'Umbrella Man' went viral breaking windows at a Minneapolis protest. He was a white supremacist trying to spark violence, police say.

Another sighting of the rare, endangered White Supremecist!

Do Do Birds and Sasquatch everywhere are saddened.

Never in my life have I ever seen the media try so hard to defend ANTIFA..gee if only they gave the benefit of the doubt to the Tea Party, remember that..how they called us every name in the book, never once defended them

This guy is incredible.

He's been in Minneapolis, Kansas City, Cleveland, Portland, Seattle, L.A., all in the span of just a few hours in some cases.

Just amazing....

This is apparently based on a single, anonymous, second-hand tip.

I consider it to be propaganda until confirmed.

That was convenient to tie him to some unknown group and push the whitey hates blacks narrative...

Name him, arrest him.

But don’t try to blame all the violence on him.

Peaceful people don’t turn to riot because one ugly actor breaks windows.

I hope the HAs find this article highly offensive and deal with the Chronicle. I’ll make extra popcorn.

This “riots were started by White Supremacists” is a Fake News taking point. Probably straight from the Biden campaign. We’ve be hearing it all the way to November.

Umbrella Man is a feature of JFK assassination conspiracy theories. He must be 110 years old by now.

Can’t we come up with some original material?

But apparently, he is an excellent leader — he was a white guy who somehow led an entire peaceful protest to turn into a looting mob of violence.

“Hells Angels, a motorcycle gang made up of mostly white men who ride Harley-Davidson bikes. Christensen soon discovered that “Umbrella Man” is also a “known associate” of the Aryan Cowboys, a white supremacist prison gang based mainly out of Minnesota and Kentucky”

Translation: he’s a government agent provocateur/informant.

As you note, the democrats, and the media, have a very racist view of black people as being incapable of resisting temptation.

So the authorities who know the identity of Umbrella Man decided to make his identity known in national media so as to make him easier to bring to justice? B-—S-—.

Antifa are the ones who are using umbrellas as a means to hide from cameras.

That’s not the purpose of the umbrellas. The face masks and helmets are there for that purpose. The umbrellas are used to prevent pepper spray and they make excellent point force application weapons for breaking windows. The will also stop a certain amount of falling debris.
