Oh it doesn’t matter anyway...it was peaceful protests...just ax nadler et al....
That is the most ridiculous statement I have read in a long time. The fire at the AutoZone, regardless of who started it, had nothing to do with dozens of other fires started by other people in other locations. And the idea that the entire riot was driven by the actions of one white guy with an umbrella who walked away when the other rioters approached him is just ridiculous.
Anybody who watched the livestreams from Unicorn Riot and other reports could see the crowds of people rioting and starting fires. And guess what - they weren't doing it because of some secret signal from some supposed Hells Angels member.
If somebody actually did target the AutoZone specifically they probably did it for other reasons, like revenge or insurance fraud. But the rest of the riot wasn't about AutoZone.
NAPA for auto parts. Auto Zone for purple neon.
I see what you are saying, but this MC is more corporate now. They have an image and money making ventures that require that image. Also, they are a lot more careful in what they partake in.
One person? I highly doubt it. It seems more reasonable this individual is being used as a ruse.
Google Tim Kaine’s son. He’s a known agitator in Mpls.
I totally understand what you mean which is why in another thread I had this exchange
Persevero:”How can you identify a “member?” So they keep a roster or something?”
Lastchance: “They check the ABA membership rolls.”
Bottom line nobody made people burn and loot.
“Erika Christensen”
The “out Liberal” as she describes herself. Sure I trust her assessment.
He does not look like Umbrella Man. IMHO the Umbrella Man looks much thinner.
Where in the warrant application does she call herself a liberal?
It was not in the warrant. It was in a column she wrote. I think somebody posted a link to it here on FR.
But her claim that one man’s actions lead to a string of burning, looting, vandalism, and rioting is nonsense.
Found the article.

Sounds a lot like the unnamed DEMONCRAT whistleblowers that are never identified.
In a short time after the front windows are broken out in the Auto Zone, looting started. Within a short time after the looting started, the Auto Zone was set on fire. This was the first fire that set off a string of fires and looting throughout the precinct and the rest of the city.Until the actions of the person your affiant has been calling “Umbrella man,” the protests had been relatively peaceful. The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension.
The first fire didn't set off a string of fires, the rioters started multiple fires and the rioters looted the stores, the police station, and other locations around the city. At best the person the police are so busy chasing broke some windows according to the affiant. They are not even alleged to be the arsonist who set the building on fire.
The tension and hostility came from the death of George Floyd followed by the instigations and actions of multiple left wing activists.
Suggesting that a single supposed white supremacist was able to effectively control the actions of thousands of protestors, many who are people of color, by breaking a few windows and spray painting a slogan seems completely illogical. Unless of course the person making the declaration actually thinks white people have such super powers that they can cause thousands of people of color to do their bidding. That's ridiculous.
I wonder if the affiant also believes that the Black people speaking on megaphones to lead the protests were somehow under the spell of a single white supremacist who left hours earlier. That's past ridiculous into crazy.
That warrant is an embarrassment. Once again the “relatively peaceful” BS line takes center stage. The Autozone windows were smashed at 6:32 PM (I assume CDT). How is that late afternoon, early evening? I find it interesting that the informant made sure that what he/she told the investigators matched up with the accepted rumors. How convenient.
Who confirmed suspect was a full fledged member of Hells Angels. Is this even a thing?
Why has there not been mention of his prison record? I assume he has one since he is supposedly a member of a known prison gang.
As for resemblances in the facial features. Very weak. You could probably line up a dozen Larsens, Andersons, Gundersons, Jensens and find the same facial features.
He might be the guy. But I sure don’t see just cause for assuming so in the warrant.
Exactly right. At first they tried to make the Antifa guy a St Paul policeman.
My idea is that this guy is an employee of Antifa or FBI and maybe even of Obama himself put there to blame everything on the white supremacists.

The Boogaloo Bois Prepare for Civil War!
Story by Michael J. Mooney
As the FBI warns of violence, anti-government extremists are ready to get in on the chaos.
Let’s start with what boogaloo isn’t.
It isn’t, mainly, a white-supremacist organization, though there are some white-supremacist boogaloo bois.
It isn’t a collection of Trump supporters ready to fight for the president, like, say, the Proud Boys. Despite the various attacks—planned or carried out—against police officers and government officials, boogaloo also isn’t a militia in any traditional sense of the word. It isn’t even really a movement.
It’s more like an absurdist internet culture propagated by libertarian-leaning gun enthusiasts on 4chan—the anonymous, Wild West version of Reddit—that has somehow moved into the real world. It’s jargon and memes and jokes and a sometimes-serious desire to bring about a violent revolution to overthrow the U.S. government.
Like nearly everything about boogaloo, the ideas and terminology are simultaneously ridiculous and terrifying.
The term boogaloo, for example, can refer to the purveyors of this culture or to an event: a violent revolution some of them hope to hasten, dubbed Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo. The name itself is a takeoff on a pervasive internet joke, an allusion to a 1980s dance movie, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. (Take a moment to pity historians, centuries from now, as they try to understand how the name of a dance-movie sequel turned into the name of a proposed nationwide insurrection.)
JJ MacNab has studied anti-government extremist groups for more than 20 years. As a fellow with the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, she’s tracked the boogaloo bois online since last fall, when she saw an uptick in memes calling—in a jokey way—for a civil war.
