A prominent gun safe company has come under fire after admitting that it voluntarily provided the access code for a customer’s safe to the FBI.
Liberty Safe’s attempt to explain why the company readily surrendered a January 6 protester’s code has not gone over well, prompting critics to threaten giving the company “the Bud Light treatment.”
What’s the background?
Nathan Earl Hughes, 34, was arrested on Aug. 30 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on felony and misdemeanor charges.
According to the Biden Department of Justice, Hughes, spotted wearing an “Infowars”-branded Space Force shirt in the vicinity of the Lower West Terrace tunnel at the Capitol on Jan. 6, allegedly “helped other rioters physically fight police in an attempt to breach the line and enter the U.S. Capitol building.”
Extra to his social media posts, the Arkansas Times indicated that the FBI was able to identify Hughes on the basis of the “distinct notches at the top of his ears.”
