For those who want to believe that the Capitol Riot was entirely a "right wing thing", this might be of interest.

[box]BLACK Lives Matter activist John Sullivan was arrested by the FBI on January 14, due to his alleged involvement in the Capitol riots.
Sullivan's arrest comes as the FBI continues it crackdown on rioters who participated in the attempted Capitol siege to protest Joe Biden's presidential victory.
Who is BLM activist John Sullivan?
John Sullivan is an activist from Utah.
Sullivan allegedly uses aliases such as “Activist X,” “Activist John,” and “Jayden X."
He is the founder of Insurgence USA, a Utah-based group set up in 2020 to protest police brutality, with the goal of the "unification of our nation because a people united will never be divided."
Sullivan was arrested on January 14, and charged in federal court in the District of Columbia with civil disorder, being in a restricted area and disorderly conduct.
His name made headlines after he appeared on CNN to chat with Anderson Cooper regarding the video he captured of Ashli Babbitt being shot by Capitol police.
According to Max Blumenthal, an editor at The Grayzone, he claims Sullivan is best known among the left-wing crowd "for his propensity for inspiring chaos, engaging in counterproductive tactics that often trigger arrests, and consistently undermining BLM objectives.”
Why was he arrested by the FBI?
Sullivan was arrested by the FBI for his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol riots.
Now, before certain posters get their noses out of joint wailing about the validity of this claim -- I'm simply posting it here for discussion.
I had not heard, before today, of this John Sullivan, his alleged association with BLM, or his alleged part in the Capitol Riot.
Impartial, detached, objective policing and justice.

But only when the political elite feel personally threatened is any action taken. It's like how Seattle's mayor tolerated the "autonomous zone," even after these insurrectionists had started shooting and killing people that approached "their" territory, and only demanded that they be cleared out when some protested outside her mansion home. That was when they went too far.
I'm always still in trouble again

Got any sources for those incidents?

So you have a group that seizes government property, declares themselves to be a separate independent political entity with set boundaries which they enforced by force of arms. Sounds pretty much like an armed insurrection

Did you miss the whole Seattle thing, where they set up autonomous zones, tried to burn down the police station, and set up mob rule?
Portland Mayor "Time to take our city back"
Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone
We heard about those.
Look...... if folks now want to turn riots in to sieges, and violent mobs in to insurrections...... that's up to you
I asked a question........ about sieges and insurrections.
But if you took a survey in any any Brit street about insurrection 'ATTEMPTS' in America you'd get a big bundle of replies about 6th January.

When people start talking back loud, after a quiet question, you know there are 'sides'........

But .......'Patrolling armed guards with propensity to shoot....' look, in America, with 300 million guns all over the place, and open carry of long guns legal in some States, I wouldn't know which strutting nut was a traitor and which a lawful citizen, so please don't stop folks living in Europe asking simple questions, ok?

That sounds so much stronger than Insurrection...... you should have plonked 'armed' bin there in the first place.
Things is........ the day that you have a besieged city, or town, or village... in your country...... that'll be a siege.

Our last violent mob incident happened two days ago. An horrid group of 'insurrectionists' 'invaded' a huge stadium, attacked police officers injuring two....... over a football club's policies,
It's all in the way you tell 'em.

,...................
. Sounds pretty much like an armed insurrection
6th-11th August 2011.
The police shot Mark Duggan unlawfully.
.....ever heard anything like this?
Riots in London, W.Midlands, E.Midlands, Mersey, Yorkshire, Bristol, Manchester, and several other cities.
Pillaging, looting, assaults, murders, robberies, burglaries.
186 police injured,
2815 homes and businesses destroyed.
3000+ arrests,
Sieges to cities?
I don't think so.......

Our PM Cameron insisted that every second of CCTV and vid coverage of every attack, arson, burglary, robbery during those events was discovered, arrested and convicted 'with maximum sentences'...... and yet now I can't remember what year that was, only that Cameron was boss back then.
