Man Arrested With Guillotine Near Capitol | Dayton News

A man named Philan-Tam-Duy Le sparked national buzz after being arrested near the Capitol with a real guillotine in his truck—after posting videos of himself in an executioner’s hood, ranting about lawmakers and defense contractors dragging America into endless wars. He claimed it was for self-defense, not malice, and said he had no beef with any specific Congress members. Despite driving from San Diego to D.C. with the device, he stayed calm during questioning. Released from jail, he’s set for trial on September 24th and has since gone quiet on social media. The case highlights how dissent is escalating—and how far some will go to make their point.
