boogaloo the -- the boogaloo network appears to be largely antigovernment, constantly changing and drawing followers from the fringes of many different extremist ideologies. the common thread is the desire to accelerate society toward a second civil war. that means that many of them are driven to commit violence. it is imperative the department of homeland security and other fellow agencies immediately devote resources toward understanding and confronting these emerging threats. i understand that this is a difficult issue, but it is not acceptable for dhs to remain in the dark. law enforcement officials made a top target of these individuals and extremists which means that it is even more urgent for dhs to produce and disseminate localation to state and law enforcement so they can stay ahead of the threat. resources and attention must be appropriately allocated. we need to follow the threat. we should not be swayed by political whims. it goes without saying that property damage and any and all violence linked to antifa should be condemned. public reporting, arrest records, the government's

ae boogaloo group, it is dress code, it is a jargon. the people who belong to it came from other extremist groups usually on facebook. it might have been militia, a white supremacy they picked it up somewhere and donned that hawaiian shirt, and yet they are treated as a separate movement , and you're ignoring the underlying areas that they came from. they have a page with 551,000 followers. they say some pretty violent things in the comments. i can report this to facebook. i have never had one deleted. i've had death threats on facebook that were quite explicit. again, i can report them and nothing happens. unless there is a lot of attention paid to the social media company, they don't really have incentive to do anything at all. so it's not really up to civil rights groups or even the news to be able to monitor all of these things, so there has to be some external group, some committee, something, that -- to can provide accountability and keep an eye on it. rep. thompson: well, we are looking at it, and the leader has taken the leaders

most boogaloo members are libertarian anarchists who hate cops. the goal is to hasten the collapse of the government through attacks on police. these are the major players, how they react to current events raises many red flags. i'm worried that any attempt to pass gun-control regulation could trigger violence. this could include red flag laws, bans on certain types of rifles or any legislation that is viewed as a foot the door leading to gun confiscation. another potential issue is the covid-19 pandemic which is placing significant stress on extremist groups. if states return to lockdown status, i am concerned that individuals and small groups will lash out quietly against the government, law enforcement, medical professionals, essential workers, contact tracers and medical infrastructure. some militants driven by conspiracy theories have already turned to armed resistance and have taken up guns to protect business owners who want to violate stay-at-home orders. michigan has been a hotspot for such activity, and in may the state had to cancel leg

boogaloo is there were derived from 1980 so i don't know a great deal about that but boogaloo is essentiallyabout civil war it's about the time has come for civil war in america. these people are not as distinct, let us say, from the old to write in that white nationalism isn't their explicit ideology. their ideology is about guns. these are essentially gun rights activists who been extreme for many years. when they've gone with this moment is sometimes called acceleration is him which is the idea that their time has come. the moment is ripe for the boogaloo as it's now called. the coming of the american civil war. interesting thing an important point to understand about the boogaloo boys as they called themselves. not only are they gun rights extremists not only talking about civil war but very fundamental to them as being anti-police. so that the presence of police is a provocation to them as these demonstrations have gone on. let me draw the analogy here or the way in which as with the right point of view this kind of dovetails a little bit with what we are getting from the trump administ
