SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – A Utah activist is facing charges for his alleged involvement in the deadly U.S. Capitol protest last week.

The Tooele County Sheriff’s Office tells ABC4’s Jason Nguyen that John Sullivan has been booked into their custody under a U.S. Marshall’s warrant.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Sullivan has been charged with entering a restricted building or grounds without authority; civil disorders; and violent entry or disorderly conduct.

The criminal complaint filed against Sullivan lists him as the “leader of an organization called Insurgence USA through which he organizes protests.”

1. It's all fun and games

Until someone goes and tries to overthrow the government.

2. If these guys weren't so stupid the damage would have been even worse.

5. Yep.

Or better organized. Not for lack of trying by Trump and his minions.

7. Trump doesn't hire people smarter than he is.

4. He is the one "antifa"

they found. His photo is prominent on a number of "conservative" websites looking for a scapegoat. The report that he was urging the crowd on and recording it - not that they needed any urging.

6. I think that's the guy I was reading about on Twitter who Portland activists warned months ago

seemed to be a plant.... and of course, grifter. He was spotted at far right events, and his brother is far right.

Edited to add this twitter link with a bunch of posts from Nov. 26 about him. (I only know how to link it and copy and paste.)

We have reason to believe that a likely infiltrator/agent provocateur by the name of John Sullivan, or “Activist John,” is attempting to insert himself in the Seattle protest community.

8. "An-Tee-Fa" is all they bleat, constantly. This guy is a plant.

"Antifa", as a movement, isn't an attention hog like this guy.

9. Is this the guy

Who videoed the cop being crushed in the door?

10. He's the one with the roughly 40ish min video leading up to Babbit being shot. /nt
