We've talked about this group here before. Some say they are agents provocateur, others that they are just a group of knuckleheads. Khaki tac pants and navy blue shirts are kind of the unofficial uniform of feds involved in LE, emergency response, etc. I would imagine even dumb fed agents would find another "uniform". Add in the Home Depot plastic shields, and I tend toward "knuckleheads".
All that said, "conspiracy to riot"? That's kind of a thought crime. Given the information I've seen in the news thus far, I see no evidence past "counter-protester". It seems more like the local cops just wanted to stop potential fights before they started, and as usual, the non-leftist group was the one picked on.
I've been seeing a bit of local news regarding this event in the last week, and many, many people, while not caring about previous lgbtqxyz events, were not happy with this one. Way too much transvesite-child interaction planned, as well as a satanic church that was going to "unbaptize" people. Maybe if the homos didn't decide to go overboard, they wouldn't have grabbed the attention of counter groups.
Anyway, shouldn't they be arresting everyone involved in "Shutdown DC" right about now?
