Re: Assault on the Capitol (DC)
I dunno. If for some reason the cops came around here asking about weapons, I’d show them the gun safe, but it probably wouldn’t occur to me to show them knives and axes, although we have plenty of those. I mean, I know that they can be used as weapons, but I tend to think of them as tools.
Having said that, I don’t know what’s in this “overseas cargo shipment.”
But I also don’t think it’s any accident that the DOJ used that language. “Overseas cargo shipment” sounds a lot scarier than “Dude ordered stuff on Amazon and it’s coming from China.”

Or, and call me crazy if I’m missing something obvious here, they could just switch it to the other leg.
Also, I’m guessing Taylor’s attorney Dyke Huish meant lesions.

Re: Assault on the Capitol (DC)
It's possible that the trigger for the feds was 2 axes and 2 knives. I might order multiple knives and axes if I was say, doing tree clearing with a scout troop, or teaching wood tool safety to said scouts, but if I were looking to clear stuff in my back yard, 1 axe and 1 knife would probably be fine. If he lived in a wooded area, he could probably get others to show up with their axes and knives.Maybenaut wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 7:24 pm I dunno.

His January 5 photo of his "tools" which included two hatches/axes and at least one knife is likely why the feds took notice.

If I were arrested for a crime of violence, and I were placed on some sort of house arrest with restrictions, I would make gosh darn sure that I did not do anything stoopid during my pre-release period to piss off the prosecution and the judge. I am yellow enough to realize that if I am convicted at trial, or agree to a plea bargain that any bonehead move that I make would enhance the sentencing that I would receive.
I would have asked my lawyer whether I could order these knives and axes. (I presume this discussion with counsel is privileged.) If my lawyer said that it was a bad idea, I'd wait. If my lawyer said go ahead, then I would. Presumably there is some relief if I follow counsel's advice and that advice is wrong.
But I think these Neanderthals try to get away with as much as they can, because freedumb and all that.
Personally, I think that knives and axes are tools too, but they double as weapons. Lotsa stabbings each year. And we all remember Lizzie Borden, despite her acquittal.
