A group that has been planning since November to have armed rallies in Washington, D.C., as well as state capitols, intends to carry out its events Sunday, despite an unprecedented effort to secure the Capitol.

In the days since supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in a violent riot that left five dead, officials have installed a massive security apparatus around the complex, where President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in on January 20. The FBI warned law enforcement this week about a group calling for its supporters to come to Washington, D.C., and state capitols armed at their "personal discretion."

That particular call for armed protesters dates back to a November 24 posting on a website called Tree of Liberty, an online forum for members of the extremist anti-government Boogaloo movement. The online flyer posted that day noted that the "Armed march on Capitol Hill and all state capitols" was planned for January 17 and was intended to be peaceful, but encouraged participants to "come armed at your personal discretion." In a follow-up posted four days after rioters breached the Capitol — including some who prosecutors now say were intent on harming the Vice-President and other elected officials — the group wrote that its protest was in "pending status given the events that have taken place." But in an email to CBS News Friday, an administrator for the website wrote that the group now intends to carry on as planned. CBS News had reached out to an email address listed on the Tree of Liberty website as being the group's press contact.

"The 1/17 events will continue, and safeguards are in place to assure that nothing violent happens concerning the Boogaloo Boys. I cannot speak on behalf of the Proud Boys or MAGA people, and we made it clear that we'd rather not see them there," the press contact, who did not identify themselves, said. The Proud Boys are another group of far right supporters of President Trump.

1. Well they ain't having an armed rally in DC

Best not try

[Thekaspervote]

10. Oh no kidding! Lose, their guns, possibly their right to own guns, to vote, spill THEIR blood

They are spoiling for a fight...and really for what cause other than violence for the sake of violence. Great legacy

[Bluethroughu]

2. I bet he doesn't go.

He should be arrested anyway, inciting and organizing an attack on the government.

[Thekaspervote]

12. Armond bundy does come to mind. All about how they were there until the "end."

After two days they were cryin about not having any toilet paper..such a hard core solider

[Bluethroughu]

14. The problem with that whole takeover was

No Accountability. That made these psychos embolden to act like this.

[hadEnuf]

57. Absolutely correct.

I get that the government doesn't want to give these vermin a rallying cry like Waco or other tragedies, but thugs like this will not stop on their own. They need to be stopped. Brute might is the only this they get.

[Roy Rolling]

4. Plenty of Room

I’m sure the FBI already has accommodations for this moron, and plenty more for his moron friends.

[quaker bill]

5. Just one idiot

is all it takes. One MAGA idiot squeezes off a round or two, and things get very deadly really fast.

This is just stupid, but it could give a powerful premise for collecting up a bunch of paramilitary hardware from the general public.

We will see

[marie999]

27. It could just be some idiot with a round in the chamber, finger on the trigger,

and he stumbles, accidentally shooting off a round. Then we have total mayhem.

[quaker bill]

43. indeed

it could be accidental to start, and in a minute or two, very intentional.

[hadEnuf]

59. It looks like it's going to start either way. They want blood, period.

I'm afraid that we are past containment of these fascist extremists. I really hope I am wrong but we need to be concerned with defense at this point and then work on taking these monsters down and out.

A lot of good people have worked very hard to prevent something like this from happening but this is what the radical / Trump right wing wants. If they start it we will finish it.

6. Branding

The clever branding folks forget what the word boogaloo means to anyone fifty years and older. This is what plays in my head whenever I hear the word, and the chant goes up “back off boogaloo” in my brain.

[Harker]

8. Yes. Me, too.

And the joke about naming the fourth Alou brother.

[LeftInTX]

30. OMG - Forgot this song existed!

I think after it dropped off the charts, it kinda disappeared

[canuckledragger]

44. Reminds me of the idiots that started the whole 'teabagger' thing

Which had all of us that had watched 'Soul Plane' giggle our asses off anytime we saw them!

So ummm...what is teabagging? Well...

Skip ahead to 0:46 for the explaination...still annoyed that DU doesn't allow for posting a video link starting midway...

[MontanaMama]

7. Go ahead and have your rallies/tantrums.

LE, FBI the media will be there taking pictures and recording everything that is said/promised/threatened. You might be better off finding a rock to crawl under, however...your moment in the sun is over.

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Please do. I respectfully suggest that you "show your ass" also.

Please clash with "real bullet armed" NG. You might go down as "martyr's in your small circle, but you will go down in history as DEAD INSURGENTS/TERRORISTS.

[Thekaspervote]

13. ☝️☝️☝️☝️👏

[Jedi Guy]

56. Seriously?

You're hoping they start an armed conflict? You do realize that Guard personnel would be hurt or killed in this battle you're itching for, right? Is that okay as long as you get to chuckle over the bodies of dead Boogaloo Boys? You're hoping the Guard folks are put in the awful position of having to kill people? That's just vile.

Personally I hope the marches don't materialize, but if they do, I hope they're peaceful and that no one is injured. They have the right to express their views, as long as they do so peacefully and lawfully.

[Ferrets are Cool]

58. Seriously???

Must one put a sarcasm tag on EVERY farking post???


Ok, just for YOU.

[Jedi Guy]

61. Ah yes, sarcasm.

"I was being sarcastic" truly is the workhorse excuse often employed when one says something reprehensible and gets called on it. I don't believe for an instant you were being sarcastic. Nice try, though.

[MineralMan]

11. Seems very doubtful to me.

If I were them, I'd stay away this weekend. Armed people in DC are going to be arrested and charged. They will get nowhere near the Capitol.

[Botany]

15. The fighting dumb fucks of America ... the Boogaloo Bois

BTW Let 'em break out their "long guns" against real military, SWAT, and State Highway Patrol teams.

[dalton99a]

17. Proudly showing off their net worth

[DemoTex]

25. Big Glocks, little-bitty micro-weenies.

[Botany]

28. Mom's basement commandos fighting for their free-dumbs.

Can you imagine if that group of rag tag wanna be "fighters" turned out looking like
that in front of a real NCO or officer?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Boogaloos would "rather not see there" Proud Boys or MAGAts? Whacha gonna do bout it, hunh?

Are we going to see street fights between elements of the hard right?

[Major Nikon]

18. ...

[Delphinus]

45. Truth.

[turbinetree]

19. Fuck them and the GD horse they ride lock them up............your racist's organization

[oldsoftie]

36. The Boogaloos actually arent racists. They're anti-police, anti-government.

And at one point during the summer they actually considered joining up with BLM against the police.
The Atlantic has a good story on just who & what these idiots are & arent.

[turbinetree]

38. Thank you................

will look at this..........

[Chemisse]

46. That's interesting; I didn't know that. n/t

[JonLP24]

50. They didn't consider joining BLM

Don't spread that without proof. BLM doesn't want to kill police.


Far-right “Boogaloo boy” killed officer after using Black Lives Matter protest as cover: prosecutors

A California man charged with killing a federal officer and a sheriff's deputy has ties to the far-right "Boogaloo" movement, according to federal authorities.

Air Force Staff Sgt. Steven Carrillo, 32, was charged with killing federal service officer David Patrick Underwood, 53, near a Black Lives Matter protest at an Oakland courthouse on May 29, the Department of Justice announced on Tuesday.

Carrillo faces federal murder charges in Underwood's death, as well as an attempted murder charge after allegedly severely wounding a fellow federal officer at the courthouse. Both officers were members of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service.

(Snip)

"Go to the riots and support our own cause. Show them the real targets. Use their anger to fuel our fire. Think outside the box. We have mobs of angry people to use to our advantage," he wrote in one message, according to the complaint.

I can't believe posters fell for your post.

[ancianita]

51. Yeah, boogalosers and parler boys usually try to present themselves as their opponents to foment

media confusion. Paler boyz leader, Terrio, explicitly told his national supporters to go to the capitol dressed in all black to appear as antifa.

[Karma13612]

52. You might have slightly misunderstood the post:

Here is what the post states:

they actually considered joining up with BLM

Doing it and considering it are different. Not to mention that BLM would be the ones to decide if they wanted the BB to join them.

Just pointing it out....

[JonLP24]

54. I realize that

BLM has very different goals. They were in Georgia helping Democrats win the Senate while the Bogaloo Bois want to overthrow the government.

BLM supports a variety of policies that are very different than what a far-right anti-government group wants.

I found a better source.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/black-lives-matter-releases-policy-agenda-n620966

In any case the person arrested for killing a police officer makes clear what their real goals are.

[IronLionZion]

20. State capitols might be more vulnerable

since DC now has 25,000 national guard troops stationed here with severe restrictions all around downtown and the capitol area

[PatrickforO]

21. ...safeguards are in place to assure that nothing violent happens concerning the Boogaloo Boys...

Really?

This is a neo-Nazi group that is dedicated to overthrowing the republic - their mission is to foment civil war.

Let's read between the lines on that last paragraph, shall we? What does 'nothing violent concerning' mean?

I say activate the Guard and give them live bullets like they did in DC. We don't need domestic terrorists fomenting civil war.

[Lock him up.]

53. +1: We don't need domestic terrorists fomenting civil war.

Moreso during a pandemic that kills 4K a day...

[Marthe48]

22. You can't control the monster you made

Stay home.

[nuxvomica]

23. Something may have changed in the PR sphere

After all the admissions and documentation about 1/6, fewer people will swallow the "Antifa did it" hokum. The Boogaloo Bois leaned on that one especially, trying, and failing, to blame Antifa for the Minneapolis Precinct 3 arson. So I am hopeful that without that shield, these groups are starting to see a level of accountability they haven't dealt with before and maybe that will restrain them a little. We'll see.

[cayugafalls]

24. Why is it always a Sunday...

[BlueWavePsych]

26. Can't wait for the drone strike footage ...

Maybe they can use the new MK9 Reaper on these Boogaloo terrorists

[Traildogbob]

39. I've been thinking

Drones with hell fire missiles myself.
These fools are like an obese middle age ass that buys some leather, a motorcycle, grows a beard and gets tats, then all of a Sudden, they are the toughest SOB on the planet.
Then mouth off to a hard battled Hells Angel, threatening to kill him.
Same outcome about to be on video to enjoy.

[BlueWavePsych]

60. GBU-28 or Mini MOAB for their preppy bunkers would be nice too.

JDAM

[barbtries]

29. i assume they will be dealt with

speedily and appropriately. I can't imagine they have a permit just for starters, and if they come armed, that should be go to jail.

ETA I'm trying very hard not to worry too much. I know the security is unprecedented but just can't seem to lose the dread.

[NCjack]

31. Boo-Boo boys, the fix is NOT in this time. The Guard is waiting for you.

[yaesu]

32. that dog won't hunt

not with 25k plus national guard, they are just terrorizing through media now but in reality their incel brigade is through.

[modrepub]

33. While Dangerous

I seriously doubt there are going to be very large groups showing up. Couple of hundred, maybe a thousand. Problem is if they are calling for simultaneous protests, they can't all show up in one place to make it seem that it's a large movement. Most of the protests that I've read about note there are a lot of out of state plates. Same people traveling around for a series of protests.

I'd love to see what these people do for a living or more importantly how they are funding themselves. All that gear, travel, web sites et cetera costs money. You'll do more damage revealing who's funding these folks or how they are funding themselves rather than who's showing up.

[oldsoftie]

37. they live in dumps and spend their money on gear. nt

[jalan48]

34. Trump's last stand-the state capitols. I hope the states are ready.

[SWBTATTReg]

35. Go ahead. Go ahead, do the adult, mature thing. Makes me sick if anything.

[Zorro]

40. My worry is that Trump might use weekend violence to declare martial law

You know he must be thinking about it.

[LiberalLovinLug]

48. I'd love to see him try

The army has already pre-emptively said it would not help Trump to overturn the election. I don't know what general would even listen to him, and he'd be overrule by others I believe, if one did try to enforce it.

So because of that, I'd like to see him try and order it. Because his popularity would be shredded even more. And a few more cultists would snap out of their stupor.

[Baclava]

49. I am all out of fucks to give about what Trump might do, military already said they won't listen

[Traildogbob]

41. The Media

Needs to fully broadcast the full episode, pink mist and all, not like watering down wars overseas. ALL The motherfucking brain dead’s and future wanna be brain dead’s to see what bullets do, not a damn video games. All those women, punk kids, teachers, preachers, smiling and videoing like a pregame party, let em see what blood, body parts, intestines, brain matter flying, (if there is any), and masses of fleshy chunks flying in the air, On your face, looks and feels like.
Come on down, bring your phone, good times. Stuff your Trump flag into gaping body cavity holes to slow the bleeding and hold your entrails in place.

[roamer65]

42. Governor Whitmer called up the National Guard in MI.

👍👍

[Chemisse]

47. I am hoping the average follower doesn't show up.

The leaders may still be fully enthusiastic, but those who have been following the crowd may have gotten a wake-up call seeing so many brethren arrested over the past week.

[EndlessWire]

55. The Guard will be armed.

Brandish a gun...die.

I'm gonna be watching my man Mahomes winning on the ball field!

If Trump declares preplanned martial law on Sunday, I will be po'd! The announcement doesn't make any sense, and telling people not to come doesn't make any sense, unless free roamers will get in the way of planned fighting.

Go, Chiefs!
