Boogaloo Bois' member charged in connection to shooting at Minneapolis police station during George Floyd protests

Quote:
Federal prosecutors charged a far-right extremist in connection with a shooting at a Minneapolis police station during protests sparked by George Floyd's killing, authorities said Friday.

Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old apparent member of the “Boogaloo Bois," was charged with one count of rioting after his arrest Wednesday in San Antonio, according to a statement by federal prosecutors based in Minneapolis.

Federal agents say they have seen tape that allegedly shows Hunter firing "13 rounds from an AK-47 style semiautomatic rifle into the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct building" on the night of May 28, according to a statement by federal prosecutors.

"At the time of the shooting there were other individuals believed to be looters still inside the building," the statement said. "Law enforcement recovered from the scene discharged rifle casings consistent with an AK-47 style firearm."

Things are getting ugly in this country and people are choosing to hide their heads in the sand about it.

Charges: Boogaloo Bois fired on Minneapolis police precinct, shouted 'Justice for Floyd'

Quote:
Hunter had bragged about his role in the Minneapolis riots on Facebook, publicly proclaiming, “I helped the community burn down that police station” and “I didn’t’ protest peacefully Dude ... Want something to change? Start risking felonies for what is good.”

“The BLM protesters in Minneapolis loved me [sic] fireteam and I,” he wrote on June 11. According to the complaint, “fire team” is a reference to a group he started with Carrillo “that responds with violence if the police try to take their guns away.”

“Hunter also referred to himself as a ‘terrorist,’ ” the complaint states.

Not seeing the "far right" here..."Floyd" riots, BLM, attacking\burning police stations seem more "left" than "right" actions.

Hunter describes himself as a boogaloo so I am not sure what the confusion is Bric?

Your comment "Floyd" riots, BLM, attacking\burning police stations seem more "left" than "right" actions" doesn't change that point.

Boogaloos aren't there to support the protests, they're there to escalate the violence so the police respond with more force.

To define identifying as a boogaloo
Adherents use boogaloo, including variations so as to avoid social media crackdowns, to refer to violent uprisings against the federal government or left-wing political opponents, often anticipated to follow government confiscation of firearms. The movement consists of pro-gun, anti-government groups.

Hunter fits the bill....

What are we suppose to do? America is quickly turning into a dumpster fire. I don't care for either side to be honest. The Democrats and Republicans are both to blame. And anyone on here that defends either side are just useful idiots.
