During the Minneapolis riot, there was a group of White militia guys walking around, all armed with AR-15s, wearing tactical gear. They were not trying to stop any of the looting or anything. In the pictures I saw, they were just smiling.
I wonder who they where, Boogaloo Boys, maybe.
Yahoo News sure likes to present inflammatory headlines.
I'll come back to digest what you guys are posting. Haven't had time just yet.

Man !
I posted this four hours ago, and just now I received a pop up Windows notification .."Who were those White militia guys at the Minneapolis riot"?
But I have to subscribe to the KC Star newspaper to read it.
Is that messed up or what ?

The mask is used to protect others from the wearer. To keep a sick person from infecting others. Sure wearing one protects the wearer. The being a good neighbor and wearing one, just how is that a bad thing?
Is it a arrogant selfish act to forgo wearing a mask to protect another I let others decide for themselves. Have my own opinion as to the motivation.

I had the chance to read the KC Star article in print.
The armed guys seem to be identifying with the Boogaloo 'movement', mostly done though facebook. Their numbers have grown substantially since the Covid pandemic took hold, but they're not a cohesive group.
The only common thread seems to be protesting police brutality / authority in general, however, the militias type also cooperate with the police sometimes.
It's just a coincidence that the windows popup advertising the article occurred when it did, the paper was already finalized for printing.

Just a quick Q. Why do people keep conflating riots with protesting? Have there not been protests happening for the last week or so, even around the world, without violence? I mean I know the media doesn't like to cover that but they are there. Also, shooting someone in the back just because he got away from you is just wrong.

Although protests can and do turn into riots.
