Facebook bans hundreds of accounts related to the Boogaloo extremist movement
CNN ^ | June 30, 2020 | Brian Fung

Facebook on Tuesday banned hundreds of accounts, groups and pages that it said were linked to the Boogaloo movement, a loosely organized extremist collective whose members have occasionally shown up armed to racial justice and anti-quarantine protests around the country.

The banned content includes a core set of 220 Facebook accounts, 95 accounts on Facebook-owned Instagram and dozens of pages and groups that Facebook, in a blog post, said posed a "credible threat" to public safety. Facebook said the accounts were "actively promoting violence against civilians, law enforcement, and government officials and institutions."

he was a famous trumpet player out Chicago way. He had a boogie sound that no one else could play. He was the top man at his craft, but then his number came up, and he was gone in the draft. no wait, sorry, that was the boogie woogie bugle boy, not boogaloo, nevermind.

Click the keyword “boogaloo” up there. The reference goes back to November last year on FR.

The only place I’ve ever seen the term “boogaloo” is in these leftwing attacks on it. Does it exist? I think if it really existed, we might have seen it appear before, at least in some comment.

They’re rolling up their failed attempt at PATCON 2.0 since they can’t incite anyone other than schizophrenics to do stupid things.

Fake accounts can be erased just the same as real ones. Once they are erased no one will know for sure.

“actively promoting violence against civilians, law enforcement, and government officials and institutions”

So that means they would also ban-
UFT
AFL-CIO
IBEW
UAW
DNC
Antifa
BLM
Nation of Islam
Extinction Rebellion
PETA
AOC
TLAIB
ILYANNA
OMAR
ELLISON . . . .

oops, ,my bad
those are all LEFT, FASCIST, SOCIALIST, people & organizations, so they get to stay.

“Boogaloo” is the result of some trolls testing to see if they could get groups like the ADL and SPLC to bite on a fake meme. It worked. In 2016 similar people got the Washington Post to report that they had been going into black neighborhoods with “weed and 40’s” on election days to suppress the black vote “with great success”.

Reporters and leftist activists at places like the three institutions I mentioned will believe anything as long as it intersects with their narrative of white people behaving badly. They are immune to parody.
