A Georgia man who boasted online after Jan. 6, 2021, about rushing police at the Capitol and declared that he would “die or do 20 years” before his children grew up in a country “these people are trying to create,” has entered a guilty plea. Zylas “Zee” Hamilton pleaded guilty to two counts of his four-count indictment including disorderly and disruptive conduct in a Capitol building or grounds and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

A count of knowingly entering the building and one other disorderly conduct charge will be dropped as a result of this plea. As Law&Crime previously reported, the braggadocio that Hamilton littered social media with, along with photos and videos of his foray inside the Capitol, helped lead to his arrest.

The FBI said it received a tip just days after Jan. 6 that showed a screenshot between Hamilton and another Facebook user where he admitted to being in the Capitol building. He went on to say in the chat that he “rushed” police, causing him to be “maced, tear gassed and shot with a rubber bullet in the shoulder.”

In his plea with federal prosecutors, Hamilton admits that he entered the Capitol through a Senate wing door “while a blaring alarm sounded” and that he understood he wasn’t supposed to be there. He walked through the Capitol’s first floor, went through the Crypt and stayed inside for 14 minutes. He obscured his face and ultimately exited through a Senate wing door after climbing through a broken window.

2. Statements like that fly in the face of MAGA politicians and Fox hosts who claim *

* that it was just a 'normal tourist visit' in the building.

6. I heard a snippet of Vance saying we need to

learn from Orban; that he had good lessons to teach us on running a country. Excuse me, but we've had over 250 years experience doing this; and just because the Repugs aren't smart enough to retain that knowledge doesn't mean the rest of us have forgotten!

Besides, I like the Social European models. Their people are happier, more secure, they have decent safety nets, with less stress and worry to contend with every day. They even have standards for vacation, sick, and parental leave. Not like here, where too many of us go to work sick as a dog and just pass the germs on to everyone around us.
