Is with him at his side..a red cap, an orange knit cap under it n she’s all in gray..right next to him.
A family outing. To be honest, I could not understand his name ramblings but I don’t care as long as they get both of them in custody.

After many contributions from people following this thread we now have confirmation that zip-tie guy is Eric Munchel, of Nashville, TN.

Eric is currently a bartender at Bartender at Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille.

Yeah that makes sense. It first he looked the part but I started to really wonder about his qualifications when it began looking like he came with his mom.

Pretty sure he picked those zip ties up from a Capitol Police bag that got dropped.

Were they told that their potential targets may be hiding there?

They seem intent on the area below the chairs.

That dude looks like a current or retired military officer. I'd reckon Lt. Col or above.
Clean shave where everybody else missed shave... air of command...

Nice clean pic of him. I understand some journo has ID'd him to the FBI and said the same.... officer... military Academy grad.

THAT's the asshole I want identified publicly.
