Now wearing tactical gear is considered a major crime...
The latest trial of the trespassers who entered the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, has come to a close. 55-year-old Larry Brock, a Texas resident and retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, was convicted of multiple charges yesterday in Washington. As with so many of the other rioters we’ve seen being rushed through the courts, both prosecutors and the media seemed hard-pressed to come up with any specifics as to what Brock did on that day to warrant a conviction in federal court that will very likely result in a lengthy prison sentence. The one thing everyone seemed to agree on was that Brock was “guilty” of wearing “military gear” (a tactical vest and a helmet) which is now apparently either a crime or indicative of criminal activity somehow.-

A good lawyer should help him appeal that conviction. Can't imagine how that could stand up constitutionally.
Lawyers aren't cheap.
@angelo That's a big problem with the process. The politicians have access to a basically inexhaustible supply of taxpayers money, not having to spend a penny of their own, for their witch hunts, while the people they target have to use up whatever limited resources they have. It ends up with the lives of a government's targets being ruined either way in a can't win situation.
