Feds Arrested Three Connected to Boogaloo at Nevada Protests

[Hank77]

Federal prosecutors in Las Vegas have charged three men alleged to be members of the far-right extremist "Boogaloo" movement with multiple state and federal violations of conspiracy to cause destruction during protests in Las Vegas, as well as possession of Molotov cocktails.
...
The "Boogaloo" movement, which federal prosecutors describe as a "term used by extremists to signify a coming civil war and/or collapse of society," has been linked to some online posts about protests over the death of George Floyd.
...
Nicholas Trutanich, the U.S. attorney for Nevada, said, "Violent instigators have hijacked peaceful protests and demonstrations across the country, including Nevada, exploiting the real and legitimate outrage over Mr. Floyd's death for their own radical agendas."
...
The documents say Lynam is an Army reservist, Parshall was in the Navy and Loomis was in the Air Force.
...
NBC News reported last weekend that members of the "Boogaloo" movement were seen at protests in states including Minnesota and Texas, as well as in Philadelphia.

Molotov cocktails were used in other cities to start fires, I wonder how many fires were started by these types of groups rather than people actually protesting police brutality.

This just goes to show just because you try to ignore racists doesn't mean they disappear.

Interesting! And then there’s the auto zone guy:

He smashes the windows and then leaves the protest?

Boogaloos aren't necessarily racist, they hate the government and want to start a civil war to overturn the government.

Keep an eye out for their uniform of choice, Hawaiian shirts. I spotted a Hawaiian shirt in one of the many protest videos.

That one is very interesting. I wish the person with the camera could have followed him a little longer.
