Photographer Allan Mestel has been making headlines lately for snitching on Adam Christian Johnson a.k.a. "Podium Guy." Johnson earned that moniker after he was seen walking through the Rotunda at the Capitol Building with Nancy Pelosi's lecter. Mestel has given several interviews in which he defends ratting on Johnson. In one interview he said that he instantly recognized him, could not forget his face, and could not forget Johnson's online attacks against liberals on social media. At one point Mestel said that he felt a patriotic need to report Johnson even though Mestel is Canadian. He also admitted to speaking with at least three FBI agents and giving them written statements.
Mestel isn't the only person that spread information hoping to get Johnson busted. The woman in the video below says that she shared pictures of him on social media hoping he would be "held accountable" but she did not claim to have communicated to the the police directly. Mestel was eventually arrested and released with an ankle monitor.
Mestel runs a website full of professional photos that he has taken at protests since last summer. We are always dumbfounded whenever we find someone that was so supportive of anti-police protests turn around and help the police. This unfortunately has been a growing trend as of late in which liberals think it is ok to rat on the right. They don't seem to realize that the political views of the person you tell on is irrelevant when answering the question, are you a rat? The answer in this case and every case when someone sends the FBI a tip about anybody is yes.
