I had another look round, and found this, which seems an interesting testimonial to John Eaves Sullivan:

Not so much left wing, more like a few miles to the north of the Speaker.

Eaves? Earle!

Interesting, thanks AskingQuestionsAllTheTime and NotaRealLawyer

From the Nov posts
n short — John’s brother, James, is the co-founder of a pro-Trump org called “Civilized Awakening,” and has strong ties to Proud Boys — even having spoken at a Proud Boy rally. The brothers’ polarized political stances conveniently bolster the other's public personas.

This is a scary read.

The rioters were one minute an 100ft away from capturing Pence.

So if the leftie is encouraging right-wing riots and helping his brother do right-wing stuff, does that make him a LINO?

Me too! Can't believe it's been nearly a year since I set foot in a pub Shock

NotaRealLawyer · 15/01/2021 15:43

I'm down a rabbit hole following that Twitter link Annie. It's like being in a pin ball machine. LINO, Schill, or just a very misunderstood chap.? Wink

No, but it might make him a poseur .

So Melania's pathetic Be Best campaign is finally drawing to a close.

Reaction was swift and merciless.

Or more likely your common-or-garden anarchist.

"What are you rebelling against?"
"What you got?"

to quote the classics.

OK, I've gone for it. No hurry to go over there but it's ready when we are!

Its okay cos of course as you seem to want to play it the left wing are good vs right wing who are evil right. Deny that there are left wing extremists and that there are no left wing peolle who incite violence else riot...

Oh wait what happened over summer with all that rioting...

I'm neither for either side

I just believe that its not one group or the other and even if there was just one thats been reported about (who knows how many others there were) at least I won't try and dismiss the one as never being left wing.

I mean funny how your jumping up to dismiss this person as a general anarchist right cos omg could never be left wing

Lol you guys make me laugh 😆

Roussette · 15/01/2021 16:16

Weird cycling because I said he should be arrested for inciting violence, perhaps you missed that bit.

But glad we make you laugh... we all need amusement in these awful covid times.

I've just had a right old laugh at DonJr who has obviously lost his marbles somewhat with a vid he's put out.

No, we are reading the links.

I don’t think ‘anarchist’ covers it. At best he is ‘troubled’. He has an account called ‘riotporn’. Either way he was there because Trump advertised a fight and he seems to like fights.

edition.cnn.com/2021/01/15/politics/capitol-capture-assassinate-elected-officials/index.html

This is an interesting article, giving more info about Jacob Anthony Chansley- he is the man who wore the headress and face paint.

Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government," government prosecutors wrote.

Chansley later told the FBI he did not mean the note as a threat but said the Vice President was a "child-trafficking traitor" and went on a long diatribe about Pence, Biden and other politicians as traitors.

They also said Chansley suffers from mental illness and is a regular drug user, according to prosecutors' detention memo.
