With an umbrella in his left hand and a hammer in his right, the man in black lobbed his weapon so nonchalantly into an auto parts shop's windows that it surprised many others in Minneapolis marching nearby in a May 27 protest over George Floyd's death

This is BS.
Antifa are the ones who are using umbrellas as a means to hide from cameras.
He’s a prototype antifa agitator. Complete uniform down the respirator and an aversion to cameras. Casuals didn’t have that gear in June.
Agreed. I don’t really care who they are, what they are, or what they claim to believe in. If they’re rioting, they need to be arrested and prosecuted. End of story.
Why should we believe this tip?
The guy broke windows and then left.
“Until the actions of the person your affiant has been calling ‘Umbrella Man,’ the protests had been relatively peaceful,” she said. “The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension.”
The destruction quickly spread. The following morning, the Minneapolis Fire Department said they had responded to roughly 30 fires. One man was shot and killed in a pawnshop, while a second man was found dead and burned in another pawnshop.”
So...breaking windows led to arson, looting and murder. Remind me not to break windows in certain neighborhoods.
Oh, and I also call BS on the ID of this particular guy and on the hoax claims of the muslim who says the same guy accosted her in a small town on the Wisconsin border.
This textbook stuff. Umbrella man is no amateur. Antifa uses ostensibly legal objects for deniability before criminal activity. Umbrellas, skateboards as weapons, etc.
“...a white supremacist trying to spark violence...”
Well, they sure fell for it. Doesn’t say much for their discernment, self-control and decision making skills.
Bikers never go out without taking their umbrellas in case it rains.
It's so the Left and its Media consumers can create a fake "memory" that all violence and riots this summer was White Supremacy.
This is ACTUAL psychological manipulation by the Media and its handlers.
It will be discovered weeks or months from now that this is a lie - but the retraction will be in small print on the bottom of page 1500.
IOW, “Trump incites riots so he can declare martial law.”
Riiiight. But some will buy it as reinforcement to their TDS.
This is an agenda driven story. It may be true, may be partially true, some may believe it to be true, some may wish it to be true, or it may be false.
This should never be reported like this before it is confirmed.
I do not believe this.
Heck, the early reports of it being a Minneapolis cop make somewhat more sense.
Although I kinda think that if we ever learn the truth, it will turn out to be a Soros paid operative, an Agent Provocateur.
Erika I. Christensen, a Minneapolis police arson investigator who wrote the affidavit, now alleges that his “sole aim” was to provoke discord.

I'm a cop and I've met the next mass shooter
He's been bullied, no one cares about him and he knows how to take out his anger.

...I am a police officer. I have been one for 27 years, and I’ve been an arson investigator since 2007. Before that I investigated homicides and assaults.
I am a frequent letter-writer to the Star Tribune. Mostly they are about my political leanings (I am the rare “out” liberal in the department). But I have written about my job before, most notably about a long-ago homicide.

Yes, I find this highly doubtful because if they knew who he was they would have arrested him, he’s on camera committing crimes.
We have no idea who he is, couldn’t see his face, and can’t give you his name, where he lives or any other information about him, but we do know that he is a Hell’s Angel and White Supremacist who is a member of a mostly unknown prison gang. We have also determined that this small act, done in broad daylight with less than a dozen people present, was the trigger event for the rioting, looting and murder that happened hours and days later.
Seriously, was this piece written by Jussie Smollett? The only thing missing is a MAGA Hat.
Remember when this was going on, they tried to claim ALL the people arrested were from out of state? All of them were outsiders. Until the publicly available arrest records were disclosed that showed they were 95% LOCAL.
If he is unidentified, how do they know he is a member of one of those groups?.
Maybe Occams Razor is a better approach.
He’s faster than a speeding bullet. He’s Superman!
“Let’s put Trump 2020 bumper stickers on the rioters’ cars and watch them destroy each others’ rides.”
/sarc?
;o)
LMFAO!!!!!!This a-hole can’t be found because,he does not fit narrative. I call BS on this story.
Didnt take much to fire up the LOOTERS.
