Popped into this thread hoping to find this. It was all that I hoped for.
Also just literal lol at the "antifa shooter" turning out to be a ****ing PINKERTON subcontractor. How did no one tell me we still had PINKERTONS!?!?!?

Someone unlicensed did a job in America? OMG someone alert the media
It's almost like when you subout a subcontract, you can wind up getting people with quesitonable license. I knew I should have questioned the plumber who was confusing pex with hex.

Correct
Evidence and facts are a funny thing.
I know it must suck that more and more of your judgments in real time are being shown to be laughable.

When you lose as much as these people they have to really celebrate the perceived victories. I mean, no, please dont speak bad of the FBI. It would just break my heart.

Mr. Garbin cooperated extensively with the prosecutors, who called his “wide-ranging insider’s view” a significant contribution to the case. Among other issues, he testified about plans to deploy a homemade explosive device as well as other illegal weapons. His testimony resulted in added federal charges being brought against three of the men in April. The extent of Mr. Garbin’s cooperation led officials to move him to a different prison from the others, prosecutors said in court papers.
On Wednesday, Mr. Garbin apologized to Ms. Whitmer and her family for the “fear and stress” that he caused.

Federal prosecutors had asked for a nine-year sentence for Mr. Garbin. Mr. Garbin and most of the men in the Michigan case were inspired by the so-called boogaloo movement, the authorities say.
Boogaloo followers — the name is drawn from a cult film — believe that the United States is on the brink of a civil war that devotees seek to accelerate.
“Such accelerationist groups are widespread and proliferating,” federal prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memorandum, using the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 as an example of the potential for chaos.
A strong sentence would discourage imitators, the prosecutors wrote, while “an insufficient sentence will encourage such groups to plot and prepare.”
Several people associated with the loosely affiliated boogaloo movement have been arrested around the country on charges linked to different plots.
In California, Steven Carrillo, an active-duty Air Force sergeant, pleaded not guilty and awaits trial in the shooting death of a federal security officer outside a courthouse in Oakland in May 2020 as well as the killing of a sheriff’s deputy in Santa Cruz County a few days later.
During the shootout that led to his arrest, Sergeant Carrillo used his own blood to scrawl “Boog” and other phrases linked to the movement on the hood of a car he had stolen. On Monday, one of four members of the anti-government Grizzly Scouts paramilitary group linked to Mr. Carrillo pleaded guilty in federal court in California to destroying evidence in the case.
In Las Vegas, three boogaloo followers who were arrested in May 2020 are expected to go on trial in January. They are accused of trying to incite violence after plotting to throw firebombs during a Black Lives Matter protest. They also face state terrorism charges.
