I'm going to voice some concern over this because I believe time will reveal there's much more to this story.
I've heard the term "Boogaloo" ( as well as TEOTWAWKI, and others) thrown about on ranges, in gun stores, and on shooting/"prepping" forums for YEARS. It's always been associated with the projected "collapse of society", or any other event that widely and severely alters "reality" in terms of supply chains, the rule of law, and basic good order. Most of the people associated are just good, law-abiding people trying to take some control of their possible fates, and ensure their "plan" for survival is a little more in-depth than putting a brown paper sack over their head and waiting for the end. I've never come across anyone convinced the "best defense" was creating the very conditions for how such a disaster may come about.
Does that discount any of the recent events or allegations to the contrary? Of course not... I'm quite certain there are some people who have fevered dreams of rising from obscurity to "status" by aspiring to be the next "freedom fighter" leader or operative. Where these are identified, they should be (and apparently are) dealt with.
What concerns me is that whether by accident, or design... this is going to be used to portray every private citizen with perfectly legal supplies, equipment, arms, and training as a potential "domestic terrorist". There's not so fine a line as it may seem between the criminally-motivated... and the responsibly prepared. If any of the many (or several) factions flirting with all-out civil war ever get what they seem to want... we may be glad a few of our fellow citizens had such foresight.

Far right, LOL! Have you actually heard any of us on the right actually advocating the US government be overthrown? It seems someone in the media is spreading propaganda and fear. Creating fear is a means of control. What are you or the media you follow afraid of?
"boogaloo bois" seek to incite, the "boogaloo": a second American Civil War that will overthrow the United States government.

Look dude, I’m not saying you want to overthrow the government, I’m saying if I took some of your comments and put his face on them no one would notice a difference. And like him, you are one the *least* willing people I’ve ever seen to call out your own side’s bad actors.

You haven't been here long enough. I've called out mcconnel and the rest of the career politicians quite a bit. Stop trolling, you don't know me.

Cpl (Join to see) ...right. Sure. You keep doing those logical contortions my man. Whether you think these guys are part of you or not, *they* say they are a part of you, and you’re just trying to deny they exist. “Very good people on both sides” huh?
