Police: Hell's Angel sparked Minneapolis riots over Floyd

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Police say a man captured on surveillance video breaking windows at a south Minneapolis auto parts store in the days after George Floyd’s death is a Hell’s Angels member who was bent on stirring up social unrest.

Dubbed “Umbrella Man” for an all-black getup that included hood, gas mask and black umbrella, police say the man’s actions soon led to an arson fire that was the first of several that transformed peaceful protests into chaos.

“This was the first fire that set off a string of fires and looting throughout the precinct and the rest of the city,” Minneapolis police arson investigator Erika Christensen wrote in a search warrant affidavit this week, the Star Tribune reported.

Police identified the 32-year-old suspect through an emailed tip last week, Christensen said.

2. I'm trying to collect links reporting these things.

I think it’s a great collection to be able to pull out of my phone.

So any links re outside agitators please send my way.

[malaise]

3. Oh Yes

You should start an OP

[LakeArenal]

5. I will when I have enough.

[Mersky]

Will send such stories to you.

FBI chief Chris Wray has called them extremist and anarchist, but under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee (July 2019) he's had to tell the truth: that the FBI “considers antifa more of an ideology than an organization.”

4. Every video of this type of act that I've seen at BLM protests across the country,was a white guy.

There were several white women setting cars on fire as well.

6. A little sympathy for the devil.

Stones concert back in the day when the Hells Angels were the security.

9. I would bet anything that some of this has been directed from the White House...

...and my apologies to those DUers who sniff at "conspiracy theories". But everything we know both of history, and the Legion of the Undead now running our country, makes this plausible. Remember Cointelpro? And that was the relatively civilized 1960s. (Yes--by the standards of today's GOP, Hoover and Nixon were "civilized".) Agent provocateurs are as old as history...

10. Agent provocateurs are effectively working for the Right Wing Media

They might as well be working for Fox News and the rest of the rw propaganda machine so they can then go and demonize the left, and other people, and build support for hostile actions against such groups.
