The real instigators of violence at protests revealed

Twitler's brown shirts. Robert's Reich FB post follows commenting on this article. Makes sense for a fascist to create the violence so he can blame it on the protesters and institute martial law. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.

"Leaked chat logs from an Oregon right-wing militia group detail members’ discussions about stockpiling arms and ammunition, strategizing about how to spark violence at protests, and even advocating for attacking Democratic politicians. One of the group’s most outspoken members advised the others to ignore weapons statutes and encouraged them to bring bats, mace, and stun guns to protests. Another member told group members not to freeze paintballs for maximum damage, but rather to invest in 'glass breaker balls that are rubber coated metal.' And yet another member advocated for 'taking care of the justice ourselves' by going after “our DA and then move on to the governor.”
 
"Meanwhile, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf testified to senators yesterday that white supremacist extremists pose the 'most persistent and lethal threat' when it comes to domestic terrorism. Make no mistake: Trump is fueling the rise in right-wing extremism and political violence. The real threat to law and order is not Black Lives Matter protesters taking to the streets to demand justice for Breonna Taylor, as Trump claims — it’s the far-right militia members and vigilantes he is actively encouraging."
