      This quick little one-off:

      Walz would fully mobilize the National Guard, speak with Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and acknowledge that the situation had gotten worse because “outside agitators” had entered the region.

      People on the ground at the time were saying that groups of boogaloo boys were driving around all that first night, lighting fires in random places and brandishing rifles at people who tried to stop them. IDK if that never got reported in the news because they couldn’t verify it, or because it wasn’t true, but that’s what people were saying at the time.

        Right but it’s 2024 now and the article I shared even points to the police station situation and one of these guys was charged. So I guess I’m just trying to figure out if they are talking about the same incident and simply don’t know about this, or if it was a different one.

        Idk maybe I’m just confused/wrong here.
