Trying to remember anyone asking you to contribute? Or particularly cares if you do or don't?

Funny story. I had a 3:00 dental appointment on the day of the riots. ABC had already interrupted my wife's regular scheduled programming to show the craziness going on outside the Capitol. At 3:02 the National Guard was called.
My dentist had Fox News on the television in my room. The sound was muted so I cannot vouch for the commentary but the video was apparently an endless loop of flags waving peacefully outside . It never changed while I was there. By the time I got home (10 Min), there was full-scale insurrection going on.

Here is my advice. When you hear something from either side, do your research. I have been doing it constantly and it becomes obvious what sources of information are reliable or not.

What this man did is criminal and should be prosecuted the same way as everyone else who entered the building. His video will be of great interest to law enforcement. Blaming him is nothing more than deflection though. In law, it's probably considered a "straw man" defense.

Now more Lehigh sports is coming upon us tomorrow. Enjoy that action.

So, should the guy have been arrested? Of course, he was there inside the capitol and shouldn't have been.
Are you dumb enough to think that if he hadn't been there and shouted whatever it's thought he shouted that it would have resulted in everyone staying outside peacefully waving flags? That was the point of the fact check. He isn't Antifa and his part in the riot was basically irrelevant and there was no influence by left-wing agitators to anyone's knowledge.

Sorry, I'll wait to be invited on all threads from now on. Who gets to ask for contributions?

Back to wrestling

Was Sullivan a leftist or just a pure Anarchist?

Like the Drunken Guy who at the meeting wherein The April 1970 Governance Strike was acclaimed. He wanted to escalate the situation by throwing something through a window. He got something and approached the window.

He was stopped by Dave Waters and Steve Shields

Thanks for correcting me. And here I thought the purpose of a fact check was to check specific alleged facts. I guess - like you say - I'm just dumb.

If any Lehigh Guy should be upset with the Trump era, it should be Jesse W Reno '81. That is 1881, he invented the escalator, or at least patented the first successful model.

stated on January 7, 2021 in a Facebook post:
Says left-wing activist John Sullivan “incited (the) insurgence of (the) US Capitol.”

The alleged facts were that this guy incited the insurgence. It was ruled as shown.

And the alleged people they quoted saying he wasn't were friends and business associates filming a documentary WITH him/about him......come on that is the most ridiculous fact check in history.....he basically did everything the article said ...the only difference is in what way he was yelling "lets burn this shit down"? I mean yeah, he whispers to myself quietly for only himself to hear...shhhhhh, let's burn this shit down he whispers.....lol

No one said he incited the whole riot, they said he was in part inciting the riot......quite a large difference there......and good lord who is going to say they are ANTIFA.......you think there are guys running around yelling "Me, me!! I'm a member of ANTIFA!!"...........fact checking lol
