Is this the Umbrella guy???
This is the Minneapolis police arson investigator who wrote the affidavit and profiled the perp.
So’s the Democrat party.
The Afiant, Minneapolis cop, admits this is based on a anonymous email tip.
Exactly. They are all white supremacists. Go live fire.
And does it excuse all of those black on black murders that have occurred before and since?
All this proves is that extreme anti government types are willing to let philosophical differences slide when the chance for real destruction comes about. Remember extremists may have different reasons why they want to see a system brought down but they rely on the same methods. Why is this a shock to some. It is not called instigation it is called alliance.
If the man is Antifa or BLM he has an excellent legal case against The San Francisco Chronicle. That would be most amusing.
The big meanie took advantage of the childlike innocent of the trusting BLM and their allies. Shocked by umbrella man’s behavior they were swept away in overwrought emotion not understanding the consequences of their passion. Or something.
An unnamed tip from a friend of a friend. Andy Ngo debunked this in short order.
They have been trying to push this narrative for quite a while that Antifa violence is ‘always’ due to white supremist infiltrating their ‘peaceful’ ranks. Bull Sh*t as always.
Umbrella man has been sighted in 10 different cities simultaneously, breaking windows. He’s probably a time traveler.
“Let’s put Trump 2020 bumper stickers on the rioters’ cars and watch them destroy each others’ rides.”
You belong on the counter-insurgency team in Portland. LOL!
Meant to mention, that article says Umbrella Man is Mitchell Wesley Carlson.
Gov Walz (DFL-idiot) claimed the night of the Minneapolis riots that white supremacists and drug cartels were responsible. Need another annoymous tip to implicate the drug cartels

The news comes amid rising fears of right-wing agitators purposefully stoking violence at protests. Last month, federal prosecutors charged supporters of the right-wing “Boogaloo Boys” movement for incidents including killing of a security officer at a federal courthouse and plotting firebombs and explosives at a government building and peaceful protests - all with the aim of stoking racial conflict.
Theories that white supremacist groups may have been involved in the “Umbrella Man” case arose soon after video of him vandalizing the business began circulating widely on social media. Many falsely identified the man as a St. Paul police officer, causing the department to release surveillance footage showing the officer during the time of the protest.
Much of the suspicion around “Umbrella Man” came from his clandestine get-up - all black including a gas mask that covered most of his face - and his reaction to protesters confronting his vandalism. As he made is way along the building, breaking the glass one pane at a time, an African American man in a pink T-shirt and white shorts approached him, seemingly insisting he stop. But “Umbrella Man” pushed forward until more onlookers neared. He eventually turned around and went behind the building, but many in the crowd followed him, one even yelling out to ask if he was a cop.
One thing they have in common with Boogaloo Boys and Black Lives Matter is promoting race war. It would not be unprecedented for both types of groups to work together, or to be mutually influenced by third parties.

The Boogaloo Bois Prepare for Civil War!
Story by Michael J. Mooney
As the FBI warns of violence, anti-government extremists are ready to get in on the chaos.
Let’s start with what boogaloo isn’t.
It isn’t, mainly, a white-supremacist organization, though there are some white-supremacist boogaloo bois.
It isn’t a collection of Trump supporters ready to fight for the president, like, say, the Proud Boys. Despite the various attacks—planned or carried out—against police officers and government officials, boogaloo also isn’t a militia in any traditional sense of the word. It isn’t even really a movement.
It’s more like an absurdist internet culture propagated by libertarian-leaning gun enthusiasts on 4chan—the anonymous, Wild West version of Reddit—that has somehow moved into the real world. It’s jargon and memes and jokes and a sometimes-serious desire to bring about a violent revolution to overthrow the U.S. government.
Like nearly everything about boogaloo, the ideas and terminology are simultaneously ridiculous and terrifying.
The term boogaloo, for example, can refer to the purveyors of this culture or to an event: a violent revolution some of them hope to hasten, dubbed Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo. The name itself is a takeoff on a pervasive internet joke, an allusion to a 1980s dance movie, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. (Take a moment to pity historians, centuries from now, as they try to understand how the name of a dance-movie sequel turned into the name of a proposed nationwide insurrection.)
JJ MacNab has studied anti-government extremist groups for more than 20 years. As a fellow with the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, she’s tracked the boogaloo bois online since last fall, when she saw an uptick in memes calling—in a jokey way—for a civil war.
