Well, that is a surprise. Unfortunately, they said that 40 arrests were linked to “white supremacist groups and organized crime”. Therefore that could be 2 white supremacists or 39 white supremacists.
And what were the nature of what they were doing? Were they looting, pretending to be violent protestors, or harassing the protestors?
Certainly something to look into when there is time for it…and book them for any crimes they committed.
Now, around the country, what is your guess as to what percentage of looters are white supremacists, really?
The riots and looting coincided with the protests over George Floyd. I do not see this action by the cop as something that would be a rallying cry for uprising by white supremacists. Nor do I see signs for white supremacy among the groups doing all this. I am willing to be surprised if a subsequent study shows otherwise, though.
I imagine that from the point of view of white supremacists, it is in their best interests to convince as many people as possible that black people are all savage rioters.
As I said, if it turns out there are large numbers of white supremacists behind this, presumably on the order of the Boston Tea Party, I am willing to be surprised.
The individual that posted the video has some credibility…IMO. I’ve observed his content for a couple of years now and he’s earned my confidence, therefore I posted it.
It was reported yesterday by a former FBI Administrator. He said that he had dealings with this group before.
And his sources in the FBI said that they were the central figures in the buildings being burned in Minneapolis.
Trump and Barr are doing the American people a dis-service by not being honest about the groups involved. The police chief has already said that they will review the arrest records of those involved and make a report. Maybe then Trump and Barr will have to come clean.
I found only one webpage that had anything about Wesley Somers. They claimed he was an antif terrorist, but I they didn’t give their source of information and, after the fake claims about “white supremacists” that had to be withdrawn, I would wait for something more official. No, I won’t give the website because that site gave no information on their source. I would just say make no judgements yet.
