On his way home from a protest Friday night in Minneapolis, Jonathan Turner Bargen encountered a white man in a red pickup truck. The man was carrying an assault rifle and a handgun, Turner Bargen said. Then he noticed a symbol from the far-right militia group Three Percenters affixed to the truck. “I circled back and took pictures of the vehicle. I was concerned about why they were present at the downtown protest, and had no idea who to notify,” said Turner Bargen in an email to MPR News. State officials, protesters and residents say they’re alarmed by the presence

What fantastic reporting! They claim they took a picture of the 3%er's truck but don't post it. This is a sniveling attempt to "Jedi Mind Trick" the weak minded away from the countless pictures of swarms of local black thugs looting from coast to coast. I do think there was an organized outside effort, and it was AntiFa.

But then, we can always "go to the video" and see for ourselves. Not only see, but listen to their vile language.

FTA "The man was carrying an assault rifle and a handgun, Turner Bargen said. ...“I circled back and took pictures of the vehicle. I was concerned about why they were present at the downtown protest, and had no idea who to notify,” said Turner Bargen in an email to MPR News."
Let me get this straight this loon drives past a pickup truck in his car and he can see the driver of the truck is "carrying an assault rifle and a handgun"! How? With x ray vision? The driver of the truck had his rifle slinged over his shoulder while driving and waving his handgun? Not possible! He's so rattled by the "symbol from the far-right militia group Three Percenters affixed to the truck." that he notifies not the police but the local public radio station! "Turner Bargen, who saw a truck with a Three Percenters symbol on it, said he was afraid to confront the person, and afraid to call the police because he didn’t want an innocent person to get hurt by a police department that he no longer trusts." This is such BS! The "white dudes" destroying everything are Antifa not "far-right activists and fringe libertarian groups are seizing on the instability to provoke violence and destruction." More fake new unbelievable!

Post pictures, Turner, or it didn't happen.
I cannot imagine that one of these bedwetters that listens to MPR/NPR would have the stones to circle back and take pictures of a truck with what he claims was a visibly armed "white supremacist" just so he could get his 15 minutes on...the radio...?

There are those fomenting violence from the outside and inside, but the "Leaders" in the city and state are allowing it to continue because of their incompetence.

Pretty easy to solve this one. Just send out word that no locals are "protesting" tonight. That way, when everyone who shows up is in a "pickup truck" and is white they can just arrest everyone. Btw, it's a good thing the racists all drive pickups. If they start driving 4 door sedans the left will have no way to identify them!

This fits the usual liberal narative. White man with gun bad. Must be doing evil. But quotas running around unarmed filmed over and over again busting windows, looting or just beating the crap out of a white guy or copis 'peaceful protesters'. Now if this were Texas, liberals might confused armed white guy in a riot with 'One riot, one Ranger'.

Another going off in the absence of knowledge. Have never heard of three percenters before, but their web site is anti violence
From it
he Three Percenters - Original’ is a national organization made up of patriotic citizens who love their country, their freedoms, and their liberty. We are committed to standing against and exposing corruption and injustice.
We are NOT a militia. However, we do have meetings on local levels. These meetings are to help members network together and to learn from each other. Being a Three Percenter is more of a way of life rather than a club to join. As such, there are no membership fees or dues and we will not charge people to participate in a movement that defends civil liberties. However, some events may be held at facilities that require admission. This can be paid individually, as a group, or through a legal means of fundraising. Operational costs (Website hosting, forum, domains, store, etc) are paid for privately by the National Leader with aid from proceeds from the online store. Mostly, we are an “open source community” meaning, we help each other and try not to rely on third parties or institutions that cost money for our operations. We consist exclusively of volunteers and no member at any level is on any payroll provided by our organization.
We are NOT anti-government. In fact, we are very pro-government, so long as the government abides by the Constitution, doesn't overstep its bounds, and remains “for the people and by the people”. Our goal is to utilize the failsafes put in place by our founders to rein in an overreaching government and push back against tyranny. We are working to preserve the intent of our government as designed. We do not intend to implement our own government. There is often a misconception that we are wanting to overthrow the government. This is simply not true and a false rumor to try and paint our movement as anti-government.
We do not seek to incite a revolution. However, we will defend ourselves when necessary. We are not here to create violence. Violence should always be a last resort and even then should only be defensive in nature

"Who you gonna believe? Your lying eyes?" There are plenty of videos from the riots, and while I have seen hundreds of people fitting the Antifa profile, pasty-white, greasy-haired, wearing all black clothing, I have yet to see one white supremacist. In fact, I submit if a white supremacist showed up they would be beaten to a pulp. The blatant lying by the far left media is breath-taking.

Where is the FBI? Why haven't they infiltrated Antifa - - and choked off their terrorist activities?
Where is Fey Wray? Has anyone seen him since these terrorist riots started? And where are the "99% rank-and-file" - - who are supposedly devoted to doing their jobs?
And - - why is no one other than myself asking these questions?

This guy is obivously a lying POS. He wouldn't know a rifle from a pistol if his life depended on it. NPR accepts this as fact without any fact checking. I dont understand this. All of a sudden supposed white nationalst groups are showing up with names that no one has ever heard of. Another damned dem trick, to keep the heat off of them and their ilk. I am sick of this!

Rome is burning while authorities are fiddling around trying to figure out whom to blame: insiders or outsiders, black or white, right or left-wing, employed or unemployed, truth-sayers or liars, urban or rural, male or female, peaceful or violent, socialist or capitalist, rich or poor, Trump supporters or those who detest him, Vietnamese or Hmong, young or old, Somali or or or or or. Geez. It just HAS TO BE some social identity thing, doesn't it. This tragedyt HAS TO BE made political, doesn't it.
All this, while the city burns.
I wish all Americans were required to watch the classic Japanese film "Rashomon." Multiple people from various walks of life witness the exact same crime and all arrive at completely different solutions.

This has fake news written all over it. He could read a little sticker but not the plate number? The man had an assault rifle and a handgun visible if he was up to no good? A white man of course. All of the armed people were white and, if not fictional, were probably protecting businesses. If it was a hostile militia there would have been hundreds of dead looters. Please.
Bring your sick show out here to flyover country if you want to see armed white men.

Crappy story and writing skills trying to deflect from Antifa engaging in inciting all the violence along with local blacks doing early Christmas shopping.

This reads like a high school freshman attempt at writing a fictional story and not a very good one at that. I swear the writers of this POS are not from this country. The stilted language, the make-believe characters, the very stupidity of the situations described cannot be anything but an ignorant attempt to inflame an audience of useful idiots.

In Nashville these thugs are being paid $500 to riot and burn things down. They are answering Craigslist ads calling for "crisis actors", under the ruse of filming a documentary. Bloodchilling stuff.

Oh, its that red pick up truck with the 3 Percenters sign on the door that can be seen in all of the television video of the riots. C'mon, you've all seen it. NPR needed 7 'reporters' on this story to point the finger at the right wing boogie men. They are amazing.

If anyone from our side was in the middle of this, I have no doubt they were on protection detail, not on the side of the rioters. This is a RIOT, not a protest. Protesters don't selectively burn targets, not like Marxist rioters do.

Face it, at some point some white person with a gun will be threatened enough by these raging mobs to open fire in self defense. Also, "white supremacists" do exist, though they comprise a tiny, insignificant number of people, in little groups most of us have never even heard of except for Leftist propaganda mongers, who pretend everybody on the right secretly belong to these groups. At some point it's likely one of these little groups will confront Antifa mobs. This isn't going away. It's the Democrats' last chance for power. Trump will have to declare martial law before this is over. The revolution has begun. Which side are your friends on? Here in Portland, I'm very uneasy, to say the least.

May be some outsiders, but most are the usual antifa thugs and black lives matters punks, emboldened by a cowardly mayor and governor who basically have said "Let 'er rip!" and the son of the state AG is supporting antifa thugs.
