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.
