Virolainen teinipoika johti kansainvälistä uusnatsiryhmää pikkukaupungista Saarenmaalta, jäsenet valmistelivat pommi-iskuja Yhdysvalloissa

Feuerkrieg Division -ryhmän perustaja oli vain 13-vuotias. Ryhmän jäsenet eivät näytä tienneen hänen ikäänsä.

Hänen kutsumanimensä oli Commander. Hän oli kansainvälisen, väkivaltaa ihannoivan ja pommi-iskuihin yhdistetyn uusnatsiryhmän johtaja. Hän on 13-vuotias virolainen koulupoika Saarenmaalta.

Uusnatsiryhmä Feuerkrieg Divisionia johtanut poika asuu Virossa, vahvistivat Viron turvallisuusviranomaiset uutistoimisto AP:lle. Asiasta on aiemmin tällä viikolla uutisoinut virolainen Eesti Ekspress -lehti

Virolaispoika katkaisi yhteydet järjestöön sen jälkeen kun poliisi oli kuulustellut häntä tammikuussa. Viron suojelupoliisin eli Kaitsepolitseiametin (KaPo) tiedottaja Harrys Puusepp sanoi AP:lle, että viranomaiset puuttuivat asiaan sen jälkeen kun he alkoivat epäillä henkilön tekemisiä ja mahdollista vaaran aiheuttamista.

– Koska tapauksessa käsitellään alle 14-vuotiasta lasta, tätä henkilöä ei voida asettaa rikossyytteeseen vaan muita laillisia tapoja täytyy käyttää riskin eliminoimiseksi, Puusepp sanoi.

Hän ei kuitenkaan kertonut lapsen ikää tai muita tietoja tapauksesta. Myöskään henkilön nimeä ei voida kertoa nuoren iän vuoksi.

Hajanainen kansainvälinen ryhmä

Feuerkrieg Divisionin (FKD) sisäiset viestit ovat vuotaneet nettiin ja niistä on ilmennyt, että "Commander" on ryhmän perustaja ja kotoisin Saarenmaalta.

Eesti Ekspressin mukaan hän asuu pienellä paikkakunnalla. Lehden mukaan teini ei ole varsinaisesti ryhmän johtaja, sillä ryhmä on varsin hajanainen, mutta kuitenkin sen merkittävimpiä jäseniä.

Feuerkrieg Division on yksi äärimmäisimmistä valkoista ylivaltaa ihannoineista uusnatsiryhmistä internetissä. Ryhmä perustettiin lokakuussa 2018 ja sillä on ollut joitain kymmeniä jäseniä Euroopassa ja Pohjois-Amerikassa, sanoo viharyhmiä tutkinut yhdysvaltalainen kansalaisjärjestö Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

– Heidän nykyinen johtajansa asuu Virossa, mutta ryhmän jäsenistö on yhä kasvavasti amerikkalaista, ADL sanoo.

FKD on saanut voimakkaasti vaikutteita Atomwaffen Divisionista, uusnatsiryhmästä, jonka jäsenet ovat tehneet ainakin viisi murhaa Yhdysvalloissa. Ryhmien ajatusmaailma, rasismi ja propaganda on samanlaista, sanoo ADL.

Ryhmän jäsenet ihannoivat muiden muassa Uuden-Seelannin moskeija-ampujaa, norjalaista Anders Behring Breivikiä ja Oklahoma Cityn pommittajaa Timothy McVeighiä. Erityisessä arvossa he pitävät Adolf Hitlerin lisäksi esimerkiksi joukkomurhaaja Charles Mansonia.

Valtaosa toiminnasta tapahtuu netissä, mutta he jakavat myös rasistisia, juutalais- ja muslimivastaisia ja vihapuhetta tihkuvia lentolehtisiä. Sisäisessä viestinnässään ryhmä on suunnitellut väkivaltaisia tekoja. Osa on pyrkinyt panemaan suunnitelmat täytäntöön.

Pommi-iskuja valmisteltiin

Yhdysvaltain liittovaltion poliisi FBI on päässyt murtautumaan ryhmän sisäiseen internetviestintään. Uutistoimisto AP:n mukaan FBI ja terrorisminvastainen ryhmä tekivät pidätyksen Las Vegasissa huhtikuussa 2019.

Pidätetty mies oli viestitellyt ryhmän muiden jäsenten kanssa suunnitellen pommi-iskua paikalliseen synagogaan ja seksuaalivähemmistöjen yökerhoon. Mieheltä löytyi materiaaleja pommin rakentamiseen. Pidätetty 24-vuotias amerikkalaismies odottaa parhaillaan tuomiotaan tunnustettuaan syyllisyytensä laittoman tuliaseen hallussapitoon.

Myös toinen pommi-iskua suunnitellut mies, amerikkalainen sotilas, odottaa parhaillaan tuomiotaan tunnustettuaan syyllisyytensä. Myös hän oli tiiviissä yhteydessä Feuerkrieg Divisionin jäsenten kanssa.

Eesti Ekspressin mukaan ryhmän jäseniä on pidätetty myös muissa maissa. Ison-Britannian viranomaiset ilmoittivat syksyllä pidättäneensä 16-vuotiaan nuoren miehen, joka oli etsinyt pomminrakennusohjeita netistä ja oli myös FKD:n jäsen. Pidätyksiä on myös Kroatiassa ja Liettuassa.

Der Spiegelin mukaan järjestöllä on ainakin kuusi jäsentä Saksassa. Ryhmän Saksan-johtaja, 22-vuotias "Heydrich" pidätettiin helmikuussa Baijerissa, lehti uutisoi.
Nuorten ääriajatukset huolena

Nettiin vuotaneiden keskustelujen perusteella ryhmän jäsenet pohtivat syytä siihen, miksi Commander katosi keskusteluista tammikuussa. Jäsenet pohtivat, onko hänet pidätetty. Mistään viestinnästä ei ilmene, että jäsenet olisivat tienneet johtajansa olevan 13-vuotias.

Viron suojelupoliisin mukaan internet-radikalisaatio on osa laajempaa ilmiötä. Poliisi muistuttaa, että koulut ja vanhemmat ovat keskeisessä roolissa lasten ja nuorten ääriajatusten kitkemisessä.

– Valitettavasti käytännössä on sellaisia tilanteita, missä vanhemmat itse ovat tuoneet äärimielistä materiaalia lastensa ulottuville, mikä on johtanut radikalisoitumiseen, sanoi KaPon johtaja Alar Ridamäe tiedotteessa.

KaPon mukaan 13-vuotiaasta Commanderista "on nyt huolehdittu". Poliisi ei täsmentänyt, mitä se tarkoittaa.

Far right hijack coronavirus crisis to push agenda and boost support

Extremists are using the pandemic to promote themselves as supporters of the community and spread fake information

Far-right movements are exploiting the coronavirus crisis to push their anti-minority agendas and win new support.

A report by Zinc Network, a communications agency that tracks disinformation and propaganda, suggests there has been a clear pivot among far-right groups in the UK, EU and US to “utilise the pandemic to bring new relevancy, attention and support for their key grievances”.

“The evidence we’ve uncovered shows that far-right groups in the UK are using Covid-19 to promote a British form of fascism,” said Louis Brooke, executive director of research and strategy at Zinc Network.

“Their tactics are sophisticated, and their activity is becoming more difficult to monitor, partly due to the use of private messaging apps to share disinformation and propaganda. We’re seeing the dissemination of material claiming that immigrants spread coronavirus, and that authoritarian regimes outperform western liberal democracies in tackling the health crisis.”

Zinc Network said British far-right groups such as Britain First and the Knights Templar International, as well as the BNP’s former leader, Nick Griffin, have used the crisis to promote themselves as supporters of the community during the lockdown. Griffin has posted images of himself on social media distributing food parcels.

Zinc Network, which in the past has attracted scrutiny for its work promoting the Home Office’s anti-radicalisation strategy, Prevent, studied social media posts, photos, videos, journals, official records and media reports to produce the analysis.

t said one key narrative being pushed by the far right is that the spread of coronavirus is the consequence of illegal immigration. Allied to this is the claim that nations with tightly-controlled borders are better prepared to deal with the pandemic. Another is the premise that modern liberal states are on the verge of collapse, and that their fall can be accelerated through armed action or by a major crisis.

The promotion of survivalist material by far-right groups is also becoming a trend. Zinc says neo-Nazi publisher Arktos has been publishing updated and expanded editions of far-right survivalist texts.

A favoured tactic among far-right groups is to put fake documents into circulation, designed to look like real medical or government communications. According to Zinc’s monitoring, far-right Telegram channels have been instrumental in circulating a fake scan of a positive Covid-19 test for the former vice-president and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

The same channels have also been distributing government pandemic response documents with a view to helping would-be attackers plan their actions.

Some far-right organisations are using the crisis to impersonate other groups, Zinc claims. Fake Extinction Rebellion flyers have been found in several cities in the UK proclaiming “Corona is the cure – humans are the disease”.

Most of the leaflets condemn immigration, with some calling for the public to “learn about the JQ” – the “Jewish question”. Others promote conspiracy theories or deny the Russian novichok attack in Salisbury.

Brooke said: “These extremist groups are using the coronavirus as an opportunity to further their ideological objectives by spreading fear and division and exacerbating social tensions.”

'Swastikas and nooses': governor slams 'racism' of Michigan lockdown protest

Gretchen Whitmer says heavily armed men and Confederate flags at state capitol ‘depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history’

Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan issued a rebuke of the armed protesters who gathered inside the state capitol last week in defiance of statewide lockdown orders, saying the demonstrators embodied some of the “worst racism” of the nation’s history.

“Some of the outrageousness of what happened at our capitol depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country,” Whitmer said during a Sunday interview on CNN’s State of the Union.

Last week Donald Trump had said of the protesters: “These are very good people.”

Hundreds of protesters, many not wearing protective face masks and some armed legally with “long guns”, gathered inside the statehouse in Lansing on Thursday as lawmakers debated the Democratic governor’s request to extend her emergency powers to combat the coronavirus pandemic. The tightly packed crowd attempted to enter the floor of the legislative chamber and were held back by a line of state police and capitol staff, according to video footage posted by local journalists.



Whitmer highlighted that the number of protesters was relatively small but that the imagery some of them used was a disturbing reminder of ugly elements of America’s past. “We know that people are not all happy about having to take the stay-home posture,” Whitmer said on Sunday, “and you know what, I’m not either. But we have to listen to the public health experts and displays like the one we saw in our state capitol are not representative of who we are in Michigan.

“There were swastikas and Confederate flags and nooses and people with assault rifles. That’s a small group of people when you think that this is a state of almost 10 million people, the vast majority of whom are doing the right thing.”

Displaying the Confederate flag, or other symbols of the slave-owning south during the American civil war, is usually seen as racist. While some claim they are celebrating southern identity, it is widely seen as a racist symbol deeply offensive to black Americans. There is also an ongoing campaign to remove Confederate war statues from public display or rename streets and buildings which commemorate Confederate generals or politicians.

Last week, the Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who represents Michigan’s 13th congressional district, condemned the demonstrations at the state Capitol. “Black people get executed by police for just existing, while white people dressed like militia members carrying assault weapons are allowed to threaten State Legislators and staff,” Tlaib wrote in a tweet on Thursday.



The protests continued to draw national attention on Friday when Trump once again threw his support behind the rightwing movement, saying Whitmer should “make a deal” with the demonstrators.

“The governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire,” the president wrote on Twitter. “These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.”

When asked if it was appropriate for the president to express support for protests in which “long guns” were carried on Friday afternoon, the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, said the president supported the right to protest within the law and while following federal social distancing guidelines.

“The president says that we must protest lawfully and act within the bounds of the law,” said McEnany.

The staggering effects of the pandemic among Whitmer’s electorate in terms of both illness and unemployment have placed a nationwide focus on Michigan, which is certain to be a key battleground state in the upcoming presidential election. The state had long been regarded as a Democratic stronghold but went for Trump four years ago, helping to spring his surprise electoral victory.

Far-right ‘boogaloo boys’ linked to killing of California law officers and other violence
https://www.latimes.com/california/stor ... r-violence

By Richard Winton, Maura Dolan, Anita Chabria
June 17, 2020 - 8:53 AM

In the wake of the killing of two law enforcement officers in Northern California, more attention is being directed to the “boogaloo” movement, a far-right fringe group that has been tied to violence around the country.

On Tuesday, federal law enforcement officials announced they were charging Air Force Sgt. Steven Carrillo, 32, and suspected accomplice Robert A. Justus Jr., 30, in the May 29 shooting death of a federal security officer in Oakland.

Carrillo also faces state charges in the June 6 killing of a Santa Cruz sheriff’s deputy.


What is boogaloo?

Brian Levin, executive director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino, says boogaloo followers include ultra-libertarians and white supremacists, but they all share a belief that a second civil war is coming.

“They are 2nd Amendment insurrectionists,” Levin said. “The boogaloo boys believe in armed insurrection and include attacks on the police.”

Other experts on extremists said the boogaloo movement was still evolving and its philosophy varied depending on geography and the underlying beliefs of individual members.

Although followers all want a second civil war to reset American society, experts say, their desired new society varies — some want to embrace racism, and others want to focus on armed libertarianism.

Many followers discovered the movement on internet chat sites. It then migrated to more mainstream social media, including Facebook and TikTok, where young adherents post videos of themselves dancing in their trademark Hawaiian shirts.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department mug shot of suspect Steven Carrillo who was arrested Saturday, June 6, on suspicion of fatally shooting a sheriff's deputy in the Santa Cruz Mountains town of Ben Lomond.

How widespread is the movement?

Devin Burghart, executive director of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, which tracks far-right extremist activity, said alt-right groups, including the boogaloo movement, increased their online presence dramatically when governments ordered shutdowns to protect people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adherents attended protests calling for businesses to reopen and later shifted to the demonstrations held following the police killing of George Floyd, he said.

Following President Trump’s call for “MAGA night” on Twitter after protesters demonstrated in front of the White House, Burghart said, he saw an uptick in alt-right participation in Floyd rallies.

“We only saw a handful of instances” before that, Burghart said. “We saw more boogaloo boys showing up at rallies with their Hawaiian shirts.”

Members of the New Mexico Civil Guard militia group, one of whom is accused of shooting a protester recently over the removal of a statue, also have ties to the boogaloo movement, he said.

“A number of boogaloo boys started in different elements of the far right,” Burghart said, “and have been drawn to the more confrontational stance of the boogaloo over time.”

Levin says the center’s research shows there have been 27 homicides connected to far-right extremists in the U.S. since 2019. That number doesn’t include the most recent Bay Area killings. The FBI arrested three devotees of the boogaloo movement in Nevada recently. They were charged with inciting violence with the use of Molotov cocktails at protests.


What do we know about the California suspects?

When authorities searched Carrillo’s home, they found ammunition, firearms, bomb-making equipment, and a bullet-resistant vest with a curious patch.

The patch included an igloo and a Hawaiian-style print, markings associated with boogaloo.

Justus, the Millbrae, Calif., man who is Carrillo’s suspected accomplice, had social media posts showing support for boogaloo memes. One post reviewed by the Los Angeles Times names people who have been killed by law enforcement, including Oscar Grant, shot by transit police at Oakland’s Fruitvale station in 2009, and Vicki Weaver, wife of white supremacist Randy Weaver, who was killed by an FBI sniper during the 1992 Ruby Ridge siege in Idaho.

The federal government on Tuesday announced that it had charged Carrillo with the murder of federal security officer David Patrick Underwood, 53, a resident of the small East Bay city of Pinole, and the attempted murder of Underwood’s partner.

The security officers were shot while guarding a federal building in downtown Oakland during a Floyd protest. The pair used the protest as a cover for their plans to attack law enforcement, said FBI Special Agent in Charge Jack Bennett.

“There is no evidence that these men had any intention to join the demonstration in Oakland,” Bennett said at a Tuesday news conference. “They came to Oakland to kill cops.”

Federal officials said Justus was behind the wheel of a white van that carried Carrillo, who fired the shots. Surveillance video showed that Carrillo slid open the van’s side door to fire his weapon, officials said, as Justus acted at the getaway driver.

The two men were linked through cellphone records, officials said. Carrillo used a privately made, unmarked machine gun — a so-called ghost gun — with a silencer to kill Underwood, Bennett said. The federal complaint against Carrillo said law enforcement found similarities in fired cartridge cases at the shootings in both Oakland and Santa Cruz.

Evidence in the van led authorities to Carrillo’s Ben Lomond, Calif., home. There, in the early afternoon, Carrillo allegedly opened fire on deputies, killing Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller and injuring another deputy. An explosion then rocked the property, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Carrillo was shot during the gunfire, ran away and then hijacked a car on a nearby highway, according to the federal complaint against him. When he was arrested, he was bleeding from his hip.

Carrillo apparently used his own blood to write messages on the hood of the hijacked car, the complaint said. It identified the writing as “BOOG,” “I Became Unreasonable,” and “Stop the Duopoly.”

As protests gripped Oakland on May 29, a white van pulled up outside a federal courthouse. A door slid open, and a man peppered the two security officers outside with bullets, killing one and wounding the other.

For a little over a week, the crime was a mystery. Was it tied to the protests just blocks away? Even after the suspected killer was dramatically caught in the nearby mountains eight days later, his motive was murky.

Now, federal authorities 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. Federal investigators allege that’s exactly what Carrillo was trying to do last month.

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday charged Carrillo with murder and attempted murder, and leveled aiding and abetting charges against Robert Alvin Justus Jr., who has admitted to serving as a getaway driver during the courthouse ambush, according to the FBI. Protective Security Officer David Patrick Underwood was killed and a second officer, whom officials have not named, was critically wounded in the ambush. Inside the three vehicles Carrillo used, police found a boogaloo patch, ammunition, firearms, bombmaking equipment and three messages scrawled in blood: “I became unreasonable,” “Boog” and “Stop the duopoly.”

“The assassination and injury of federal officers who swore an oath to protect the American public will not be tolerated,” Chad Wolf, the acting secretary for homeland security, said in a statement announcing the charges. “The Department of Homeland Security will continue its mission to end violent extremism in any form.”

Men wearing Hawaiian shirts and carrying guns add a volatile new element to protests

Carrillo’s attorney, Jeffrey Stotter, told NBC News investigators’ claims are “accusations and allegations,” and said his client was “left deeply shaken” by his wife’s suicide in 2018. He also told the Santa Cruz Sentinel that Carrillo, who was an active-duty Air Force staff sergeant at the time of the attack, suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2009.

“All I can ask is that we avoid a rush to judgment as to what occurred,” Stotter told the Sentinel.

The newly detailed alleged motive behind the attack at the Oakland courthouse comes as concerns rise about right-wing violence at Black Lives Matter protests. On Monday, a counterdemonstrator shot a protester during a scuffle in Albuquerque, after a militia group in military-style garb and armed with semiautomatic rifles stood menacingly in the crowd throughout the afternoon. Other boogaloo boys have been charged recently with fomenting violence at other protests.

The alleged crime rampage started with a Facebook exchange between Carrillo and Justus on the morning of May 28, according to the criminal complaint.

Carrillo was transferred to Travis Air Force Base about a month after his wife’s 2018 death and had no disciplinary record in the Air Force. He was a Phoenix Raven team leader, heading an elite squad of security forces stationed at Travis Air Force Base. He served four months overseas in Kuwait in 2019.

“It’s on our coast now, this needs to be nationwide,” Carrillo allegedly posted in a group chat with Justus and one other person, referring to a YouTube video showing a crowd of protesters attacking two California Highway Patrol vehicles. “It’s a great opportunity to target the specialty soup bois. Keep that energy going.”

“Let’s boogie,” Justus allegedly replied.

The term “soup bois” has been used in boogaloo memes to refer to the “alphabet soup” of federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Federal Protective Service (FPS). Facebook messages also show Justus and Carrillo planned to use nearby protests as a distraction, knowing police resources would be focused on preventing rioting and looting, the criminal complaint alleges.

The next day, on May 29, as thousands of protesters filled the streets in Oakland, Justus allegedly drove the 1992 white Ford van to the federal courthouse in Oakland and rolled past two Protective Security officers standing guard as Carrillo opened the van’s sliding door and fired multiple rounds, authorities say.

The men fled in the van and disappeared for days while police circulated photos of the vehicle, pleading with the public for information that would lead them to the gunman.

Eight days later, on June 6, a witness in Ben Lomond, Calif., about 70 miles south of Oakland, spotted the 1992 van, its license plates removed, windows obscured with spray paint and a distinctive missing hubcap replaced with a new one that did not match the other three wheels. Inside the car, investigators found Carrillo’s fingerprint on a can of white spray paint, according to the complaint.

The van’s VIN number led officers that afternoon to Carrillo’s property in Ben Lomond.

As they approached the isolated home surrounded by wooded hills, someone began firing. Two sheriff’s deputies were shot in the gunfight, and one later died. Then, an explosion erupted nearby.

The shooter, allegedly Carrillo again, ran away, armed with a semiautomatic rifle equipped with a silencer and designed to fire multiple rounds with each pull of the trigger. He allegedly stole a Toyota Camry from a driver at gunpoint. He abandoned the car nearby after scrawling the boogaloo-linked phrases on the hood in his own blood, authorities say.

Wounded from the gunfight, Carrillo did not make it much farther. He allegedly stumbled onto a local resident’s property, still bleeding, with his rifle strapped to his chest, and demanded the homeowner’s car keys. The man calmly went inside to retrieve the key and handed it to Carrillo, law enforcement officials said. When Carrillo turned to leave, the man tackled him, disarmed him and held him until police arrived and arrested him.

Federal officials took particular issue with Carrillo’s alleged intent to use protests in Oakland as cover for the ambush attack.

“Indiscriminate targeting of law enforcement officers by those motivated by violent extremism of any stripe is contrary to our nation’s values and undermines the powerful message of peaceful protesters,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers said in a statement Tuesday. “We stand firmly against anyone who seeks to hijack the protests with acts of violence and destruction.”

The so-called boogaloo boys movement might be more accurately described as a loosely connected online community, with no formal organization, leadership or coherent set of beliefs. Almost everything about the far-right ideology — starting with the name, spawned from online jokes about a 1982 break-dancing film — bubbled up through meme-sharing on social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube and more obscure sites such as 4chan and Gab.

The igloos and Hawaiian shirts that boogaloo supporters sport in public are drawn from memes riffing on the name, which sounds similar to “big igloo” and “big luau,” and refers to a civil war that “boogaloo bois,” as they are also known, imagine in the near future. One uniting theme behind the movement is a belief in and support for that civil war against a tyrannical government. Beyond that, the boogaloo ideology is flexible.

Many of those who claim an allegiance to the far-right movement, which is made up largely of young white men, frequently carry rifles and espouse a need to defend the Second Amendment. According to the Anti-Defamation League, some boogaloo adherents oppose government overreach and advance libertarian ideas embraced by militias and gun-rights groups; others openly spread white supremacist rhetoric and encourage a race war.

In April and May, boogaloo boys showed up to anti-lockdown protests. One alleged supporter was arrested as part of an armed group that aimed to defend an illegally opened bar in Texas from law enforcement attempting to enforce the governor’s coronavirus restrictions.

More recently, they’ve been spotted at Black Lives Matter events. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) tweeted a photo of two men in Hawaiian shirts posing near a flipped police cruiser in Salt Lake City on May 31. And on June 3, federal prosecutors charged three men allegedly connected to the boogaloo movement with exploiting a racial justice protest in an attempt to incite violence using a molotov cocktail.

In addition to the federal charges, Carrillo faces a murder charge in the slaying of Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller, and attempted murder charges for allegedly shooting at deputies when they searched his California property June 6.

If convicted on the federal counts, Carrillo could face the death penalty for the murder charge and up to 20 years in prison for the attempted murder charge. Justus could face the same penalties for the aiding and abetting charges.

Suspected boogaloo trio planned violence like military operation

When Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Dickinson sought to persuade a federal judge to put three suspected members of the extremist boogaloo movement behind bars, he provided plenty of ammunition.

A key part of the veteran prosecutor’s argument last week was how the men had plotted to stir up violence at protests and destroy federal buildings as if they were conducting military operations.

They talked in code, wore tactical military gear, carried weapons, possessed explosive materials and conducted reconnaissance missions, Dickinson alleged.

The defendants, who have military backgrounds, wanted to loosely follow the principles of the notorious Irish Republican Army, a paramilitary organization dedicated to liberating Northern Ireland from British rule, he said.

Those principles are contained in the IRA’s Green Book, a training manual written in the 1950s that talked about waging a military war against the British government. The use of explosives was a big part of the IRA’s tactics, which included military troops and police officers among their targets. The group required its members to maintain secrecy and total commitment to its cause.

The right-wing boogaloo movement, which is decentralized with no national leaders, believes in an impending civil war and ultimate societal collapse in the United States.

Trio had plans

Dickinson argued in court that one of the alleged Las Vegas boogaloos, Stephen Parshall, a 35-year-old Navy veteran, had been “radicalized” and “clearly was mobilized to act.”

Another defendant, William Loomis, 40, a postal worker and 13-year Navy veteran, was “angry” and also ready to “take action,” Dickinson said.

Loomis, a former militia member, believed civil war was coming soon, and he likened the growing unrest in the United States to the fall of the Roman Empire, according to Dickinson.

The youngest defendant, Andrew Lynam, 23, told investigators after his arrest that he organized the group, which began on Facebook, and recruited members at Las Vegas ReOpen protests.

“Lynam stated their intent was to cause change in the government using various means up to and including criminal activity,“ a police arrest report states. “Lynam admitted the group engaged in physical training, vetting of members, training and tactics to counter law enforcement and counter surveillance of law enforcement efforts at the protests and rallies.”

The Army reservist apologized to investigators and said he realized his actions were “inappropriate and evolving into potential violence against citizens and law enforcement.”

Loomis also acknowledged his participation in the boogaloo group.

“Loomis said he was searching for an outlet to express his rage, anger and frustration with the current climate within the U.S.,” the arrest report states.

IRA discussed

The FBI launched the investigation in April after an informant brought the bureau information about the group’s plans, according to court documents.

The Las Vegas members discussed their affinity for the IRA with the informant while planning to disrupt a ReOpen demonstration in May.

“They indicated they wanted the government to show its hand,” the arrest report states. “In order to do so, they wanted to create a chaotic and confusing scene for the upcoming protest. This would include any type of fireworks, smoke bombs and/or noise makers.”

Eventually, an undercover FBI agent was introduced to the group. The agent appeared at a ReOpen protest on May 16 with the informant and Parshall.

Group members planned to set off devices at the beginning of the protest to cause panic and eventually a confrontation between police and the protesters, according to the report. But they ended up abandoning the plan in favor of efforts to firebomb an NV Energy substation and a federal ranger station at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

Those plans also were put on hold as Black Lives Matter protests began in Las Vegas after the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The agent was next placed with members of the group on May 30, the day the three men were arrested before the downtown Black Lives Matter protest, court documents show. The FBI had learned that the trio was prepared to toss Molotov cocktails at police.

Dickinson said in court last week that the government has secret recordings of the defendants.

The three men are facing federal explosives and firearms charges as well as local terrorism charges.

Evidence found

Investigators found rags, a gasoline canister, cans of hairspray, fireworks and weapons in Parshall’s truck after he was arrested, according to the police report.

During a search of Lynam’s home, investigators seized handwritten notes of military tactics and possible scouting routes and locations, along with “kill boxes,” survival tactics, fireworks, a bomb and booby traps, the report states.

The search warrant mentions an array of items, including computers, weapons, explosives and a copy of the actual IRA Green Book. Investigators also were looking for Hawaiian shirts and patches belonging to the men. Boogaloo members are known for wearing Hawaiian shirts at public demonstrations while carrying arms. One expert said the practice is a spinoff of a fraternal weekend tradition of military special forces.

Defense lawyers disputed the government’s claims in court last week, but U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Koppe concluded that Parshall and Loomis were a danger to the community. She ordered both into federal custody.

Dickinson is also seeking federal detention for Lynam, but his hearing was put off until June 16 so Lynam’s lawyers could have more time to prepare.

Koppe found that both Loomis and Lynam could not afford to pay for their defense, so she appointed their lawyers at taxpayer expense.

Sama tyyppi podcastissa kertomassa boogaloosta. Tosi hyvä. Sanoo tossa, että pitää boogaluuta pääasiassa ideologisesti 2nd amendment anarkokapitalisteina, vaikka tulevatkin jenkkilibertaari / patriot movement taustasta. Tietty todella liukuva ja määrittelemätön liike ilman sen suurempaa ideologiaa tai mitään virallisia ryhmiä tms.


Enemmän antifa-pohjainen hyvä taustajuttu boogaluusta ja jostain booglauuryhmästä otettu "mediaopas".

Speak their language and use their language to subtly inject pro-2A messaging​. Themajority of them are left-leaning and will only understand leftist language. Using right-wing orlibertarian talking points will not likely resonate with them. Remember, they believe theseprotests are about BLACK lives. ​Avoid saying "All Lives Matter" or projecting anysimilar message​
