Three men connected to 'boogaloo' movement tried to provoke violence at protests, feds say

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.

Why is it law enforcement and the DOJ can find every 'right-wing extremist, white supremacist, neo-nazi' who allegedly is going to firebomb a synagogue or shoot up a crowd but they can't find a single member of Antifa at an event causing trouble or infiltrate their social media network?

And if the 'boogaloo' movement is real wearing Hawaiian shirts at events is putting a target on your back.

Is this a false flag? Is this a set-up? These guys don't seem to get caught actually doing anything. They seem to get caught before they do something or are only "seen" at events.

Hawaiian shirt-clad radicals called Boogaloo were at Columbia protests, sheriff says

Many more Antifa on the street than “boogaloo”. Don’t expect NBC, owned by the vile Roberts family, to report accurately.

If only the media would focus even half the attention on Antifa as they do Boogaloo.

Gee, I wonder if that's a George Soros run operation.

The article says this right wing group wants a civil war and collapse of society. That sounds like anarchy. I don’t know any conservatives that want anarchy. Sounds exactly like ANTIFA though. What, exactly, makes these guys ‘right wing’? I’ve never heard of them or what they stand for or want.

Is it “hate speech” if the speaker hates white people?

Just curious....

100s of antifa members actually did “provoke violence at protests”

But hey, we got some old pro 2nd amendment white guys.

They need to dig in to Stephen T. Parshall, Andrew Lynam and
William L. Loomis’s background and see if they are actually right wing. I bet not.
