Mayor Stoney said what happened last night was “violence” which “takes us backwards,” and “unacceptable in the city of Richmond.” He called it “disgusting” that white supremacists were spearheading this event, with the intent of undermining the peaceful protesters and the work the community has been doing the past few months.

Mayor Stoney thanked BLM protesters who decried the white supremacists there last night, and said the city will bring justice to those who incited violence and destroyed property.

Police Chief Smith said he believes that “Antifa” – and those “influenced” by “Antifa” – was present last night, and that the police have identified “Boogaloo Boys” in attendance. He said the police are continuing to investigate and asked for the media to share their video footage with the police. Smith added that the “majority of those individuals who were there last night were caucasian.”

3. Still waiting for waiting for the mythical Antifa organization with a hierarchy to be

identified. Doesn't help to have the Chief of police pushing such propaganda.
