If I recall this was the guy who brought along his emotional support mom to the insurrection.

Not knocking that he did it, to be honest. "Where are the parents," I remember thinking, watching Jan 6th live.

Eric Munchel. This scumbag and his emotional support mom deserve the maximum punishment allowed.

It’s not, not sure why they show zip tie guy, but that’s not who the article is about. His name was Eric and he was from Nashville. He’s much younger too, like in his 20s. Also, not a veteran.. he was an avid airsoft enthusiast though, don’t ask me how I know that.

Edit: here’s a article with a picture of the actual guy the story is about, the goofy helmet guy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/11/16/larry-brock-trial-guilty/

Zip tie guy is a different guy with implementations meant to kidnap and or kill members of the government during a coup. This guy is the one who said he “found” the flex cuffs. Hence, flex-cuff guy. It gets difficult to keep all those traitors straight considering there were so many.

This is actually not him, but they were in the chamber at the same time. The photo you see atop this article is the person you’re referencing, but Brock is an older man who wore desert camo and a helmet. Leave it to CNN to not put in the effort to find a photo.

Yes. We went over that. There’s two guys that were famously running around with ties and photographed doing so - zip tie guy and this guy who said he found flex cuffs in the capitol. This is that last guy.

Replying to possumallawishes (#550,171)

Yes. That has been discussed. Read the article, this is about the other guy who carried flex cuffs and said he found them.

> According to prosecutors, Brock walked around the Senate chamber for eight minutes on January 6, rifling through senators’ desks while wearing a helmet, tactical vest and carrying plastic flex-cuffs he found in the Rotunda that day.

Replying to pegothejerk (#550,209)

Yes, I understand that. However, the guy in the picture is known as “zip tie guy” and he’s clearly carrying flexicuffs. So it’s kinda dumb to call Brock flexicuff guy and distinguishing him from zip tie guy, because they both had flexicuffs and one is commonly known as zip tie guy. You’re talking about helmet guy. Flexicuff/zip tie guy is the same person, you’re trying to distinguish Brock as flexicuff guy but literally no one has called him that except you.

And you’re free to get pissy about it. Just clarifying since your comment is at the top and it’s misleading when coupled with the picture… especially when he’s literally carrying flexicuffs…. But my mistake, zip tie guy is so clearly a different guy, cause he was carrying <checks notes> flexicuffs.

I don't think so. Retirement pension can only be taken if a veteran is convicted of certain felonies from a very specific list, and I don't see the one felony he was convicted of on there (Hiss Act). Though Section 2385 (advocating the overthrow of the government) is on there, punishable by 20 years in prison, and every single one of these pieces of shit is clearly guilty of that, so take that for what you will.

Lol, yeah that’s about the size of a suburb. The name describes an area which is not as densely populated as an inner city, yet more densely populated than a rural area in the countryside. You don’t think 160k is a big metropolis do you? It’s 40 minutes from nashville, which is a major metropolitan center.

Literally from Murfreesboro Wikipedia:

>> Today, it is the largest suburb of Nashville…

You're 100% correct.

A lot more of these people need to be in prison for life. 23 hours in their prison cell, and one hour for exercise while alone. No air conditioning, no television, no computers, very few visitors, etc. But their white, so they basically are all being allowed to plead to lesser charges.

These people are scum. I have more trust for Mexican cartel criminals than these terrorists. But they are all getting handled with kid gloves.

This guy called for insurrection.

excerpt:

"In late December 2020, Brock wrote on social media that “I prefer insurrection at this point,” according to prosecutors, who say Brock also wrote: “Our second American Revolution begins in less than two days” on January 5, 2021.

Brock will be sentenced in February."

Don't worry, you'll get to see a second one in a couple years, since Trump and his cronies (Hawley, Qbert, Marjorie, Stone, Giuliani, Flynn brothers, et al.) will never get indicted.

Makes one wonder how many documents he sold, and to which countries/people. He had 18 months of unfettered access to do whatever he wanted with those top-secret documents, and who knows what he did with classified information while in office.

He's not some mastermind who is plotting and scheming. If you went into his head, it would just sound like wind whistling through a cave. The terrifying thing about Trump is how much damage he's able to do without even thinking about it.

You sure come across as self-righteous on a semantic issue that is by no means definitively one way or the other. Sure, consider it a suburb since a lot of people live there and work in nashville. But it's equally valid to not consider it a suburb as is a town that dates back to the 18th century, geographically is quite separate from nashville, arguably is not part of the greater Nashville metropolitan area (though headedthat way), has its own industry and economy and is not completely reliant on Nashville, and is growing much faster than Nashville as it's own city not as a support city. I don't think most people who live in Murfreesboro consider it a suburb. You do, good for you. Words are like that.

I’m caught up on a semantic issue? Murfreesboro is 25 miles from nashville, when talking about a national headline, it seems pretty fucking standard to call that nashville, but homeboy wants to correct me that it was murfreesboro, and guess what? Every news article I can find says he’s from Nashville.

Why don’t you google “Murfreesboro suburb” and see. It’s commonly referred to as the largest nashville suburb. I’m sorry if you and sauerkraut want to believe that Murfreesboro is it’s own thing with national prominence, the fact is, it isn’t. It’s a suburb, pretty plain and simply. You can certainly believe whatever you want, and you can assume it’s long history or “it’s own economy” make it its own thing, but you’re just wrong and being kinda hard headed. And it’s really irrelelvent to the conversation. I’m not the one diverting the conversation towards semantics, that’s you and sauerkraut, it should have been painfully obvious who I was talking about. Just google “Eric nashville zip tie guy”, it’s not like specifying Murfreesboro adds any specificity that is necessary to distinguish this guy.

But I’m self righteous? You’re over here defending the honor of a town from being called a suburb. That’s just weird.

To be fair, one is a brain dead hypocrite that lives outside of reality and the other one has been part of the stagnation and corruption in government longer than most people have been alive and is one of the most prominent faces of government corruption.

Not that either of them deserve to be assaulted or threatened, but that rage against them is entirely justified.

I don’t know. I’ve yet to see much reported about either person that would trigger Jan 6th levels of meltdown in me!

I’m not American, so for example, I see AOC and Sanders politics at work here in parts of the EU and it works just fine, so from my perspective neither AOC, Pelosi, Sanders, etc come across particularly extreme at all. In fact the joke here was that if Sanders was in Ireland he’d just be a member of the old ‘Progressive Democrats’ and if AOC was in England she’d just be a regular member of the Labour Party. 100% not extreme positions at all, but in America they are considered by their detractors to be so extreme that they are a danger to society. That reaction always blows my mind.
