According to charge papers, Sullivan claimed to be an activist and journalist who videotaped demonstrations and riots, but he also stated that he has no press credentials and that the inquiry has not discovered any relationship between Sullivan and any journalistic groups.
He and the crowd eventually get to the Speakers Lobby's closed doors, where he watches Ashli Babbitt attempting to climb through a shattered glass before being shot by a police officer.
