Archive card · not a photograph

James Herman Uptmore, known to people who know him as Sonny, is a San Antonio, Texas father. On January 6, 2021 he told his son not to go inside the Capitol. Then he followed him in anyway. That is the whole story in one line, and every parent reading this already understands it. THEIR ACCOUNT: the case file published for his son, Chance Anthony Uptmore, records it this way. James advised against going inside. Chance did not listen. James followed. A man does not leave his kid alone in a crowd like that. He goes where his kid goes.
