Governor Walz was right when he said there were right-wingers coming to Minneapolis to create mayhem. Minneapolis was attacked by the alt-right.

Feds say Ivan Harrison Hunter helped burn and loot the Third Precinct building as part of a coordinated attack from the far-right group trying to ignite an American civil war.

In the wake of protests following the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a member of the “Boogaloo Bois” opened fire on Minneapolis Police Third Precinct with an AK-47-style gun and screamed “Justice for Floyd” as he ran away, according to a federal complaint made public Friday.

A sworn affidavit by the FBI underlying the complaint reveals new details about a far-right anti-government group’s coordinated role in the violence that roiled through civil unrest over Floyd’s death while in police custody.

Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, is charged with one count of interstate travel to incite a riot for his alleged role in ramping up violence during the protests in Minneapolis on May 27 and 28. According to charges, Hunter, wearing a skull mask and tactical gear, shot 13 rounds at the south Minneapolis police headquarters while people were inside. He also looted and helped set the building ablaze, according to the complaint, which was filed Monday under seal.

Unrest flared throughout Minneapolis following Floyd’s death, which was captured on a bystander’s cellphone video, causing Gov. Tim Walz to activate the Minnesota National Guard. As police clashed with protesters, Hunter and other members of the Boogaloo Bois discussed in private Facebook messages their plans to travel to Minneapolis and rally at the Cub Foods across from the third precinct, according to federal court documents. One of the people Hunter coordinated with posted publicly to social media: “Lock and load boys. Boog flags are in the air, and the national network is going off,” the complaint states.

Two hours after the police precinct was set on fire, Hunter texted with another Boogaloo member in California, a man named Steven Carrillo.

“Go for police buildings,” Hunter told Carrillo, according to charging documents.

The complaint alleges that he fired several shots into the Minneapolis Police Third Precinct building. This photo was included with the sworn affidavit, filed by the FBI, that serves as the basis for the complaint.

“I did better lol,” he replied. A few hours earlier, Carrillo had killed a Federal Protective Services Officer in Oakland, Calif., according to criminal charges filed against him in California.

On June 1, Hunter asked Carrillo for money, explaining he needed to “be in the woods for a bit,” and Carrillo sent him $200 via a cash app.

Five days later, Carrillo shot and killed a sheriff’s deputy in Santa Cruz when authorities tried to arrest him, according to charges filed in California. Authorities say he then stole a car and wrote “Boog” on the hood “in what appeared to be his own blood.”

Brags on social media

A couple of days later, during police protests Austin, Texas, police pulled over a truck after seeing three men in tactical gear and carrying guns drive away in it. Hunter, in the front passenger seat, wore six loaded banana magazines for an AK-47-style assault rifle on his tactical vest, according federal authorities. The two other men had AR-15 magazines affixed to their vests. The officers found an AK-47-style rifle and two AR-15 rifles on the rear seat of the vehicle, a pistol next to the driver’s seat and another pistol in the center console.

Hunter denied he owned any of the weapons found in the vehicle. He did, according to the complaint, volunteer he was the leader of the Boogaloo Bois in South Texas and that he was present in Minneapolis when the Third Precinct was set on fire. Police seized the guns and let Hunter and the others go.

Hunter had bragged about his role in the Minneapolis riots on Facebook, publicly proclaiming, “I helped the community burn down that police station” and “I didn’t’ protest peacefully Dude ... Want something to change? Start risking felonies for what is good.”

“The BLM protesters in Minneapolis loved me [sic] fireteam and I,” he wrote on June 11. According to the complaint, “fire team” is a reference to a group he started with Carrillo “that responds with violence if the police try to take their guns away.”

“Hunter also referred to himself as a ‘terrorist,’?” the complaint states.

A confidential informant told police that Hunter planned to “go down shooting” if authorities closed in. He didn’t. They arrested him without incident in San Antonio, Texas this week and he made his first court appearance Thursday.

Hunter is the third member of the Boogaloo Bois, a loose-knit group intent on igniting a second American civil war, to be charged in Minneapolis as a result of the unrest that followed Floyd’s death.

Michael Robert Solomon and Benjamin Ryan Teeter were indicted in September with conspiracy to provide material support for a foreign terrorist organization.

1. K&R for exposure

Funny I didn't hear tRump mention the Boogaloo Boys last night when he was spewing his "pigs in a blanket" bullshit

[lostnfound]

2. That police station burning down was widely proclaimed to be leftwing / BLM protestors

Every channel that played that footage needs to replay it and discuss the implications of it being an act by a Boogaloo member, not the left.

Why did he do it?
Why were the police and TV so quick to blame the left and BLM?

[smirkymonkey]

3. K&R

I knew it! They are all such idiots.

[WyattKansas]

4. I think a hell of a lot more of this is going on by right wing extremism to stoke the country...

Into fighting a race war, instead of equal fair treatment for all.

And it is just insane and wrong for actual Law Enforcement to allow right wing extremist groups to carry around assault rifles/guns openly impersonating law enforcement. I don't give a damn if everyone of their officers are a member to those right wing groups, and if they are, then they need to be immediately terminated and replaced. And I am a middle aged white man who grew up in the country.

5. I cannot get beyond the fucking stupid name.

6. K&R

And he was buds with the NorCal Booga dude who shot the security guards.

Looking forward to more of these agitating infiltrator cockroaches coming to light.

7. It was anarchists and neo-nazis that caused the TC riots.

Head of private security company: Anarchists, extremists used 'sophisticated' tactics to escalate unrest in Twin Cities

"They were operating small cells, and they would move from one point to another point," Rozin said. "They would set up barricades, they would open fire, they will know how to control the cities in such a way that police almost become irrelevant to an extent. It was remarkable."

Trained former CIA, Special Forces etc were on the streets during the riots and they reported what they saw.


Watch the 2min 45sec clip.

10. That's an eye-opener

Which still begs the question of who they answer to and how they're funded.

[mysteryowl]

11. Seems to me the FBI should do deep cover within these groups to find out!!!

8. The activist on the ground told people what was happening:

9. How are these groups financed?

They travel all over, often have pickups and late model vehicles, they appear not to work. Money's coming from somewhere.

14. At what point do we stop calling these people "militias" and start calling them "terrorists"?

MAGA terrorism.

15. Aryan cowboys umbrella guy who smashed up the AutoZone windows

Perhaps the Aryan Cowboy rightwing jackasses were working with the Boogaloo Bois who are rightwing jackboot terrorists.

[link:https://www.wave3.com/2020/07/29/police-man-linked-white-supremacy-group-sparked-minneapolis-riots-over-floyd/|]

The search warrant says the man is a known associate of the Aryan Cowboys, a prison gang out of Minnesota and Kentucky. The tip claims he wanted to “sow discord and racial unrest,” WCCO reports.

Police have also linked him to a June incident in Stillwater, Minnesota, where a Muslim woman was harassed by a motorcycle club wearing Aryan Cowboy leather vests.

Posting this here so I can keep track of all the fascist terrorists who sowed unrest and violence in Minneapolis
