More Evidence that White Nationalist Groups, Not Antifa, Are Responsible for Violence During Protests
In his public remarks, Bill Barr has blamed only one group—Antifa—for gun violence during protests. But the only arrests
for such violence have been of white nationalist “vigilantes” who show up to demonstrations dressed like para-military police. See Washington Post, “An officer was gunned down. The killer was a ‘boogaloo boy’ using nearby peaceful protests as cover, feds say.” (“The man,
identified as Air Force Staff Sgt. Steven Carrillo, 32, was an adherent of the “boogaloo boys,” a growing online extremist movement that has sought to use peaceful protests against police brutality to spread fringe views and ignite a race war.”)
What did Bill Barr say at his
What did Bill Barr say at his
press conference to announce the arrest of the “boogaloo boy” accused of killing a police officer? Nothing—because Barr did not hold a press conference announcing the charges against a white nationalist. Imagine the press conference Bill Barr would have held if a member of Antifa
had been arrested for killing an officer during the demonstrations following George Floyd’s murder.
And what did Bill Barr say about the white vigilante “civil guards” who showed up at a demonstration in Albuquerque armed to the teeth? Or about the fact that one extremist shot
And what did Bill Barr say about the white vigilante “civil guards” who showed up at a demonstration in Albuquerque armed to the teeth? Or about the fact that one extremist shot
a protestor? Nothing. The incident is especially disturbing because a vigilante group calling itself the “New Mexico Civil Guard” showed up to “police” the protest—but the actual police were nowhere to be found. Indeed, it took the real police twenty minutes to show up after a
protestor was shot. See The Guardian, “Armed vigilantes under scrutiny after statue protester shot in New Mexico.” David Correia, a University of New Mexico police violence researcher, said that
the ranks of these militias are populated with ex-cops and military. They
the ranks of these militias are populated with ex-cops and military. They
understand themselves as police, and police understand them as police.
Bill Barr doesn’t care about violence during demonstrations. He only cares about promoting the race-baiting conspiracy theory that Antifa is a threat to white America. If members of Antifa showed up in
Bill Barr doesn’t care about violence during demonstrations. He only cares about promoting the race-baiting conspiracy theory that Antifa is a threat to white America. If members of Antifa showed up in
para-military dress carrying assault rifles, Barr would send in FBI swat teams. Nor does Barr care that his hypocrisy is transparent. He is speaking only to Trump and his shrinking base. With each passing day, Barr cements his legacy as the worst Attorney General in the two-and-
a-half centuries of our nation’s history. With any luck, he will soon be out of office and the subject of multiple investigations for his role in Trump’s corrupt administration. @jimcramer @tomkeene @cnbcfastmoney @ScottWapnerCNBC @riskreversal @EpsilonTheory @Convertbond
