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.
Charging documents say Stephen T. Parshall, aka "Kiwi," 35; Andrew Lynam, 23; and William L. Loomis, 40, all of Las Vegas, were arrested Saturday on a state criminal complaint alleging conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism, material support for committing an act of terrorism and multiple explosives violations. The plot was foiled with help from an informant, authorities said.
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.
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.
The movement, which says it wants a second civil war organized around the word "boogaloo," includes groups on mainstream internet platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Reddit, as well as fringe websites including 4chan, according to a report released Tuesday night by the Network Contagion Research Institute, an independent nonprofit organization of scientists and engineers that tracks and reports on misinformation and hate speech across social media.

Do these people have any freakin idea how stupid they sound?
My bet is that this is utter derp bullshit, joyfully trumpeted by the enemedia.
I call BS on this report. The Left has put the word out to blame Boogaloo instead of Soros/Antifa/Occupy/BLM. Transparently: more projection.
WTH is BOOGALOO? They wear HAWAIIAN SHIRTS???LOL!! THIS sounds like a SET-UP to give the RIOTING BLACKS ANOTHER CHANCE TO CHEER!

When the govt comes after you watch out.
They might claim that me posting this is aiding the conspiracy.
Wow. Three.
Just as our TV screens are filled night after night with nationwide, coordinated scenes of ACTUAL left-wing mob violence, right out in the open, law enforcement arrests three “right-wingers” for PLANNING to do something. What’s wrong with this picture?
My leftist friends consider me a right-wing nut job and I’ve never heard of them. So I went to Wikipedia (something I almost never do). Boy, talk about a head scratcher.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that Boogaloo is a George Soros run operation.
Same thing that makes the "national socialist workers party" right wing.
All three of them???? Wow! I did not think there were that many.
Everyone knows the very best way to be a terrorist and blend in is to wear an Hawaiian shirt.
(How does the MSM even bring themselves to write such obvious crap.)
I just flashed back to 1974, man. Can you dig it?
CNN was talking about these clowns the first few days of the looting.
Enjoy it!.....................
You'd only gear up with the Boogaloo / Big Igloo / Big Luau / Flugaloo gear if you were ALL geared up.
These three saw some of the Boogaloo info during the Wuhanic Plague lockdown protests and went into these rioters as agitators.
If the media had any curiosity and did some investigative journalism they would have some credibility.
They now simply take the word of the police and third parties with an agenda. They don't question. They don't investigate.
J.J MacNab, a George Washington University fellow researching anti-government extremist groups, notes that it is not a cohesive group, and views differ on a range of other subjects, particularly racism and attitudes to law enforcement. Some groups have been described as a libertarian militia. Some boogaloo groups are also white supremacist and specifically believe that the "boogaloo" will be a race war, but there are others that condemn racism. Attempts by some elements of the Boogaloo movement to support anti-racist groups, such as Black Lives Matter, have been met with wariness and skepticism.
What a bunch of word salad. It's white supremacist and it supports black lives matter. It wants a civil war and the end of society and it supports law and order. Utter nonsense. The reason nobody has ever heard of these people is that they aren't real. Maybe a handful of nuts on the web that some academic painted into a something real to justify grant money but even he says it's not a cohesive group in that it has no common beliefs or an organization. So it's nothing. Well, not nothing. It's an excuse to label every nutcase they arrest as a far right extremist 'boogaloo' member because who can say otherwise?
