How are BLM and Antifa germane to 1/6? None of those arrested have been identified as members of either group.
FALSE.
Quote:
"A man who proclaimed to be a journalist and supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement was convicted Thursday on all charges against him in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
John Earle Sullivan, a 29-year-old from Utah also known as "Jayden X," was convicted of seven counts after just a few hours of deliberation by the jury. Federal prosecutors requested that Sullivan be taken into custody until his sentencing, and U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ordered him remanded, according to court records.
The charges included felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder.
But the government said that shooting video was just a "ploy" for Sullivan, and played video after video of him urging on the mob on Jan. 6.
“I’m gonna side with anyone who is ready to rip this s--- down,” Sullivan said in one quote cited by prosecutors. “I brought my megaphone to instigate s---,” he said in another video, adding that he wanted to “make those Trump supporters f--- s--- up."
Cool. You have one supporter, maybe. How many thousand people were there? One is statistically negligible, unless you are simply trying to prove some silly semantic point.
A man who previously held himself out as a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement went to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 with the "goal of inciting the crowd," a federal prosecutor told jurors in closing arguments at his trial Wednesday.

IN the Capitol on Jan 6th? I've only ever seen about 40, at the most.
You guys are those who keep calling the Jan.6th event an insurrection and call anyone who participated in it guilty of a crime when only a small number of them were guilty of a crime compared to those who weren't. No so-called MAGA's are downplaying the violence of those who committed it. I have often said that the latter should be punished to but you by your own words seem to want the peaceful ones prosecuted to.
No just the ones who entered the capital building. Not the peaceful protestors outside. If they entered the capital building they broke the law.
It has NEVER been proven that there were "thousands" of protestors in the Capitol building.
Look at that picture closely. The police (or responding LEOs) vastly outnumber the protestors. You can identify which is which by looking at their helmets.
Additionally, that is NOT a photo of "thousands" of protestors.
Try again.
Lets back up a bit. The capital building has 1.5 million square feet. It has 540 rooms. Its huge. Looking at one picture and not seeing 2000 in one room means nothing. The Justice Department estimates 2000-2500 entered the capital building. And you estimate 40. I think the Justice Department is more likely to accurate.
