    “This was the first fire that set off a string of fires and looting throughout the precinct and the rest of the city,” police arson investigator Erika Christensen wrote in a search warrant affidavit filed this week in court. “Until the actions of the person your affiant has been calling ‘Umbrella man,’ the protests had been relatively peaceful. The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension. Your affiant believes that this individual’s sole aim was to incite violence.”

    The masked man intended to incite further racial tension in the demonstrations that had remained peaceful to that point, but the resulting violence left two people dead and caused an estimated $500 million in property damage.


    If you can understand that, I can't help you.

    But it's important to remember that much of the human waste out on the streets looting and rioting couldn't really be connected to any particular political ideology, left, right or center. That human waste wouldn't know the first thing about race relations, let alone actually CARE about it.

    Did I ask how it makes sense, or did I ask why the hell is this significant?

    If you understand one, you understand the other. If you think it is insignificant or irrelevant, please explain why.

    Hard to believe this punk has ties to 2 different MC’s, because the 4th rule of the Hells Angels is;

    4) Don’t Join Another Gang Or Club

    The Angels expect absolute loyalty from their members, so don’t even think about joining another gang. Their website warns, “Never combine your support to Hells Angels with other clubs, street gangs, or others if you are unaware of the relationship between those others and the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.”

    Breaking windows then running away to avoid the questioning from a man of color is your definition of “inciting further racial tension”? Damn, then what’s your definition of racism? Allowing the white runner a 10 yard head start in the 100 meter dash?

    Exactly, supposedly the police gave a descriptive including age, race and gang affiliations but no name. I’m surprised the police description didn’t include homeboy’s sexual preference.

    Actually, it was the opinion of the arson investigator, but please - keep digging that hole.

    Why are authoritarian regressives ignoring the right-wing rioters using left-wing protest as cover?

    No, Americans are that easy to "rowl up" (or even rile up).

    So you’re saying that the act of Umbrella Man breaking 3 storefront windows is the foundation for the $500 million worth of damage to downtown Minneapolis? Umbrella Man is a p*ssy. When confronted by a man of color 1/2 his size Umbrella Man runs away. And we’re suppose to believe Umbrella Man is a white supremacist HAMC member? That’s an asinine conclusion. I’m more inclined to believe Umbrella Man is a 32 year old progressive millennial that still lives in mom’s basement. Do your eyes see Umbrella Man as a hard core Hells Angel white supremacist as the thread title suggests? If so, explain.

    Its absolutely part of the bigger picture of agitators inciting violence and planting BS. This is not new.

    You’re friggin kidding me. A professional arson investigator honestly believes Umbrella Man’s act of breaking 3 storefront windows in broad daylight then running away from a man 1/2 his size is the foundation for half a billion dollars in damage?

    Damn, is it just me or is this forum becoming more ignorant and naive by the minute?

    Not its not really surprising the fake news media would try to conjure up some racist white scapegoat to justify the BLM campaign events aka riots, arsons, looting sprees, etc.

    You should at least give it a look. It's really entertaining to see what right-wingers take as gospel because some idiot put it on Twitter. Makes your assertion about left-wingers and twitter look more than a little idiotic...
