It's official, confirmed by law enforcement in Virginia. A group of White Supremacists disguised themselves as Black Lives Matter protesters to disrupt a peaceful protest, have been arrested.
“There were white supremacists marching under the banner of Black Lives Matter, an attempt to undermine an otherwise overwhelmingly peaceful movement toward social justice,” Richmond Virginia mayor Levar Stoney said.
The news report indicates that the mayor "thanked Black Lives Matter protesters for trying to stop the white supremacists from provoking violence and destruction." Some of the white supremacists were charged with felony assault on a law enforcement officer and felony possession of a firearm while rioting.
Who would've thunk? White supremacists infiltrating the protests to instigate riots. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, shocked NOT.
