Chicago authorities have arrested a man suspected of distributing explosive and incendiary devices both in Chicago and in Minneapolis, Minnesota during the recent demonstrations.

On Sunday, the Chicago Police Department apprehended 28-year-old Matthew Lee Rupert of Galesburg, Ill., and charged him with civil disorder, rioting, and possession of unregistered destructive devices, CBS News Chicago reported.

Rupert was arrested Sunday in Chicago after returning from Minneapolis where he handed out explosive and flammable devices to protesters and encouraging them to use them against the police, according to a video Rupert posted on Facebook.

He's being charged federally. Federal law, IIRC, provides for a mandatory 20-year sentence for using a "destructive device" (which would include explosives).

They ought to be facing charges of insurrection, with a prompt firing squad on being found guilty.

I saw a group of people protesting during the day and I noticed something—MOST OF THEM WERE DRESSED IN BLACK. Holy mackerel! Could this be ANTIFA bums passing themselves off as concerned citizens? Notice when you see a group of “peaceful protesters” during the day. I believe they do double duty—paid propagandists during the day and hell raisers at night.

Also with the designation of Antifa as terrorists (and there are old social media links showing that they met with ISIS in Europe in 2017), the Feds can examine all this guy’s electronic communications and financial records.
Thereby finding contacts and so forth.
