Air Force sergeant tried to pin a murder on Black Lives Matter.

Air Force sergeant tried to pin a murder on Black Lives Matter. Instead he exposed the dangers of his “boogaloo” militia.

Steven Carrillo slid open the van door and readied his rifle, equipped with a silencer.

Carrillo, 32, a member of a far-right anti-government militia, aimed for two federal building guards in downtown Oakland. It was four days after George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis in May 2020. Carrillo hoped what he was about to do would be blamed on nearby Black Lives Matter protesters.

Carrillo pulled the trigger, firing 19 rounds from his AR-15-style rifle. One security officer fell, dying.

Days later, Carrillo, an active-duty U.S. Air Force sergeant, would also allegedly ambush and kill a Santa Cruz County sheriff’s deputy.

Long before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, before a Santa Ana federal judge suggested former President Donald Trump committed crimes while trying to stop the counting of electoral votes, and before five members of the men’s hate group the Proud Boys were indicted for seditious conspiracy, Carrillo and a group of men he met through Facebook allegedly plotted to provoke a civil war themselves.

for tea and crumpets.

I strongly suspect that this guy will end up as a greasy stain on the floor of the court-martial facility...

Then they can squirt cum all over the inside of their camo tactical pants - while gleefully unleashing their long contrived bang bang - shoot 'em up - Civil War #2. With puddles, pools, and rivers of Liberal blood coast to shining coast & seas.

Their paramount macho he man Fascist fetish & dream.
