Meet the Man Who Flew a Gyrcopter Onto the Capital Lawn

Description

This is Douglas Hughes, a political activist that landed a gyrocopter in front of the US Capitol building on April 15, 2015 in protest against corruption in politics. The gyrocopter was carrying 535 letters addressed to every member of Congress. Hughes was immediately arrested. He recounted his experience for Ruptly. Douglas' stunt was an attempt to draw attention to the lack of regulation on donation from companies and private donors to US political parties. The former postman said that he had no regrets.
