Full Headline: Texas member of Boogaloo Bois charged with opening fire on Minneapolis police precinct during protests over George Floyd

In the wake of protests following the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a member of the Boogaloo Bois opened fire on the 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 near the Third Precinct building, 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.

Apparently the right wing has their own "Hunter" problem!!!

We knew the right wing was deeply involved in the rioting in Minneapolis, good that the authorities are not ducking that reality.

They are false flag operators. I bet most of the violence was created by them and others like them.

I'm a Texan and I do love my state I just don't like the idiots who hang out here. I find, like this case, the damage gets done then the Antifa Protesters get blamed and after all is said and done the trump damage is done. trump has already use his media platform to smear the innocent. Even though we knew it wasn't the protesters doing the damage the media, owned by a few billionaires, used these agitators to change the peoples perspective as to who is responsible for the damages. Now the idiot (trump) is going around spreading the billionaires propaganda of how dangerous Antifa is to our country. And Antifa is dangerous to our country, in their eyes, because they believe this country is only their country. In their eyes they own everything so this country is theirs and they are just allowing us to work for them...

The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov cocktails, or guns, pretending to be protesters.

And now Trumpsters pretending to be part of BLM protests.

I know that a lot of minds have been made up that the violent protesters were on the left, but maybe some keep up with the news.

10. He sent $200 to copkiller boogaLoo Steven Carrillo whose wife was an Airman who suicided In 2018

The wife Monika Carrillo had only been in the air force for about 8 months, and was working as an electronic warfare technician assigned to the 20th Component Maintenance Squadron at Shaw Airbase. They had two little kids but she supposedly committed suicide in a hotel room in May 2018.

Her assignment to Shaw happened in September 2017. In June 2017, 24-year old electronic warfare technician Cody Flick, assigned to the 20th Component Maintenance Squadron, died of an apparent suicide. Cody Flick called 911 before he died that evening.

In 2019, there were 5 deaths including 3 suicides of soldiers working at Shaw Airbase.

Move along nothing to see here.
