Black Lives Matter Activist Who Stormed Capitol on Jan. 6 Arrested, Charged

The Black Lives Matter activist who was seen storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was arrested and charged, the Department of Justice said Thursday.

A newly released court filing says John Earle Sullivan, 26, told FBI agents last week that he was at the Capitol when the breach happened. He said he entered through a window that had been broken out. He also said he was present when Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot dead by a U.S. Capitol Police officer as she tried to climb into the House Speaker’s Lobby through a window.

Sullivan showed agents some of the footage he captured inside the building, which he and others entered illegally.

Videos showed Sullivan and others breaking through a barricade, with the Utah man shouting: “There are so many people. Let’s go. This [Expletive] is ours! [Expletive] yeah,” “We accomplished this [expletive]. We did this together. [Expletive] yeah! We are all a part of this history. Let’s burn this [Expletive] down.”

He was later heard encouraging protesters to climb a wall to get to an entrance to the Capitol and was seen entering the building.

During one conversation with others while inside, Sullivan said, “We gotta get this [expletive] burned.” At other times, he said, among other things, “it’s our house [expletive]” and “we are getting this [expletive].”

Matters not to the SNL fools and their viewers.

They support whatever Arec Barrwin tells them to do.

For the FBI, yes.

This is the only one with BLM and Antifa associations.

Trump must have given one helluva inciteful speech to get BLM to do his bidding.

Shouldn't this nullify President Trumps (second bogus) impeachment? Doesn't this make Pelosi's "rush to judgement" look even more Moonbatty than what we thought? Doesn't this change how we look at groups like BLM and Antifa?

....Inquiring minds want to know...

I’m not saying some alt-right people weren’t involved on January 6th, but I seriously doubt that this guy was the only Antifa/BLM guy there.

[DoughtyOne]

I suspect they were shamed into it.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Nah cant be, I was told over and over again that everyone at the rally were all right wing white supremacists and stuff gee no wonder the Dems were so quick to go with impeachment yesterday, they knew this info would come out..and how stupid are those GOP dumb asses that voted for impeachment, how stupid do they look today

[ethical]

Sullivan did their dirty work at the Capital, the same kind of rioting he has been doing as BLM and Antifa for 8 months. He was arrested and released a day after the march. Now arrested again. Are they done with him ? He served his purpose and then could not resist bragging about it. Will he die in custody?

This is so much me and you!

The most suspicious aspect of this whole things is how few police and security people were on site. Veteran DC visitors have commented that the security presence seemed below levels even for an ordinary, non-demonstration day.

Even though Trump rallies are typically peaceful (unless disrupted by hecklers), the fact of such a large crowd protesting an allegedly stolen election might presumably be in an angry mood, and would be likely to attract counter-protesters, raising the possibility of skirmishes.

And if it's also true that the FBI had advance warning of troublemakers showing up, the miniscule security presence is extraordinarily suspicious. You don't have to be a conspiracy-minded person to ask why this happened, and to wonder if forces within government were hoping for trouble, maybe even contributing to it in some manner, in order to discredit Trump and his movement.

Sullivan is the guy here in Utah (Provo) that organized a protest & took it into a busy intersection. One SUV drove through the small crowd & Sullivan pulled a gun & shot at the car as it went by. Not much happened to him. It seems leftists usually get away with crime.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

If he ever faces a DC jury, good luck getting 12 guilty votes.

Sullivan never jumped or crouched down. Nor did his hands shake. Neither did he swerve back around to get a better shot of the man. The blue hoodie guy by Sullivan said someone tapped him on the shoulder to let the woman first.

Only a couple of people fell back, one of those being the guy who changed clothes.

Oh yes. How did Sullivan know right where to go? Floor plans?

[combat_boots]

No

Just watched “Special Report” on Fox.

They mentioned in depth several Trump supporters who were arrested, but, for some reason, failed to mention this guy. Also went out of their way to say that there’s no evidence of BLM being involved.

FAIR AND BALANCED.

It looks like the House is going to have to vitiate that impeachment now, huh?
