Left-wing Activist Charged in Capitol Riot
Collapse

Who is John Sullivan?
For the past week, Sullivan’s presence in the Capitol, and his previous record of anti-Trump activism, has been the focus of frenzied attention in the right-wing media, where the baseless conspiracy theory that pro-Trump rioters were led into violence by left-wing antifascist agitators lives on.
At the same time, left-wing organizers have been keen to stress that they ejected Sullivan from their ranks months ago, accusing him of being either a right-wing infiltrator or a dangerously naive amateur.Last edited by firstfloor; 01-15-2021, 08:19 AM.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

I never excused violence. You characterization of my comments as excusing violence is simply false.
I did point out and speak against the excessive force being used by those officers, provoking more violence from the protestors. It was simply a fact. In point of fact - the heavy handed approach by the president against them, and as deployed in the BLM protests in DC stands in stark contrast and relief against the near complete absence of any law enforcement presence ahead of the 1/6 Trump supporter event - in spite of wide spread internet chatter about exactly what happened.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Jim, simply declaring something a fact does not make it a fact. It's your very biased view of what happened. Your hatred of Trump is, apparently, the prism through which you viewed such events - even as the rioters were trying to burn down the federal building and police station.

Maybe they, and perhaps you, should consider that the next time you want to defend an insurrection that would have put in place the sort of person that would have had no qualms at all about conducting such a massacre to protect himself.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

And it is massively ironic you demand I prove an accusation, since you are more than happy to make accusations against others while refusing to offer any sort of proof or justification, and defend others doing the same.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 01-15-2021, 08:53 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

Point: Nobody is saying this guy was a leader of the riot (a point they keep trying to argue against that nobody has made) It is just being pointed out that there was at least one leftwinger there agitating and inciting the rioters.
Try a little honesty for once - you might find a clear conscience refreshing.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

Your posts to me mostly consist of personal attacks - homilies I called them, against how evil the ox is. And that is exactly what they are.
What I cut was just another of your homilies. Being honest about content does require dishonest personal attacks be given additional publicity by repeating them in a reply.
You (and MM) cut substance - comments not addressed at you personally but text that justifies a point about a topic. Often so as to distort or corrupt the point made.
There is no hypocrisy involved, although the truth will not stop you from continuing to claim otherwise. That much we can all be sure of.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 01-15-2021, 09:39 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
