The unidentified demonstrator allegedly threw rocks at law enforcement and damaged government vehicles, the FBI said.

As tense anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles enter their fourth day, federal officers have ramped up law enforcement’s response – and have added one protester to the FBI’s ‘Most Wanted list.’

The unidentified demonstrator has been accused of assaulting a federal officer and damaging government property during Saturday’s protest in Paramount, a city 30 miles south of Los Angeles.

The suspect allegedly threw rocks at law enforcement on Alondra Boulevard around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, “injuring a federal officer and damaging government vehicles,” according to the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. It was not immediately clear whether the officer was injured or the extent of the damage.

    So does that mean the cops who were busting out their own cruiser windows the other day are also on that list?

    The FBI is asking the public for help identifying a man at the Los Angeles protests against ICE whom the agency has put on its ‘Most Wanted list. ‘ (FBI)

    How about you go fuck yourself instead.

      Throwing rocks, starting fires, and initiating violence? I’d say there’s a much better than 50% chance that this is someone who came to instigate violence rather that support the protest. If he’s ever arrested, I’d bet money that he turns out to have a pardon from Trump in his history or a ProudBoy tat or both.

    The same FBI that literally just confirmed they wouldn’t be investigating Americans belonging to an international neo Nazi militia until they actually commit an act of terrorism, is now putting people that committed vandalism on its “most wanted” list. Priorities.

    Neo-Nazi group ‘actively seeking to grow in US’ with planned paramilitary training event

    In response to queries about the Base’s latest movements, the FBI told the Guardian that it only investigates people who have or are planning to commit a federal crime and pose “a threat to national security”.

    How about the cop who decided to pop a (right leaning apparently!) Australian reporter from close range with a rubber bullet, just for shits and giggles?

    So now we know, 9/11 and property damage are roughly equivalent in the eyes of the FBI. Makes a weird incentive to be more extreme in protests right? Like, if throwing rocks at a cop car and killing 3000 people plus demolishing the 2 largest buildings in the US and also a bunch of infrastructure and other buildings around it and 2 planes, lands you in the same list…

        Given that most of the people arrested for violence during the George Floyd protests turned out to be right winger accelerationists … It’s not exactly a stretch

            The random people they picked up had charges dropped after the arrest. I’m talking about the actual convictions.

            My dude

            Also, learn what the word most means. Finding a could other examples doesn’t make me wrong.

              You’re right, you are the one making bold claims and so the burden of proof is on you. You got any?

                  Did you read your sources? They don’t say what you think they do.

                  • From the AP article you linked:

                  Of more than 300 arrested, there are about 286 defendants ___ Some of those facing charges undoubtedly share far-left and anti-government views. Far-right protesters also have been arrested and charged. ___ But many have had no previous run-ins with the law and no apparent ties to antifa, the umbrella term for leftist militant groups that Trump has said he wants to declare a terrorist organization.

                  In the classic misguided “journalistic neutrality” it does put additional emphasis on the 6 instances of “far-right extremism” a incidence rate of 2.1%. Do you believe that 2.1% is a majority?

                  • From the guardian article:

                  Hunter would later post multiple messages on Facebook bragging of his actions in Minneapolis on the night of 28 May and morning of 29 May, writing, “I set fire to that precinct with the Black community,” and, “My mom would call the FBI if she knew.”

                  “I’ve burned police stations with Black Panthers in Minneapolis,” he claimed in one message, and in another, “The BLM protesters in Minneapolis loved me.”

                  He wasn’t a lone actor trying to pin it on them, he was participating in an action with them.

                  • From the KansasCity article:

                  While Kansas City police haven’t made any arrests in the May 30 arson incident and say they haven’t seen direct evidence of extremists trying to disrupt the local protests,

                  Tere are so many agendas at play that it’s hard to tell who’s on what side. In some cases, they say they’re seeing a bizarre alignment between those on the far right, such as militias and the Boogalooers, and Black Lives Matter advocates protesting the death of George Floyd, with anger at police and the government being the common thread.

                  Which if you stopped to read for a second you would understand why the boogaloo boys specifically had real skin in the game with the protests against police brutality and why they wear Hawaiian shirts bearing the names of people killed in confrontations with police.

        Not op, but that’s is based on past events (both that the gov & various departments/agencies literally did that and that American protesters are relatively tame & opposed to violence, again, ‘relatively’).

        So a reasonable guess/question (I take it that the “75%” is there for comedic reasons).

          Yes, and if you read further into the actions/tactics of those various departments/agencies you’ll discover that propogating the myth of the “outside agitator” is a core part of those tactics.

          It’s not a reasonable guess, it’s propogating propoganda based on half truths.
