Video from the crime scene May 27 appears to show people nearby trying to discourage the man, according to the affidavit.
"Until the actions of the person your affiant has been calling 'Umbrella man,' the protests had been relatively peaceful," the warrant said."The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension. Your affiant believes that this individual's sole aim was to incite violence."
Remember we’re this? Strange how this guy was never arrested.
Ya'll lie like a rug. damn
You mean the Hell’s Angels that defended businesses from being burned down and looted (probably not in that order, but who knows)? Or do you mean one of the other biker gangs that defended minority owned businesses from rioters? Big Thonk.
Aryan Cowboys? So are they ancient Indian-Iranian cattle herders?
In other words the fucking Boogeyman, where are the real journalists?
“A single random guy with an umbrella managed to turn our peaceful protest into a violent destructive mob,” isn’t the resounding defense they seem to think it is.
Total lack of journalism, and a petty attempt to blame someone other than the ‘peaceful’ protestors.
STOP stirring up shit, he is a Leftist Ahole and you, The Democrats and your Propaganda cronies have been covering for them for years. Main Stream Media is The EnemyOfThePeople Pravda
😒
Trump’s Portland Gestapo and provocateurs like “Umbrella man” may be a trail run for an emergency decree to seize fed control of polling places and steal this election, as described in my “fiction or future” Trump dystopia novel America 2034 America2034
Suuuure. Oooooook. I believe you. (But seriously, I don’t. And that’s sad, because I used too. ABC CBSNews were once trustworthy. But not anymore. You should feel embarrassed.)
Propaganda Bull 💩
... pleased he has been identified, it seem's plenty of agitators and contrarians causing trouble and headlines
NBC in the cellar and digging.
Post his name and photo.
Lies. Read the story from the police ppl. It was someone told someone dude was a white supremacist and that person told the cops. Its crazy
“Umbrella Man”? 🤔 Reminds me of something else...
Umbrella Man must have a sleigh like Santa to be the only one that vandalized, burned and looted across the USA Catch him and then we’ll all be safe 👍🏼
🐮💩
bullshit
Sure. has less credibility than a high school newspaper gossip column.
Got 3 sources for that asspull?
LOL Obvious lie is obvious.
I get that they need to do better with sources before publishing, but I don't see why they think we care if it changes the narrative. I don't care if they are with the Care Bear Sesame Street Coalition, if they were behaving like an anarchist, lock them up!
Ah, yes. The unverified source who knows so much information because that one person is totally credible and reliable to write a report on.... Try again, FakeNews
Wtf is Aryan cowboy brotherhood?!? That's just a bunch of White people words thrown together
Even if it was (no evidence yet), it still doesn't absolve the rest of the city of looting, arson, etc. 'Oh some guy is stoking racial tension? I better go loot some air Jordans'.
I see him I see him
Uh huh. Suuuuureee. Anything to deflect responsibility from the real culprits, huh? White supremacy is a great strawman.
N.. Nothing B...But C...Crap
There's such a thing as digital news. MSM thinks they can pull the wool over the public's eyes like they used to before the advent of other news sources. can't hide the riots. They got called out yesterday by Jim Jordan. Shameful how dishonest NBC has become!
His ex girlfriend owed him, he was a Saint Paul police officer. Where the fuck do they get this shit?
This is total fake news. A lie outright.
Sorry but this smells fishy. Anonymous tip that he is a white supremacist. Has no charges against him? Sounds like no one knows anything and this is all speculation and heresay.
So the Hell's Angels and the Aryan Brotherhood are like the Bloods and the Crips. You're saying there's some guy who's a member of both gangs, who hate each other? lol.
So antifa violence is totally fine and justified but there’s NO WAY they would instigate the violence in the first place?
Those two things don't go together idiots
Wow. Just wow.
This is an outright lie. Antifa and these rioters are scum. End of. You don't need a scapegoat.
But aren't the protest peaceful?
Site your 3 sources. Or is that not a thing anymore in journalism?
You don’t have any actual sources but ran the story anyway?
not using the prerequisite 3 sources, for good journalism. Why am I not surprised 🙃
I can't believe anyone in the comments actually believes the guy is a white supremacist. 😂 Get smarter, people.
Yikes. Nice photo choice🤦♂️. Why not show the man in question? And while we’re at it, why not ID him? Also, definitely was not using a “sledgehammer”. Details matter; we need our truths to be granular in these times. Down. To. The. Smallest. Detail. Anything else is dangerous.
got proof? anonymous tips dont count as verifiable sources you fuckers
Desperately trying to categorize 2 months of far left wing violence as far right wing.
Media - nothing more than a Girl Scout game where you sit in a circle, whisper something to the girl next to you, she whispers to the next girl, all around the circle & the last girl says what she heard, which is nowhere near what the original girl said. Kudos 'journalists.'🙄
I'd think a national news source would need more than one anonymous tip to report something like this nationally.
Y'all really don't want to bring the Hells Angels into this
I don’t believe a word of this. And I despise skinheads or any other white supremacist hate group. It’s not even the right photo to go with the story. Lazy reporting. Or likely worse, deliberately misleading. Next!
Based on an email tip? That's pretty weak.
Hey, wasn't 'umbrella man' also present at the JFK assassination? 🤔 He's hung in there.
Whatever
Why are you running this story now, could it be the white supremisist narrative your trying to create. This happened a month and a half ago, yet your only reporting this now. Your riots aren’t working anymore to scare the public so now you need to switch up the game to the OG!
Anonymous source says NBC is paid by democrats and states by far leftists and terrorism sorters Supporters
WHITE SUPREMACIST
Umbrella man?
There’s footage of him and the black lil Caesars guy walking around together right after their “confrontation.” I could find it for you losers...
Isn't NBC News the organization that has repeatedly altered video and audio recordings to put a false spin on a story?
NBC has clearly lost it.....Hell's Angels really...how stupid do you think we are? Hell's Angels are not the type who could be bothered with a bunch of 'Marxists Socialist Democrats'
When all the media provides is an anonymous source, I just assume they're lying.
you fraud, there are videos of that 'white supremacist' laughing and joking with the pizza box guy, they're in it together
The entire BLM and ANTIFA movements aim is aimed to 'incite violence'
You used the wrong photo. I guess it's really difficult to the right thing, huh?
So...a friend told me, that his buddy told him, that his uncle told another friend of mine, that she was told by a guy she knew, that the orange man himself was down at the riots starting these fires. Better write an article about this totally legitimate news.
'Anonymous' lol BS I should say.
AN ANONYMOUS EMAIL TIP LOLLLLLLLLLL
It's almost like racial identitarianism begets racial identitarianism.
Didn’t they say he was a cop first? Seems like they make him whatever boogeyman they need to fit the narrative.
Remember the good ole days when media bias was covert?
More leftist propaganda
Remember when u needed 3 sources to go with a story. Those were the good all days.
Notice the carefully worded fake-news tactic in the article: 'Umbrella Man' spray-painted the words 'free s--- for everyone zone . . . . The AutoZone location was looted and set on fire.' Now, WHO exactly did the looting and burning, fake news? Hmm?
same umbrella man blamed for jfk? news is garbage
They need to see also. The real character. Of Floyd. Drug addict No child support living his life with people like him. Is so hard to see him.
Wait....I thought it was confirmed he was cop?
Maggots night out
Haha. Yeah. Hey remember those riots and destruction the right was calling out and we weren't? Turns out it was their fault all along. We are all innocent. Stay tuned for more programming. In other news protestors of peace threw bricks to smash the fascist glass of small stores.
you're right, don't mind the thousands of neo-Bolshevik rioters who've been burning America down for months, NBC - not like anyone thinks you're an actual news outlet anymore 😊
100 bucks says this is made up.
Very fake news.
Oh my gosh NBC.. we all know that was antifa. We're not stupid. Hell's angels did not show up to these. And if they did, you would know it because they would be kicking antifa's ass.. FAKE NEWS!!!!!
My Best Friend's Sister's Boyfriend's Brother's Girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Assuming this is true, is it ok to send federal troops into cities to stop violent white supremacists from rioting and trying to burn down federal buildings? If it’s not okay for “peaceful protesters”, it has to be ok for violent white supremacists, right?
your source 'knows a guy who knows a guy who heard it from someone scared.' you aren't looking for facts, you are writing what you hope.
Sources
Endless propaganda covering up for Antifa / rioting Democrats.
NBC. C is Corrupt!
OldSalz BLM creates chaos that attracts the crazies and somehow this is Trump supporters fault? We r not the ones out destroying things or encouraging this. NBC is, and by the way minorities have been hit hardest by these riots.
Funny where I come from Hells angels and Aryan are enemies. Now they are suddenly one and the same. 🙄 media never learns
What a piece of garbage. What about other rioters.....any that may NOT be linked to trash WS groups?
Your Bias is showing! You are nothing but Fake News! Report on the thousands of AntifaDomesticTerrorists AntifaTerrorists AntifaBLMDomesticTerrorists and then get back to us! You can’t brainwash us MAGA KAG with your lies! FoxNews OANN FoxAndFriends
I suspect that many of those committing violent acts are right wing instigators.
bullshit
Ok.... thats a very interesting twist..
Damn kkk always stirring up shit
Oh, here we go....
MeanProgress Don't be fooled! ReichstagFire FascismInTheUSA
DKnight10000 He had the same gas mask as the cops two blocks away. Pink filters on front of the mask! !
In Chicago’s Black neighborhoods, blacked out cars travel thru with gunfire ringing out. It’s not all gangs.
Mitchell Carlson, one of Trump's 'Very Fine People'. It has to be said while it's entirely predictable and evil that white supremacists infiltrated Minneapolis/etc. riots, the kids on the ground actually 'protesting' were stupid enough to follow that lead. They're all assholes.
What do you know ...a right winger ..destroys the right wing story to blame the left
So what you're saying NBC is that a white supremacist infiltrated a black supremacist organization. And then got them to do what his bidding. Like mindless puppets. You sure don't think much of the black lives matter movement.
NBC NEWS finds another Black white supremacist.
Umbrella Man - Unmasked
Lol
Like in da movies. We got to pray for them too cuz they're our Pa's ma's cops vets bros sis's cuzs ex-lovers co-workers bs associates neighbors teens. They're being used just like us cuz they are US-except 4 the Russians. A Country-House divided against itself will not stand.
KingSysiphus How does HA being involved not surprising anyone?
Peaceful white supremisist though, right?
If you’re not going to press charges against Trump for doing this same, leave him alone.
Not the same guy.
These same groups are vandalizing peaceful protest giving Trump and Barr the reason they want for violence.
Ignoring ANTIFA led riots in much of the country. NBC pushes extremist right wingers as source of rioting. FAKE NEWS.
Dear NBC, why are you showing this image as the thumbnail and not an image of the Umbrella Man?
So now they’re trying to say these PeacefulProtests aren’t BLM or Antifa...because they think we don’t have ears and eyes or brains. FakeNewsAlert
How are American news able to speak up opinions? For me, news should apply neutral point of view. In other countries are information.
'....believed to have ties....' The usual with the MSM. Lie, slander, dig. I guess this 'guy' did the whole Minneapolis thing, right NBC ?
Lock him up then. But America has seen more than just a 'white supremacy' group at work. But NBC & media has ignored that. Democrats led by Nadler even refuse to admit that Antifa exist or that America has been burning U can do that when u control media.. Sounds like Russia?
Amazing journalism can single out this one person but yet the other ones causing destruction run free without repercussion
Trump has very bad people...on both sides.
Imagine my surprise
You can't make this stuff up, oh wait yes you can! So a white supremacist cop and his minority cohorts kill a criminal black guy, peaceful protesting starts in Minnesota, a white supremacist provokes the peaceful protest to violence. 🤡🌎🎉
oh... sounds like fiction.
'The man has not been charged and is not being named by NBC News' So.... you made him up, then? I mean, because that sounds like you made him up.
We👏🏿 said👏🏿 that👏🏿 when👏🏿 it👏🏿 happened!
oh shocking
Get the mini van ready...
Lol such bullshit What a joke
You guys are the worst!!!! Joke news out let rag mag!
Wait, is this the same story where the ex recognized the guy as the cop she dated? So now he’s a white supremacist biker dude? 🤔
Great reporting again by totally biased and corrupt NBC. They found one guy who happened to be a biker. Ignore the other thousands of rioters and looters.
what is with the power of context? If you were to see this picture taken by rljourno , what would your initial reaction be? A set of facts given in context such as the history,comparison, connection, prediction delivers accuracy and transparency
From the article:'The man has not been charged and is not being named by NBC News' Is he not being charged because they would have to charge others? This incident happened on May 27, and the autozone was burned at looted by other people as well, same for the Target in that area.
Hahaha! Ok, lol Go with that. lmao
Right on cue...Barr sheds light on the media’s “peaceful protest” nonsense, so of course the media will have to counter it with “it must have been right-wing extremists,” while defending the left-wing extremists who are responsible for the majority of violence & riots.
No name, no arrest. But oddly enough, the speculation gives the Far Left Wing Extremist Fake News Media an opportunity to speculate about one of their wildest conspiracy theories that has no basis in reality or fact. Proving once again, just how stupid and gullible people can be.
Obviously not 'believed to be' strong enough for an arrest though....nice try fake news...nice try.
NBC propaganda. Aryan Bike Boy or whatever, I've always said the only reason to work with a Supremacist is when the agenda is to remove a Supremacist Society.
Conspiracy theories are true if theyre posted by the “news”
Always playing the race card.
Lies, the real white supremacist, are the white liberals in Portland and elsewhere promoting racial divide for election votes. Same people promote abortion which is legal genocide. Constantly speak for black people.. it’s time people wake up
You found that needle in a haystack of antifa. Congrats.
To the gallows with him!
DebbWillenburg
Newsworthy because.....?
So black people are taking orders from white supremacists? Ok got it . 👍
They maybe the ones mailing seeds too.
What has our media become?
Whatever, your BS narrative is crumbling just like the cities you claim are peaceful 🤬😠
If I had a dime for every time the mainstream media said 'White suprematist', I'd be a rich man.
The only reason we're even hearing about this is that Minneapolis appears to be one of the few cities that's even trying to recognize that white supremacists are a huge reason for the violence and property damage during these largely peaceful protests.
Hahaha - here we go making this about white supremacy!!
The right can ONLY win by cheating and dirty under handed tactics. Pathetic.
Why not name him?
Yeah it's called antifa!!!!
Duh
I call bullshit. I call him just leeching in on the chaos. I also think you should not be allowed to report things like this unless you know. 'Is believed' means it's opinion
