Three suspects are in custody on terror charges in an alleged right-wing conspiracy to spark violence during protests in Las Vegas, prosecutors say.

LAS VEGAS — Three Nevada men with ties to a loose movement of right-wing extremists advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government have been arrested on terrorism-related charges in what authorities say was a conspiracy to spark violence during recent protests in Las Vegas.

Federal prosecutors say the three white men with U.S. military experience are accused of conspiring to carry out a plan that began in April in conjunction with protests to reopen businesses closed because of the coronavirus and later sought to capitalize on protests over the death of a Minneapolis man in police custody.

The complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas on Wednesday said they self-identified as part of the “boogaloo” movement, which U.S. prosecutors said in the document is “a term used by extremists to signify coming civil war and/or fall of civilization.” Stephen T. Parshall, 35, Andrew T. Lynam Jr., 23, and William L. Loomis, 40, were being held on $1 million bond each in the Clark County jail Wednesday, according to court records.

Each currently faces two federal charges — conspiracy to damage and destroy by fire and explosive, and possession of unregistered firearms — along with multiple terrorism-related state charges.Ken Ritter in Las Vegas contributed to this report. Sonner reported form Reno.

By definition, the only people who should be afraid of ANTIFA are the Facist.

Right wing groups are responseble for over 70% of those killed on American soil. And ANTIFA. Are villified NYT he Trump administration for fighting fascism, says it all.

Shocked and awed (not) by another alleged right wing conspiracy!

JuliusGoat

'Good afternoon fellow protesters. Would anyone like to commit some federal crimes?'

JuliusGoat Hey Bill Barr - Tell us again how Antifa are the real terrorists.

And yet none of you idiots commenting on here about how “of course it’s white supremacists” have stopped to ask: so why are Dems like Biden and Hollywood A-listers giving money to bail them out?

🤬

They must be anti Antifa? Maybe they should be called tRUMP supporters? Or MAGA supporters or KKK supporters or white suprematist? This is getting so confusing!

Theyre hurting their own cause, just like the looters and arsonists

The alleged domestic terrorists are some of Trump's 'good people'? I'm *so* surprised. It's abundantly clear that much of the civil unrest that has occurred secondary to the murder of George Floyd has been fueled by right-wing extremists looking to capitalize on the tension.

AP is lying Fake News propaganda and is providing cover for Antifa.

But realDonaldTrump and his big buddy Barr said Antifa was the problem. Proof his whole presidency is smoke and mirrors.

Garbage Juice! You can smell it a like away!

what is wrong with the link!

BULLSHIT!!!

brockm

Sooo what about the people that have already looted and shot cops? Ridiculous.

President Boogaloo was in his bunker.

Trump trying to throw law enforcement off the track of the real Terrorist!

Sad that trump will never say anything about this because it will divide his fan base (racist white people).

The ProudBoys Trumpskis & Boogaloos are the only fringe threat- and need to be squashed with some of that piss an vinegar D.C. reserves for minorities, protesters, and the American working class. DomesticTerror RightWingNuts ArmedNDangerous

So Right wing extremists. No Antifa again

Hmm…. ANTIFA or… A long long way to run?

Of course.

Whoopsies, indeed.

This is my shocked face. :|

Fake news!! Fake news!!! Did I do that right

Right wing? But I was told the left were the terrorists!

realDonaldTrump

RHuffmann There have been looters, violence inciters from both left and right fringe organizations, as well as traveling professional criminals and the stay-at-home variety. Good to see at least a few responsible for such violence have been caught.

Sounds like a terrorist organization to me.

Exactly how is ANTIFA 'right-wing'?

So these guys are part of Pro-Fa?

Correction- Antifa

Kushner made the call

Left wing*

So not anti-fa, its pro-fa, the plot thickens

And by right wing, you mean Antifa.

Deets, pls! Names, orgs?!?

No one tell TomCottonAR , who wrote an OpEd in the NYTimes today talking about how the military needs to intervene in these violent left-wing protests.

Lock em up! Lock em up!

Hey Bill Barr! Didn’t you say it was all left wing radicals?

Didn't Tom Cotton say we should just kill terrorists like this without due course or does that only apply to black people?

Can’t believe that the antifa has infiltrated right wing groups. Such terrorists

Oh wow. Color me shocked.

Throw those right-wing Antifa members in jail. Isn’t that the group realDonaldTrump was referring to?

How will trump spin this ? Stay tuned be safe and document it

“An alleged right-right wing Conspiracy”... 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣 like clockwork...

Funny the AP only covers these when its conservative nut jobs. Ignores stuff like this.

Lmao yeah Im sure the rightwingers want to overthrow the rightwing government.

Can we just call them fascists from now on?

Are we sure they weren’t funded by Antifa? Or Soros? Or some other deep state right-wing conspiracy?

So, instead of reporting on the 1000s of arrest happening because of riots. You choose this one. Wonder why?

realDonaldTrump but you told me it was ANTIFA!

EricBoehlert Has anyone told TomCottonAR ?

KelsblkZ06 Put those white supremacists and nationalists where they belong...

Right wing? What a joke. ANTIFA did it.
