Judge denies federal prosecutors’ request to hold in the D.C. jail a man who police say drove a 10-foot-tall guillotine to the Capitol: “He didn’t even threaten anyone.” The 35-year-old allegedly described the functioning guillotine as the “real deal.” https://t.co/57wEL78rdM 1.9K views · 30 likes · 13 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Officers confirmed the blade was metal and sharpened on an angle, the report said. Le told officers he "wasn't there for any specific reason" and "didn't have issue with specific members of Congress," according to the report. 380 views · 6 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
