RECAP: Mayor Stoney and Chief Smith address last night’s riot (Richmond - white supremacists march with BLM banner?)

**SNIP**

Chief Smith took the podium and immediately addressed the planned Monroe Park profanity-laced flyer circulating on social media. He said that the flyer was provoking ‘intimidation’ and was “clearly from outside of Richmond.”

**SNIP**

Smith continued to discuss the riots that led to a dump trick being set on fire - and said he will bluntly refer to those who took park as “rioters.”

Six individuals were arrested for Unlawful Assembly throughout the course of the night.

Smith said that officers were assaulted with bricks and batteries - and thanked Richmond Fire Department for their swiftness in tending to multiple fires that were started across the city by rioters. He said three of the fires were started at RPD HQ.

Chief Smith continued by thanking the leadership of Black Lives Matter - and says they did not participate in the violence that happened Saturday night that saw police encounter rioters until around 2:30 a.m.

He also said that the groups that took part were clearly there to incite violence - and says he believes ANTIFA took part in the protest.

Listing the ‘Boogaloo Boys’ as one of the groups present, Chief Smith says a majority of the individuals in the riots were Caucasian.

“White supremacists were marching under the banner of Black Lives Matter,” Chief Smith said. “I would like to give a thanks to Black Lives Matter - it was not them. They shared the fliers and had concerns. It was not them and they told their members not to come. This group came to bring violence to the city and that is not us.”

Mayor Levar Stoney then took to the podium after Chief Smith’s statements.

“Here in Richmond, our standard for protests is all protesters walk away safe. That’s not what happened last night,” Stoney said.

The Mayor is a lying POS!

“White Supremacists” are ANTIFA. That’s why they walked with BLM and initiated violence.

The press lies again.

The only people I remember using the term “Boogaloo” was blacks in the late 1960s and 1970s who said they were going into town to “Boogaloo all weekend long!”

Neo-Nazis are National socialists. They figure after Marxists get centralized power, the Neos will take over the socialist power structure from “the right.”

I followed them around the Internet for a year to see what they are about, socially and politically.

The Mayor and the police chief are running cover for BLM and are obsequious in the complements to BLM.

I have no doubt that BLM inc. is stepping back from the riotous behavior. They started this riotous behavior, and now can afford to sit back and blame whitey. Antifaschiste, the communists who fought against the brown shirts in the 1930’s. Both want the fascist oppression, just from different sides of the same fascist fence. Pssst, the political left is the home of both fascism and communism....

You started out really well then went completely off the rails.

No, we must be COMPLETELY SELF SUFFICIENT IN EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING.

You cannot be a partial nationalist. You have to be ALL IN.

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.

Excerpted: More at the link below & become totally confused!
