Three people, including a high-profile Northern California militia member, have been charged in an attack on a Black Lives Matter activist at his workplace, the Shasta County district attorney’s office announced this week.

Carlos Zapata, an outspoken member of the Cottonwood militia, has been charged with misdemeanor battery and disturbing the peace by fighting in connection with a May altercation with Nathan “Blaze” Pinkney, a BLM activist and budding comic.

Facing the same charges are Elizabeth Bailey, an associate of Zapata, and her boyfriend, Christopher Meagher.

Pinkney said he was relieved that charges had been filed, nearly two months after the incident took place.

1. "BLM" activist any African American who is in the news for any reason. It is used by the

conservatives to signal disapproval at the person the article/story is about. If they are an "activist," then they are BLM. Never mind if they are simply speaking for their own interests or purposes.

Edit add:

Exactly the same for, antifa, which = any white person not going along with the MAGAT ideas and goals. If you are in the news for opposing the fascists, then you are automatically, antifa.
