Boogaloo Member charged (click here)

Steven Carrillo, a California man who was charged with murder after he ambushed two Santa Cruz County deputies, scrawled phrases tied to an online far-right extremist movement in blood on a car shortly before he was detained.

Carrillo killed Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller, critically injured another deputy and threw pipe bombs at police on June 6th, Santa Cruz District Attorney Jeffrey S. Rosell alleged on Thursday.

Before he was apprehended, Carrillo scrawled the word “boog” and “I became unreasonable” in blood on the hood of a car. “Boog” is short for boogaloo, a far-right anti-government movement that began on the extremist site 4chan and aims to start a second American civil war.

Heemeyer is known by the nickname Killdozer in extremist groups online and is frequently quoted in Boogaloo Discord chats and Facebook groups.

“Heemeyer is revered in Boogaloo groups,” said Megan Squire, a computer science professor at Elon University who tracks online extremism and is monitoring several private Boogaloo groups online.

How many of these type scumbags are using the cover of peaceful protests, to foment their racism through violence, so that some folks...will blame ALL peaceful protestors?

Here's hoping that the police can discover and apprehend ALL of those who are doing the looting and violence...including these types.

I am not a marcher. I think it is a waste of time. Peaceful marchers are almost an oxymoron. Most people get self righteous-er and more angry and that doesn't help anything. What usually divides us? Is it color? Or is it something else? Now people are getting all mean and judgmental toward people who are white and accuse them of "systemic racism." I bet you a dollar a lot of hands would go up behind computers reading this, if I asked if you went to see just WHAT "systemic racism" is. Most of us want to be good people. Most people are not haters of other races. Most of us who are older are trying to keep our hearts and minds open. Most of us consider all arguments. One of the worst things that can happen to humans is to think they know better than others what is right.

I haven't ever in my life heard of a Boogaloo. Has anyone else reading this? I know not one soul in my eighty years who would ever consider KKK people anything but criminals.

Those who did it so that you, as a female, could have the right to vote...would totally disagree.

There's WAAAAY too much of that going around.

Particularly if there's a concerted effort, to gang up, bash and attack...those that don't think exactly as we do.

Just an FYI, and research will relate their incitements

There is not one of us who are innocent. Some have larger groups of friends. Maybe that is the reason for "tribes". I am just trying to think...........Maybe what our parents taught us as little children is what guides us in some way forever, or didn't teach us. Maybe it is a genetic thing that makes us choose certain things and people and distance ourselves from others. Every woman in our family is a strong woman and none of them have married men who didn't like strong women. The men are strong themselves and kind. This goes back to our great grandmother. If voting for women hadn't been made a law, our granddaughter would have been working on it, just like those other gals before her. She is a brilliant woman with the gift of words.....and patience. I think she has found a good partner. That makes it all the nicer.

Ignoring those people who think they already know it all and refuse to do any meaningful research, others will instead want to keep learning/increasing their knowledge...by constantly seeking (through a variety of legitimate sources) to keep up with what is really happening.

Those are the folks who are not surprised...these groups exist.

I have to admit though, even I was shocked...at this part of your link.

The three men previously served in the US Navy, Army, and Air Force, according to the filing.

THAT...is very concerning.

That is surprising. To me. But things have changed in all sorts of ways. Younger people have not as much respect for the military as older people. We lived/live in different times and have different criteria for what is considered a hero.

I think for some the absence of a bad record is an honorable thing, and for others to achieve something mankind was lacking or needed brings honor. For others raising children who are responsible and kind and do not burden anyone unnecessarily are heroes and heroines. I have not met many heroes, but I knew they were real heroes when I met them. Some have had disabilities and some have had superior abilities. Some are unknown to the big world but only known and cherished by a select few. Some of my heroes have died. (way too many and too often anymore) I look forward to meeting more heroes before I leave.

That will be difficult for the defunded police to do. Perhaps a social worker can have a talk with the scumbags?

Guess it depends on how you wish to define "defund". Most understand,,,,some find it convenient to be literal on this subject, but general and non specific on others.

Can you please stop reducing the font sizes in your posts? Sometimes they are ridiculously difficult to read! Pretty please?? The weird color combos don't exactly help either...

I don't reduce ANY fonts.

I'm not even sure how you could go below the default size (1).

I either leave them as they are set up under the default of TOTV (1) for me...or I make them larger (2-5).

[Fredman]

Agree with Roscoe

It doesn't appear that the default size is (1) for anyone else. This is (4) - my & most others' apparent default. This is (3) This is (2) and this is (1) which much of you posts appear in. Not trying to argue, just asking if you could make what you post more readable for many of us! Thanks!

I wrote the TOTV Team to ask them to look into the settings on my account, because there have been a few people that have said the same thing.

This is 1 for me. (same as the above sentence)

This is 2 for me.

This is 3 for me.

This is 4 for me.

This is 5 for me.

This is 6 for me.

If you quote my post, you should be able to see what I'm saying.

If you're showing a different size, would love to hear how (and what) you're seeing that's different.

BTW - Your standard default, shows as 1 to me...NOT 4.

Thank you.

See below. Not sure why I'm helping. Sometimes not being able to read responses is preferred...
