Where are Barr's stormtroopers when you need them?

With an umbrella in his left hand and a hammer in his right, the man in black lobbed his weapon so nonchalantly into an auto parts shop’s windows that it surprised many others in Minneapolis marching nearby in a May 27 protest after George Floyd’s death.
Soon after the abrupt attack, the mostly calm demonstration near a police precinct erupted into looting and arson — the first fire in riots that eventually caused $500 million in damage and left two people dead, the Associated Press reported.
For weeks afterward, activists and Internet commenters homed in on a viral video of the figure nicknamed “Umbrella Man,” speculating that his intent was actually to turn the peaceful protests destructive.
On Tuesday, Minneapolis police identified him as an affiliate of a white supremacist group that allegedly sought to “incite violence,” according to a search warrant affidavit filed in the Hennepin County District Court. The Star Tribune first reported of the warrant. The 32-year-old man has not been charged.
The Minneapolis Police Department declined to comment on the case, citing the active investigation.
The news comes amid rising fears of right-wing agitators purposefully stoking violence at protests. Last month, federal prosecutors charged supporters of the right-wing “boogaloo boys” movement in incidents including the killing of a security officer at a federal courthouse and plotting firebombs and explosives at a government building and peaceful protests — all with the aim of stoking racial conflict.

The second thing to come to mind is the 8 year old black girl killed by armed "protesters" at Rayshaun's Wendys.
Also, where were all these “incidents?” I remember Steve Carrillo, but that was a stretch linking him to the mythical “boogaloos.” Where were the bombs planted?

Local property crimes and assaults on local citizens are handled by local law enforcement officers.
Has Pep Boys been nationalized?
If not, STFU.

You make @Hustlin_Owl look halfway intelligent.
A world could exist that some riots are stirred up by the left and some by your alt right buddies. The article says that particular protest turned violent after protesters followed the lead of the white supremacist.
If you spent the same amount of effort trying to dig up information to absolve white supremacists as you did into critical thinking, you might get somewhere in life.
