspaper.

“This country was founded on revolution,” she’s quoted as saying. “If they’re going to take every legitimate means from us, and we can’t even express ourselves on the internet, we won’t even be able to speak freely, what is America for?”

I lost my mother in 2011. I would travel the fuck anywhere with her if I had the chance.

Traveling with people you love isn't something to be criticized.

Hit him concerning his beliefs. Hit him concerning his actions. Hit her witj her actions. Traveling with your mother isn't a bad thing. Don't try to make it so.

we can’t even express ourselves on the internet, we won’t even be able to speak freely, what is America for?

Someone needs to explain the concept of "free" speech... These internet platforms are not free speech zones... or the public parks. The have a right and an obligation to remove offensive content...

you can get a pen and piece of paper and a bunch of stamps and mail your thoughts, such as they are, to anyone you like.

But be warned, if you advocate the illegal overthrow of the government or call for our elected leaders to be executed, that isn't protected free speech.

that are enthralled with every worthless, made-up conspiracy theory possible don't have the where-with-all to realize that they are part of the biggest ongoing real-time conspiracy on the planet.
