The U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Minnesota on Friday announced that the FBI brought charges against a member of the far-right Boogaloo Bois group for organizing and participating in an effort to incite a riot outside a Minneapolis police precinct in May amid protests against the police killing of George Floyd.

According to the legal complaint filed Monday, Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, who claims to be a member of the Boogaloo Bois, communicated with fellow members in late May ahead of a planned trip to Minneapolis as police had already started clashing with protesters in the city.

The documents claim that federal agents obtained a video from the evening of May 28 showing an individual walking up to the door of the Third Precinct in Minneapolis and firing 13 rounds from what appears to be an AK-47 style semiautomatic rifle.

Federal officials said the shooter can be seen in the footage walking up to the camera and high-fiving other individuals before shouting Justice for Floyd!

In the hours that followed, the police building was overrun by demonstrators and severely damaged by fire.

The federal affidavit includes screenshots from the referenced footage, in which the individual can be seen wearing a skull mask covering the lower half of his face, glasses, a baseball cap and tactical gear.

Federal officials wrote in the complaint that another individual charged in connection with the incident who is cooperating with authorities said Hunter was the one who fired shots outside the precinct, which authorities later corroborated with several social media posts.

Upon returning to Texas, Hunter made several posts about the event and on May 30, Hunter reportedly sent a message to another individual stating, "I set fire to that precinct with the black community," followed by "Minneapolis third precinct, according to the legal documents.

On May 31, Hunter sent a message to another individual, saying, "My mom would call the fbi if she knew what I do and at the level I'm at w[ith] it."

Federal authorities launched investigations into the Boogaloo Bois in late May, and in early June the Austin Police Department conducted a traffic stop and Hunter, who was in the vehicle, had six loaded magazines for an AK-47 style assault rifle affixed to a tactical vest he was wearing.

Because theyre stunted children who like to pretend their entire life is just for the lulz. Theyre the result of growing up on 4chan and never escaping until it becomes their entire personality.

Remember when all the alt right troll accounts (which are now mostly banned) claimed it was ANTIFA?

xD

fucking idiots

so the far right is being violent and framing the protestors?

I'm not that shocked.

I have been saying this from the start all these protests where things get violent the violence is instigated by far right white nationalists. Especially the Portland protests they were peaceful until the far right white nationalist agitators show up and make things violent. Every person I know who has participated in the BLM protests has been a college educated liberal who was just exercising their right for peaceful protests they are some of the most non violent people around wouldn't even hurt a fly.

No, yeah, those of us with brains have known this since May.

I mean not the *SPECIFIC* group - but we knew the "riots" were bullshit.

Which sucks because at this point its impossible to swing the narrative and change peoples minds so they know who is actually responsible.

interesting that the people who are quick to go "wait for all the facts" on police brutality yet quickly denounce any sort of violence at protests are silent on this

Im sure the Target that was looted the night before was done by far right extremists too lol.

And rodeo drive, and the cnn building, and chop zone (I could go on longer). All products of right wing militia violence.

Also, 3 months ago yall were cheering it on. What happened?
