3. So, he stormed the Capitol with his Mommy, carried zip-ties from the duffel bag...

found on the floor that belonged to cops, and isn't some highly trained ex-military something-or-other but a bartender at a chain restaurant.

LOSER.

4. OK

Nashville TN, that sounds familiar?

Random Joe Blows with accent on the Blow.

visit from the FBI.

8. Holy crap. A retired Lt Colonel?

Someone who took an oath to defend the Constitution?

I think the military needs to investigate this as well. Pull his pension, strip him of his medals and maybe court martial him.

9. New Yorker story now posted in LBN with more details:

10. Theres an Eric Munchel in Cincinnati, a chef who's being confused with the other Eric.

16. You're right. Edited my original post.

[leighbythesea2]

17. It's interesting tho

Twitter is fleeting, we shall see what else happens. The public sleuthing is impressive. Guy said his "larp-flare" gave him away in the end.
I had to look up larp.

11. He says he's worried about the morals of our country..... seriously

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Here's his "dope" page (not what name says). It could have been so much worse

I'll be glad to see him put away.

A violent person with sick obsessions and hobbies.
