But did they also carry a gun?
No.
Tune in or Tune out…its your (Collective) Choice. I don’t watch.
ANTIFA?
For the linked article:
Prosecutors say Baker, a former airborne infantryman with reported ties to a foreign terrorist group, planned to violently confront protesters at the Capitol on Sunday, the same day the FBI warned of violence at all 50 state capitols.
Good to see the FBI (aka Deep state) is doing their job.

Black Lives Matter activist John Sullivan has been arrested and charged with federal crimes after attending the riot at the U.S. Capitol last week.
According to an official affidavit released by the Department of Justice Thursday evening, Sullivan had a knife and dressed in body armor. He told others who breached the building that they should start a fire and burn the building down.
“Sullivan stated that he was at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, when scores of individuals entered it. Sullivan stated he was wearing a ballistic vest and gas mask while there. He showed the interviewing agent the ballistic vest. He further stated that he entered the U.S. Capitol with others through a window that had been broken out. Sullivan stated he followed the crowd as the crowd pushed past U.S. Capitol Police and followed the crowd into the U.S. Capitol,” the affidavit states. “Sullivan further stated that he had been present at the shooting of a woman within the U.S. Capitol by a U.S. Capitol Police officer and that he had filmed the incident.”

“After the crowd broke through the last barricade, and as Sullivan and the others approach the Capitol Building, Sullivan can be heard in the video saying at various points: ‘There are so many people. Let’s go. This ■■■■ is ours! Fck yeah,’ “We accomplished this ■■■■■ We did this together. Fck yeah! We are all a part of this history,’ and ‘Let’s burn this ■■■■ down,’” the affidavit continues.
Last summer, Sullivan organized a BLM protest with other leftist groups, including a local ANITFA chapter. The event became violent and one person was shot. He was arrested at the time.
From Deseret News:
One of the organizers of a protest in Provo that resulted in a motorist being shot was arrested on Thursday.
John Earle Sullivan, 25, of Sandy, was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of rioting, making a threat of violence and criminal mischief.
and honk their horns to show support for law enforcement.
Another group planned a counterprotest at the same time and place. On Facebook, its event page was originally titled End Police Brutality but was later changed to Marching for Racial Equality. The Facebook pages listed the event’s hosts as the groups Insurgence, Solidarity for Justice, Salt Lake Equal Rights Movement and the Salt Lake Antifascist Coalition.
“As a protest organizer John Sullivan is heard and seen as he is promoting protesters to block roadways, keeping motorists from traveling lawfully and freely.”
Sullivan was also captured on video threatening to beat a woman in an SUV, according to the affidavit, and then kicking her door, leaving a dent.
Sullivan was seen with Jesse Taggart — the man charged with shooting the motorist — throughout the protest, the affidavit states.
“As a protest organizer, John Sullivan is heard talking about seeing the shooting, looking at the gun and seeing smoke coming from it. John did not condemn the attempted murder nor attempt to stop it nor aide in its investigation by police.”
"John did not condemn the attempted murder nor attempt to stop it nor aide in its investigation by police.”

Filter bypass in the title of the link.
Because they’re idiots?
And BLM Utah has disavowed him…but of course they’re lying and BLM was part of a False Flag trying to make Trump supporters look bad.
Ignoring of course that Sullivan was kicked out groups related to BLM long for egregious behavior long before the Capitol riots took place (you can find social media threads detailing this that began in November).

In case people want to learn more about John Sullivan in this latest right wing attempt to implicate BLM in the Capitol riot, one can go to this story detailing more about what I said:
Key messages:
*Sullivan was kicked out of BLM protests months ago because of bad behavior
*The aforementioned Twitter thread which warns about him is linked here
*He has more and closer ties to right wing groups than left wing groups.
*All these things took place before the Capitol riot and are documented before the Capitol riot, so cannot be seen as a BLM attempt to scrub any connections after the fact.
Once again we see that instead of just owning what happened, members of the Party of Personal Responsibility once again are attempting to blame others.

Didn’t the Proud Boys disavow their white supremacist?

Needs government or group backing for that one. Professional agitator is a better fit.
I hope the rhetoric doesn’t result in a huge mob containing a person beating a cop with a pole with an American flag while breaking into the US capitol in order to kill the speaker and hang the VP so they can overturn a valid election and illegally install the president they want.
That would be bad.

By himself he could kill more people than 1/6 in less than 30 seconds.
You are right. Imagine if there were tens of thousands of him and the president encouraged them.
Two…
Ah the gravy Seals are back.
Ya mean like when Trump disavowed the white supremacists in Charlottesville? Ok…we’ll make that the precedent. Using that as the standard…he’s BLM member…period.

That’s a good point. It really doesn’t matter if BLM claims him or not, the fact that he claims he supports them is all that matters.
