Prosecutors claim that a ‘boogaloo’ killed two cops. What’s a boogaloo?

The loosely organized far-right movement is associated with a distinctive look and discordant politics

Snips snips snips
On Tuesday, prosecutors linked Air Force Sgt. Steven Carrillo, who has been charged with murdering a Santa Cruz, Calif., sheriff and a federal protective officer, to the far-right boogaloo movement. Most Americans don’t have any familiarity with so-called boogaloos, who have gained notoriety for their role in the lockdown protests and protests following the killing of George Floyd. Here’s what you need to know.

Boogaloos love gun rights and the right to be left alone
The boogaloo movement is associated with a distinctive look and discordant politics. In April, boogaloos appeared at protests in Hawaiian shirts and light infantry attire accessorized with surfing and white-nationalist paraphernalia as well as semiautomatic rifles. Yet the boogaloos first appeared online.



Boogaloos value individualism and the freedom to be left alone. They and other right-wing extremists wield these values in defense of the Second Amendment and often in defense of racism.

Bullshit on the racism

They tend to be suspicious of both collective and public means of control, surveillance and policing. For boogaloos, the right to possess, use, discuss and parade with firearms is fundamental. Being seen in public with firearms is both a political performance of their First and Second Amendment rights and an expression of their personal identities.



The boogaloos started as an online movement — and that’s important
The fact that the boogaloos first formed online may help explain why they look, act and sound so different from traditional militias and other extremists. They are less an organized movement than an expression of a particular meme culture, which builds on a weapons and ammunition bulletin board on the 4chan social platform and icons from shooter video games such as Fallout and Call of Duty. In real life, they wear clothes and gear that mash together first responder, light infantry, surfer, hunter and weekend camping trip attire, and they often customize their weapons to express technical competence and individuality.

They don’t have a clear partisan base and often ridicule both parties and their leaders, including President Trump. Our research suggests that they come from diverse backgrounds and express a mixture of conservative, libertarian and nihilistic ideologies. Boogaloos counter accusations that they are white nationalists by avowing the Second Amendment rights of all and emphasizing the few boogaloos from minority communities.

The boogaloo movement has had links with pro-gun “patriot” militias. As recently as January, boogaloos marched with groups including the Three Percenters, the Sons of Liberty and the Oath Keepers to oppose gun-control legislation in Virginia.

While militias mostly oppose Black Lives Matter and support the current administration, boogaloos are split. On May 30, a boogaloo page with over 200,000 likes shared photos of its members protesting police brutality alongside BLM activists in Virginia


Now why would they do that.?..cause many of us have been raising the alarm over the militarization of the police for a long time now ....the proto boogaloo groups especially....
