I do not dabble in the peddling of conspiracies or shaky conjecture. What I [i]do[/i] deal with is threat assessment and information related to. When you see and note identifiers that suggest there is more in play than initially observed, let alone reported, you dig deeper and look at the scenario in increasing layers further and further out.

There is [i]no[/i] debate actual Nazis and Klansmen were present and involved to varying degrees, but there is significant evidence plainly visible to note this is outside the norm. We had a Guild member in part refer to that in this very thread. There is too much present to just say "Nazis, actual Nazis, were being evil and attacked people unprovoked." when the reality is, is that the Alt-Left had plants and actors on both sides helping to stir the metaphorical pot. I have no doubt that once fists were thrown the Klansmen or supremacists joined in or the like, but none of this should have happened to begin with.

Organizing people to start a riot, let alone paying some of them, to further your political movtives is inexcusable. Antifa has already enough to answer for, as do the Klu Klux Klan, Neo-Nazi movement, et cetera. Assaulting reporters, as even Jake Tapper noted via Twitter, getting into disorderly fights and ultimately agitating a riot that led to a possible murder, if not manslaughter, should be put under intense scrutiny. So much scrutiny that there is [i]no[/i] room to ignore any evidence collected.

And an "inside job" this is not. Even if there were service members present, which there are likely to be by raw statistics, they were representing their own interests. If we held the same standard in reverse, the Dallas police shooting committed by Micah Johnson would also be a "inside job" because he was a reservist.
