Thread: Protest for #BlackLivesMatter after murder of #GeorgeFloyd has been hijacked by White Supremacists (like Mark Somers-Nashville Courthouse fire), Anarchists (like Legba Carrefour DC), MAGA types (attack/run over with cars) & some foreign actors (instigate/vandalize). 1/7

..Mark Somers; White Supremacist who started the Nashville Courthouse fire is not doing this on his own. There are many such racists who are sabotaging the #BLM and #GeorgeFloyd protest. Some in the open and some with obvious disguises. 2/7

..Legba Carrefour: Self-proclaimed Anarchist. Was breaking concrete to use as projectiles. He was turned over to police by protestors. Though they aren’t racist, the actions of anarchists are hurting the current protests. 3/7

..Possible foreign actors. This may or may not be accurate but here are two examples..the white girls who were confronted when they were vandalizing Starbucks property with #BLM graffiti..listen to their accents. These outside rioters scurried off when confronted. 4/7

..And listen to this white guy who was trying to get protestors to flip a truck (while on @Twitch ). In both instances, the peaceful protestors called them out and these rioters ran off. There are many other such examples. 5/7

..Then you have other #Randos. Just walking around breaking things and causing disruptions. Like the Masked Autozone white guy. Peaceful protestors called him out. And he ran off. Many theories about these instigators. I just know they are not protesting for #BlackLivesMatter 6/7

..Another one of those lone wolf white #Randos rioting and peaceful protestors called him out. Again.. this guy is not protesting for justice for #GeorgeFloyd not #BLM 7/7

Update: the guy in thread 7/7; 20 yr old Brian Bartels. Arrest warrant issued for him in Pittsburgh.. https://twitter.com/jjmacnab/status/1267488962416787459?s=21 https://twitter.com/jjmacnab/status/1267488962416787459
