White supremacists disguised as Black Lives Matter supporters triggered riots, Richmond mayor says
|
 [Washington Examiner] Undercover white supremacists are to blame for the riots that took place during the Black Lives Matter protests in Richmond, Virginia, according to Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney.
Stoney said on Sunday that white supremacists were "marching under the banner of Black Lives Matter" during the demonstrations and led the way when the protests devolved into riots.
"Last night, that [violence] reared its ugly head right here in the City of Richmond ... We saw some violent actions, violent protests, spearheaded by white supremacists. And frankly, it was disgusting. Disgusting. As they held plywood shields that read, 'BLM,' these folks toured areas of damage downtown, The Fan, breaking windows, tagging private property with hateful language," Stoney said.
Police announced on Monday that they believe undercover white supremacists led a group of rioters that cut down police tape over the weekend and rushed a police station, eventually setting a dump truck on fire outside the station. Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith said he thinks the instigators were linked to the Boogaloo boys, a right-wing anarchist group that has ties to white supremacy. He also said that left-wing antifa protesters were involved in the violence.
"We have identified some individuals who have been seen with the Boogaloo boys and some antifa groups around the area," Smith said. "The majority of those individuals who were there last night were Caucasian."
Stoney thanked the Black Lives Matter protesters who remained peaceful and did not follow the lead of the instigators.
"As I began with, I want to send a thanks to the BLM protesters on the ground who decried the white supremacists once they were identified. I'm thankful to you for drawing the line and sticking up not just for the sanctity of your movement, but also the safety of your fellow Richmonders that you marched alongside as well," he said.
| Not far from Charlottesville, Virginia, where Redneck Revolt/John Brown Gun Club — they call itself Antifa’s militia wing — played the same game of pretending to be white supremacists harming people during the riots there in 2017 |
