Robert Sanford, a Chester, Pennsylvania retired firefighter was arrested on a list of charges for his involvement in the Washington D.C. insurrection
Sanford is accused of striking at least three Capitol police officers, including one with no helmet, with a fire extinguisher during the attempted coup
This is a different incident than the individual that struck Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who later died of his injuries, Sandford is not a suspect in that incident
Sanford was turned in to authorities by a friend after discussing his actions at the Capitol and telling them he was wanted for the assault on the officers
U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry S. Perkins denied bail based on the danger Sanford represents to the public, him being bussed for free to Washington D.C., and the discovery of white supremacist clothing in his home during a search
A retired Pennsylvania firefighter accused of hurling a fire extinguisher at U.S. Capitol Police officers during the attack in Washington last week is a danger to the public with suspected ties to white supremacists, a prosecutor said in court Thursday.
Robert Sanford, who retired from the Chester Fire Department in March, was arraigned in federal court in Allentown on charges that include assault of a police officer, disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, civil disorder and unlawfully entering the Capitol. He is being held in Lehigh County Jail.
Editor Note: Chicago Firefighter David Quintavalle was misidentified in social media as the man wanted for the fire extinguisher attack, and also misattributed to be responsible for the death of Brian D. Sicknick. We state in the strongest terms that Firefighter Quintavalle was not involved in any way in the insurrection. Malcontent News never reported at any time that Quintavalle was a supsect or a person of interest.
‘BLM activist’ John Sullivan has become a central figure of right-wing conspiracy that he is the mastermind of the insurrection
On Thursday, John Sullivan, aka Jayden Sullivan, aka Activist John aka Activist X, was arrested for his involvement in the insurrection in the Capitol.. John Sullivan is the brother of James Sullivan, a Proud Boy. A dive into John’s background paints a complex picture of someone who is not a criminal mastermind with the plan to organize thousands to overthrow the government. John appears to be a nihilistic narcissist who hungers for attention.
We looked at the research done by Rebellion Baby and Max Blumenthal. Is he a supporter of Black Lives Matter, a Proud Boy double-agent, a grifter, a cop, a purveyor of protest porn, or just a pawn in a tug-of-war for accountability?
UPDATE: John Sullivan was released from custody with no bail requirement on Friday. In another strange twist in the journey of John Sullivan, Rudy Giuliani tweeted out about a text conversation he has with James Sullivan about using John as blame for the insurrection and blaming Antifa. Although the phone number is blacked out, it has been authenticated by third parties.
Rudy Giuliani accidentally tweeted part of a text convo w/John Sullivan’s pro-Trump brother, James, who says he’s working with the FBI to blame Antifa for the riot and makes a reference to “Kash” that might be SecDef chief of staff Kash Patel. This story keeps getting stranger. https://t.co/1egyF800Fspic.twitter.com/gHgc44H8xc

Insurrection update – Donald Trump is impeached for the second time, more arrests, and Parler videos scraped form the security breach show what was going on inside the Capitol during the attempted coup
WARNING – tonight’s show contains graphic content that some people may find disturbing
When Nate Gowdy started his photographic journey in 2015, he couldn’t imagine where his documentation of the rise of President Donald Trump would end. With the exception of 1876, what is normally only a footnote in American history, the Congressional certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election turned into a blood-splattered reverse coup. Gowdy and his battered Leica camera were there.

“I went to Washington D.C. because I’m working on a long-term project documenting the Presidential politics in the age of Trump,” Gowdy said. “I’ve covered more than 300 events across 23 states and this is the conclusion, the final narrative for my book.“
Gowdy arrived at 9:30 AM to document the events of Trump’s “Save America” rally and the planned protests. As Gowdy was heading to document Trump’s speech, he saw something that caught his eye. “There was a contingent of Proud Boys militiamen I caught walking toward the Capitol in the A.M. when the National Mall was empty and barren because everyone was at Trump’s morning address.“
“I came across them on my way there marching in the opposite direction. Basically, they marched to a crowd of no one, chanting, “fuck Antifa.” I was there and maybe another photographer. They were threatening me and I said I was media for Rolling Stone. Plenty of them seemed to assume I was ‘Antifa.” I was kind of in the middle of their crowd and they were getting really hostile. So I started keeping my distance and they marched to the Capitol.“
With thousands of protesters marching the two miles toward the Capitol, Gowdy witnessed the advanced groups of Proud Boys preparing to attack the barricades. He witnessed advanced planning, coordination, and people carrying ladders, and other items meant to storm the Capitol.

As the main assault started Gowdy saw human wave attacks against overwhelmed lines of police officers. “When you get into the epicenter of the Inaugural Stage there is a five-foot wall and a lot of barriers before the wall. What they would do is lean the barriers up against the wall and use [them] as a ladder.“
“While they were getting pepper sprayed, those people would fall back and recover while a new wave of people would push in. They were just kind of, ‘Come on! Come on! Come on, we need you to do this! Keep up and hold the line!” [They] were pushing in and they were successful.“

As the situation plunged into full-scale insurrection, Gowdy kept shooting pictures until 8:30 PM, when he finally called it a day.
“I’m still processing what I saw. I mean the U.S. Capitol being overwhelmed by an anti-democracy protest of a mob of people who were egged on by their ring leader, President Trump.”
Gowdy is returning to Washington D.C. for Joe Biden’s inauguration to complete his work on his book. You can see more of his work shortly in Rolling Stone magazine.
