A Pennsylvania man was arrested after allegedly leaving a backpack full of Molotov cocktails in a bush outside protests in downtown Pittsburgh, authorities said on Saturday.

Matthew Michanowicz, 52, faces federal charges after he was captured on surveillance video placing the military-style backpack at PNC Plaza, according to a complaint by the U.S. District Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Authorities said Michanowicz visited the downtown area on a bike to observe the "aftermath" of the riots. They added that during questioning he allegedly admitted to being the person depicted in photographs from the video footage, but denied possessing the bag or knowing its contents.

can’t be Antifa - FakeNewsMSM say they’re great folks. AP Tucker has the obligatory ex-Obama guy in a new role say his thing too:

8 Jun: ABC7 Chicago: Antifa: what it is and is not
by Eric Tucker, Associated Press
(Mark Bray, a historian at Rutgers University and author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook”) said that although he believes people associated with antifa are participating in the demonstrations, it is difficult to determine how big of a role they’re playing since there is no membership uniform or calling card and since the movement lacks the numbers to mobilize nationwide in such a dramatic, forceful way...

Others have seen evidence of right-wing extremists...

7 Jun: NPR: Antifa Supporter On How People Misunderstand The Movement
NPR’s Lulu Garcia-Navarro asks Lacy MacAuley about her support for the Antifa movement, and how organized the movement is.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: Most antifa are anonymous. But the group Project Veritas filmed MacAuley in 2017, publicizing her name and contact information. She says she got death threats, that there was a mysterious fire at her home. And so for the past few years, to protect her family, she’s not spoken publicly. She says people misunderstand what antifa is.

MACAULEY: Antifascism is more like a set of practices and a philosophy than it is an organization. No, actually, we don’t have any kind of, like, big, giant hierarchy. It comes from your heart. It comes from your sense of justice. That’s real. That’s what’s real...

MACAULEY: I think that, you know, I’m not very interested in talking about looting or the smashing of windows compared to the actual loss of human life that black people are experiencing every single week, every single day in this country. I think that that’s what we need to keep focusing on...

MACAULEY: Antifascists actually protest quote-unquote “peacefully,” like, when it’s actually effective to do so...

An albino with black eyes and black heart.

He was hoping some rioters would use the bombs to kill others. This deserves the death penalty.

See today’s Greenfield column. The DAs were releasing lots of criminals because pandemic, who immediately became looters.

New York and California Freed Thousands of Criminals and the Riots Began
Free the criminals. Organize riots. Watch cities burn. Repeat.

"The devices were described as "spent OC vapor grenades" filled with an ignitable liquid and wicks that were held in place by what appeared to be "spray foam insulation," according to the complaint. (Department of Justice)"

The technology deserves study

ANTIFA liberal fascist working along side Black Lives Matter.

Cannon Fodder for the New Order of Barrack Obama.
