Far-Right Extremists Are Hoping to Turn the George Floyd Protests Into a New Civil War
Armed extremists are showing up to protests and urging a “boogaloo” — code for civil war — online.

Far-right extremists are showing up, with guns, to the protests against police brutality that have exploded across the country.
Others are egging on the violence from behind their computers, urging followers to carry out acts of violence against black protesters with the goal of sparking a “race war.”
Their presence makes an uneasy addition to the escalating unrest, which was triggered by the death of George Floyd, a black man who was choked to death by a white Minneapolis police officer earlier this week.
But there’s a range of motivations that’s driving far-right interest toward the protests, which are being led by community members and Black Lives Matter, and bolstered by antifascists.
For example, the so-called Boogaloo Bois — a group of armed anti-government extremists made visible by their Hawaiian shirts — have reportedly shown up to some of the protests.
READ: The cop who kneeled on George Floyd's neck was just charged with murder
The “boogaloo” is code for impending civil war or violent confrontation with law enforcement, and that’s what they’re hoping to get out of the protests. Their main reason for being there is their antipathy toward law enforcement, and so they’re trying to position themselves as allies of Black Lives Matter protesters. They’ve made police brutality one of their central issues, which was explored at length in a Bellingcat article this week.
Their approach to police brutality links the victims of the deadly standoff with federal agents at Ruby Ridge in 1992, to the victims of modern police brutality, including Floyd. But unlike the vast majority of protesters, they refuse to acknowledge the fact that police brutality is an issue that disproportionately impacts people of color.
There have been scattered reports of Boogaloo Bois’ presence at the protests, which were compiled by a Bellingcat investigative journalist in a thread. He includes an audio clip (stripped of video per activists’ requests) of protesters saying they’d wrestled a handgun from a “white nationalist” agitator — whom he describes as a Boogaloo Boi who became overly rowdy.

Another photo, shared across private Boogaloo Facebook pages, showed one of their own unfurling their trademark flag during the Minneapolis protests.
And one protester posted a picture of himself wearing a gas mask to Instagram, under the hashtag #Boogaloo.
While some Boogaloo Bois say they’re just libertarians, others will, on occasion, veer into racism — and make no secret of their desire for violence. In addition to their physical presence at the protests, the #boogaloo hashtag on social media has been flooded with memes in the last couple days egging on violence, and talking about how they hope this is the beginning of a civil war.
While more established militia types sometimes share those perspectives, they often view themselves as intermediaries between law enforcement and civilians. For example, two armed white men were interviewed by the Minnesota Reformer, a local independent news organization, outside a tobacco store in Minneapolis this week. They said they were protecting businesses from looters, but were also there to defend civilians should they need to.
“Cops are less likely to tread on people’s rights when there’s other armed people around them,” one of the men told the interviewer.
Local activists identified another group in Minneapolis as members of the III% militia, one of the largest militia networks in the U.S.
But perhaps the most troubling of all are the hardcore “accelerationists” who are encouraging their neo-Nazi followers to go to the protests and carry out acts of violence against black people — all with the goal of “exacerbating the ethnic tensions” and sparking a “race war.”
Accelerationists promote violence to speed up the collapse of society. An eco-fascist Telegram channel wrote to its nearly 2,500 subscribers on Thursday that “a riot would be the perfect place to commit a murder.” Accelerationists often seek to exploit moments of political or civil unrest, and the widespread protests that have unfolded across the country fit the bill. Similarly, 4chan is full of racists cheering the violence and saying that they hope it’s the beginning of a “race war.”

Looks like more activities tonight.
Cincy PD just used gas on a crowd in front of Cincy PD HQ. Things are a bit quiet now but it didn't pick up until after midnight last night. Lots of Cincy PD with the old PR-24s to dole out some hickory shampoo and some of the police carrying actual AR/M4 rifles.
I'm seeing there's stuff going on in Miami and Salt Lake City tonight too. No idea on extent. Chicago ramped up today.

US Secret Service police vehicles vandalized outside White House
From CNN’s Jeremy Diamond
CNN
A US Secret Service police vehicle outside the White House has been vandalized by protesters with graffiti, seen in video shot by CNN.
CNN’s camera captured video of one protester spraying words disparaging the President. That vehicle's front windshield has also been broken. A second Secret Service vehicle next to it has also been sprayed.
Several protesters are standing on top of Secret Service vehicles positioned in front of the police line on Pennsylvania Ave.
CNN has reached out to the Secret Service for comment.
Ohio governor activates National Guard, calls in State Highway Patrol to assist with protests in Columbus
From CNN’s Taylor Romine
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine speaks at a news conference in Columbus, Ohio on May, 30. WBNS
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced during a Saturday news conference that he is activating the National Guard to help protect citizens in response to protests across the state.
DeWine is also asking State Highway Patrol to help law enforcement in Columbus at the request of Mayor Andrew Ginther and Maj. Gen. John Harris of the Ohio National Guard.
Sadly there is a relatively small number of violent individuals who pose a specific threat and a real threat to our law enforcement officers and the safety of people in Columbus and Franklin County," DeWine said.The governor said that although the vast majority of protesters just want to be heard, they are being drowned out by the violence of a smaller group of people. DeWine said he decided to activate the National Guard to "drive out hate and violence, and to instill order."
