US attorney announces the gunman who allegedly killed two law enforcement officers in California was associated with the right-wing Boogaloo movement. A patch bearing the groups symbol was found in the van used by the shooter in Oakland and Santa Cruz killings
FBI: The gunman, an Air Force sergeant, and an accomplice went to Oakland "to take advantage of BLM protests at the courthouse and open fire on officers. The pair were not associated with the protests.
The gun used in the shooting of federal security officers was an AR-15 style rifle, US attorney says.
They came to Oakland to kill cops, FBI special agent says.

(2,697 posts)And our current Attorney General will want to make sure that he leaves no rhetorical stone unturned to distance this murderous asshole from the precious Right and White Wing of the Real American political spectrum.
"Well, the mere presence of allegedly "Boogaloo" symbols on a van he allegedly used when he allegedly drove to Oakland with what has been alleged to be an AR-15 does not in and of itself prove any of the alleged allegations made against this young male, or the patriotic but allegedly exclusive and Euro-focused organization of which he is alleged to be a member or hanger-on but which, for all we know, is an accusation baselessly alleged."
(Hmmm, maybe that should read:"Our current alleged Attorney General . . . "

(26,611 posts)I shouldn't post anything like that last post, knowing that it's likely to lead to a stupid debate about semantics. Forget I posted anything.
