Boogaloo: The Real Violent Extremist Threat That’s Growing During Nationwide Protests

[Lakhota]

As Donald Trump warns of antifa, far-right extremists linked to the Boogaloo movement have been repeatedly charged with attacks.

President Donald Trump has warned repeatedly that antifa, a favorite bogeyman, is behind the violence during recent waves of protest. But while scant evidence supports Trump’s claims, another loosely organized movement has become a prominent sideshow at nationwide demonstrations and been linked with attacks and plots to create chaos.

Adherents of the far-right movement known as Boogaloo have shown up at various protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, attempting to use the demonstrations to further their own cause and in some cases carrying rifles.

Boogaloo devotees have also carried out violent attacks against police. This week, a California district attorney said that Steven Carrillo, charged with the ambush shooting death of a sheriff’s deputy in California’s Santa Cruz County on June 6, had ties to the Boogaloo. Carrillo had written some of its slogans in blood on the hood of a nearby car before his arrest. Authorities are reportedly looking into whether Carrillo was connected to the May 29 shooting death of a security officer at the federal building in Oakland, California ― a shooting that occurred during a large protest in that city over Floyd’s killing.

The Boogaloo movement is a somewhat amorphous anti-government community that under its umbrella includes militias, gun rights activists, libertarians and white supremacists. What they share is a core set of symbols, terms and ideology centered on the belief a second civil war is coming to the U.S., as well as a fervent opposition to the state that extends to law enforcement. Some in the Boogaloo movement have expressed admiration for Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, and David Koresh, the religious cult leader whose standoff with authorities led to a violent confrontation in Waco, Texas.

Multiple movement supporters have been charged with plotting mass violence or linked to violent assaults. Federal prosecutors in Nevada charged three men associated with Boogaloo with terrorism offenses last week, after authorities broke up a plot to cause mass violence and hijack a Black Lives Matter demonstration using Molotov cocktails and explosives.

From the OP:

At least 125 Boogaloo groups with tens of thousands of followers could be found on Facebook as of April, according to a review by advocacy group Tech Transparency Project. Facebook restricted the use of Boogaloo when used alongside violent images or calls to action on May 1, but experts say the movement simply shifted terminology and the policy has had little effect.

In the past week, Facebook announced additional steps to limit the growth of Boogaloo groups on the platform and that it would no longer recommend them to users with similar interests. But these groups are still largely out in plain view and available for public consumption, even if Facebook is no longer steering people directly to them.

I am deeply hurt. I really do like Electric Boogaloo the Movie. But if anyone loots, kills, destroys property they should be arrested and charged. I don't care about their political philosophy.

I am sure you feel the same way about the antifa folks.

What recent riot did the "Boogaloo" cause arson, looting, injuring of citizens and police? Are you claiming they just took over 6 blocks in Seattle, burned down Target, CVS and stormed a precinct in Minneaplois too?
If it's "Boogaloo" it's more a dance. You people are delerious and creating a fantasy group, like your utopia and farting flying unicorns.... If there is an anti-government movement I'm sure it's connected to Open Society Intitute.....

I think the huffpost is a joke, as are you for referrring to them. All over America, violent criminal activities have been going on, and the signatures are everywhere, left there by the criminals themselves. And the signatures are 3 simple letters >> BLM.

Dear Lakhota
Hossfly said it best.
The best defense against chaotic lawless disrespect for the laws
is to respect the laws in the first place! Duh!

That respect is what is missing from the Antifa movement.

You are like arguing isn't Marijuana "less addictive" than other drugs?
Well, once you rely on external substances to feed an addictive personality,
you are still not addressing the root problem of addiction.

So whether you have a minor addiction to cigarettes, or a worse addiction to heroin,
the common issue is the addictive personality that isn't getting resolved!

The problem that causes, is enabling an addictive personality
ATTRACTS more and more and WORSE problems over time.

In this case, unless the Antifa groups work WITH police and govt officials
to set up a LEGAL encampment, such as creating a cooperative campus
and investing resources into proper medical support, law enforcement
and community-based economy, this isn't sustainable.

Just "illegal seizure" without due process to confirm WHICH PEOPLE did WHICH wrongful abuses,
and WHICH people are OWED penalties or restitution for wrongs
is just another form of criminal abuse and violation. The property seized
is not just compensation for whatever wrongs the police committed.
That property belongs to taxpayers, and private home and business owners.

So there should be a DEMOCRATIC way to represent any transfer of
jurisdiction and ownership. There has to be legal due process to
confirm what violations occurred, what penalties or restitution is due,
and which parties owe which complainants.

That's the problem I have with the Antifa group unilaterally seizing
jurisdiction of property without democratic representation or consent
of taxpayers or property owners who invested in that area seized.

And once a group seizes jurisdiction over liberty or property without democratic consent or representation,
that is where this abuse of collective influence
INVITES the equally lawless reaction of other groups, similarly lacking respect for laws and due process.

This is why it is not the proper approach.

Lawlessness begets more.

This is why it is more consistent to uphold
laws in order to invoke authority of law.

Instead of violating laws, then expecting others to uphold them
instead of violating them. That's asking one thing while doing another.
That's why that doesn't hold up consistently,
compared to others who respect laws and end up predominating
for retaining that leverage to invoke authority of law!
