Known capitol riot leader spent one day in jail while 80 others languish in ‘DC Gulag’

But unlike some 80 other individuals who have been imprisoned for up to 300 days for storming the Capitol, Sullivan has been allowed to go home to Utah while awaiting a trial date on eight criminal counts. One of the protesters who has been in jail the longest, Kenneth Harrelson, is accused of pushing into the capitol behind a mob. He stayed inside 18 minutes, walking around and taking photographs, and has not been accused of any violence in court documents reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

In contrast, Sullivan carried a knife into the capitol and offered to use it, broke a window, and ordered officers to leave their posts where he would soon film Babbitt getting shot.

“He was head of a group Insurgence USA, which sounds like Antifa and Black Lives Matter,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told the Washington Examiner. “John Sullivan is a professional rioter, and he is actually being treated really well in the two-tiered justice system in America. Democrats are not going to punish their own, which is why he is walking around free.”
