They should be a footnote in his prosecution
Totally agree but also think its quite important that each case be judged in the facts that are still being established.
Was amazed to read that the flex cuffs chap's taser might not even be illegal to carry in the Capitol. The US only prevents firearms from being in there and tasers aren't consider firearms in the USA
Stonehedge-
The fact that very few of them had firearms also seems like a good argument for the whole thing being premeditated, as they're usually dripping in AR rifles and handguns, but carrying them in would've made the Capitol Hill police much more likely to open fire. The incident of the woman that was shot whilst climbing through a door is very disturbing, but the whole thing could've been so much worse if they charged in weapons drawn.

Lobbyists doing their 'job'.
Preventing tasers being classified as 'firearms' probably circumvents even mild restrictions upon ownership/concealed carry/transport across State lines etc.

My opinion is that he should be fucked regardless of his intent or ownership of the ties. They should be a footnote in his prosecution
