FBI adds LA protester to its ‘Most Wanted’ list for damaging government vehicles (www.independent.co.uk)

The unidentified demonstrator allegedly threw rocks at law enforcement and damaged government vehicles, the FBI said.

As tense anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles enter their fourth day, federal officers have ramped up law enforcement’s response – and have added one protester to the FBI’s ‘Most Wanted list.’

The unidentified demonstrator has been accused of assaulting a federal officer and damaging government property during Saturday’s protest in Paramount, a city 30 miles south of Los Angeles.

The suspect allegedly threw rocks at law enforcement on Alondra Boulevard around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, “injuring a federal officer and damaging government vehicles,” according to the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. It was not immediately clear whether the officer was injured or the extent of the damage.

Given that most of the people arrested for violence during the George Floyd protests turned out to be right winger accelerationists ... It's not exactly a stretch

[–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My dude, they were arresting random people and charging everyone with assault, obstruction, etc. Of the over 14000 people arrested at the end of June 2020 you really believe the majority were right wing accelerationists?

Jacob Fagundo, Timothy O'Donnell, James Massey and Lamar Taylor were all right wing accelerationists?

The random people they picked up had charges dropped after the arrest. I'm talking about the actual convictions.

My dude

Also, learn what the word most means. Finding a could other examples doesn't make me wrong.

You're right, you are the one making bold claims and so the burden of proof is on you. You got any?

Hope that rock you've been living under is comfy. My claims are not bold. They're quite well documented.

AP finds most arrested in protests aren’t leftist radicals

This one burnt down a police precinct during a BLM protest, trying to pin it on them

Boogaloo boys spotted at dozens of BLM protests as aggitators

Did you read your sources? They don't say what you think they do.

From the AP article you linked:

Of more than 300 arrested, there are about 286 defendants ___ Some of those facing charges undoubtedly share far-left and anti-government views. Far-right protesters also have been arrested and charged. ___ But many have had no previous run-ins with the law and no apparent ties to antifa, the umbrella term for leftist militant groups that Trump has said he wants to declare a terrorist organization.

In the classic misguided "journalistic neutrality" it does put additional emphasis on the 6 instances of "far-right extremism" a incidence rate of 2.1%. Do you believe that 2.1% is a majority?

From the guardian article:

Hunter would later post multiple messages on Facebook bragging of his actions in Minneapolis on the night of 28 May and morning of 29 May, writing, “I set fire to that precinct with the Black community,” and, “My mom would call the FBI if she knew.”

“I’ve burned police stations with Black Panthers in Minneapolis,” he claimed in one message, and in another, “The BLM protesters in Minneapolis loved me.”

He wasn't a lone actor trying to pin it on them, he was participating in an action with them.

From the KansasCity article:

While Kansas City police haven’t made any arrests in the May 30 arson incident and say they haven’t seen direct evidence of extremists trying to disrupt the local protests,

Tere are so many agendas at play that it’s hard to tell who’s on what side. In some cases, they say they’re seeing a bizarre alignment between those on the far right, such as militias and the Boogalooers, and Black Lives Matter advocates protesting the death of George Floyd, with anger at police and the government being the common thread.

Which if you stopped to read for a second you would understand why the boogaloo boys specifically had real skin in the game with the protests against police brutality and why they wear Hawaiian shirts bearing the names of people killed in confrontations with police.
