For all the caterwauling from Trump and his flunkies about Antifa and Black Lives Matter violence, it always turns out that it’s more projection than anything:
A man who had been part of a far-right group that wants to foment a civil war admitted in federal court Thursday he traveled to Minneapolis from the San Antonio area to sow chaos after the police murder of George Floyd.
Ivan Harrison Hunter, 24, of Boerne, Texas, pleaded guilty to a single count of rioting. The charge carries a maximum prison term of five years. Hunter admitted that he fired 13 rounds from an AK-47-style rifle into the 3rd precinct police station on May 28, 2020.
After shooting at the building, Hunter was recorded on video high-fiving another person and yelling “Justice for Floyd!” Investigators matched the skull mask Hunter was wearing in the video to a photo on his Facebook page.
I know it is a cliche to say this, but I can’t help it: imagine if this guy was a Muslim who had been radicalized online and did what he did?
Do you think he would have been charged with “rioting?” Yeah, I don’t either. I suspect they’d put him in jail and throw away the key. He fired 13 rounds from an assault rifle into a police station!
Update: More terrorists. This time police officers and GOP officials.
