This Level of Tyranny Sickens Me

I'm pretty sure the can prove they trespassed.

Gawd they are purty though.

The guy on the right is John Sullivan, an antifa/blm scum. We know that he and his crew were breaking windows and doors because they posted the video on the Internet.

So, as long as they were just part of the mob and didn't actually hit anyone, you're going to absolve the rioters of responsibility for the violence? How many of the hundreds, if not thousands, of people on the west side of the Capitol, who could see numerous rioters at the front of the mob pulling law enforcement officers down the stairs and beating them, are OK because they "just happened to be there"?The video is right here. This wasn't just a couple fop bad eggs in a group of peaceful protesters. This was a violent mob of thugs.

Edited to add: I was wrong. If you freeze-frame the video, you can see that the guy at the front was beating a cop with a hockey stick, not a flag pole.

Noisily standing around does not make one complicit.

More Kool-aid?

Later in the summer, Sullivan helped organize a pro-gun-rights rally and marched with self-styled militia members at the Utah Capitol, KSL-TV reported, further infuriating Black activists.

Sullivan’s reputation as an agitator and bad actor has followed him into other protest circles. In encrypted chats among left-leaning activists, organizers routinely flag posts by Sullivan to new members, saying, “Don’t trust that guy” and, pointing to his past ties with the Proud Boys, “He’s a double agent.”

He still got a pass.

He still got a pass.

Last I heard he was under house arrest and was writing a book.

Right. Sure thing. He was supposed to be under house arrest when he started the fight on capitol grounds.

John Sullivan is one of the organizers of the rally. He’s with the Black Fist Coalition and Insurgents USA — two groups in support of Black Lives Matter that don’t typically protest with guns.

John Sullivan's brother is a Proud Boy. He reported his brother and a group of around 260 antifa/blm at the Capitol on Jan 6.

Right. Sure thing. He was supposed to be under house arrest when he started the fight on capitol grounds.

He was first released on bail. Then he violated the conditions of his parole. Because the narrative is that Jan 6 was a right wing insurrection.

Non-violent protesters associated with MAGA are still being held without bail.

LOL, house arrest.

I'm old enough to remember when the Republicans were the party of "law and order." Now, apparently, they're the party that believes that prosecuting felons is "tyranny."

It's entirely situational.
