Gun-toting members of the Boogaloo movement are showing up at protests
CNN-LOL ^ | 4 June 2020 | Robert Kuznia, Drew Griffin and Curt Devine

Posted on 06/04/2020 5:14:04 AM PDT by Magnatron

Benjamin Ryan Teeter was at his home in Hampstead, N.C., when the call to action came. It was an alert from the heart of the raging protests in Minneapolis, posted on an online forum by a fellow member of the Boogaloo movement, a loosely knit group of heavily armed, anti-government extremists.

The "alert" was from a man who had a run-in with the Minneapolis police while on the frontline of the police-brutality protests set off by the death of George Floyd. "He caught mace to the face," said Teeter, and "put out a national notice to our network."

After Teeter -- who goes by Ryan -- said he saw the online posting, he and a handful of other Boogaloo friends in the area mobilized. They grabbed their guns -- mostly assault rifles -- hopped into their vehicles, and made the 18-hour trek to Minneapolis.

The Boogaloos are an emerging incarnation of extremism that seems to defy easy categorization. They are yet another confounding factor in the ongoing effort among local, state and federal officials to puzzle out the political sympathies of the agitators showing up to the mostly peaceful George Floyd rallies who have destroyed property, looted businesses, or -- in the case of the Boogaloos who descended on Minneapolis -- walked around the streets with assault rifles.

Boogaloo members appear to hold conflicting ideological views with some identifying as anarchists and others rejecting formal titles. Some pockets of the group have espoused white supremacy while others reject it. But they have at least two things in common: an affinity for toting around guns in public and a "boogaloo" rallying cry, which is commonly viewed as code for another US civil war.

John Brown Society is the armed paramilitary arm of the Antifa. Don’t underestimate them, they continually train in weapons and tactics.... mostly west coast based....
The guy who tried to blow up the ICE facility out in the West coast was a member and a legend and a martyr for them.....
The Bugoloo group? Don’t know them... but is not surprising there are other offshoots....

Boogaloo has membership?

When the balloon goes up, membership will become universal- on one side or the other.

d. The Hawaiian shirt thing is a tongue-in-cheek dress code because of many permutations of the phrase “boogaloo”.

That may be true but in warm weather wearing a Hawaiian shirt makes conceal carry easy. Just sayin.

There is nothing new about them....but some name used for deception... Far right is used as means of deception. Nobody credible would ever call socialism an ideology of the ‘right’. Notice how hard these liars work to affix lying accusations to the right. The left never admits they are godless ghouls, whose only ability to cover their self destructive mind, is to paint the right as ‘white supremacists’.

How surreal is it to have admitted socialists, Bernie Sanders, and his crowd call the ‘right’ Nazis? It is a lie, and to this day from my youth, I never understood what the draw was, of the masses, listening to that small man Hitler ramble and rant, on and on. One must go back to that treaty of Versailles, to even get an inkling of how the many were seduced by the promises of a lunatic..

This nation has allowed Marxism, to be the theology that reigns over education, and we are reaping what has been planted. Our 4 pillars of civilization, politics, economy, education, last but not least, religion have been corrupted. The devil is in the details..

So the boogaloo guy they interview is an anarchist who identifies as part of LGBT community and supports revolution but the same article refers to boogaloo as a right wing movement.

It really just sounds like another bunch of anarchist wannabees who actually had enough money to buy guns.

All part of the plan to splinter the solid Trump support.

VERY obvious and predictable. It’s one more of Liberals’ many summary moves in the Soros planned and funded, client war on America.

Does any one ELSE get as tired and disgusted as I am with how the MSM fails to see this for what it is?

Sounds like the Boogaloos are simply a well-armed bunch of useful idiots for the hard left.

Back off Boogaloo

And somehow they meet in the middle.
Make no mistake, there are groups who want CWII and have been training for it. The Soy Boys as we call them have learned to shoot.
And then there’s “Redneck Revolt is an anti-capitalist, anti-racist and anti-fascist group that uses direct action tactics”
Change is a-coming for sure.

CNN bird whistle - “call to action”
There’s not enough mayhem, not enough blood. People are tuning out.
And worse, people are resisting - not the police, they’re resisting the looters. Protecting their lives, families, and property - with arms.
The riot is losing support, losing steam, losing the public’s attention.
Time to escalate...

You’re full of crap. There is no “Boogaloo movement.” It’s a media / Deep State caricature of patriot militia. The term Boogaloo was invented as a joke, gallows humor about a 2nd civil war.

Bullcrap. Ask: Who benefits? The riots benefit the Left and totalitarians.
