guess who's coming to Minnesota?

The FBI says that the boogaloo boys are coming to Minnesota next week.  The building where I work is nowhere near the state capitol, but it is near the Hennepin County building where many Minneapolis protests (including the Occupy camp long ago) are staged.  As one of the "essential employees" in our building, I've been told to stay at home next week.  An abundance of caution seems reasonable these days.

Three of that group are charged with violence at the George Floyd rally here in Minneapolis last year.  Unlike the ridiculous claims of "antifa" acting in D.C. last week, we definitely had right-wing idiots derailing legitimate protests here.

These domestic terrorists imagine themselves as heroes, fighting for only themselves.  The only thing I think of whenever I hear their name, though, is a bizarre children's show from the 1970s called The Bugaloos and their nemesis named Benita Bizarre (pictured at right).

That show had a ridiculously hippie-happy introduction theme song with characters named I.Q., Harmony, Courage, and Joy.

I'm happy to remember them (like somebody else does, judging by that upload date) whenever I hear the name of those terrible boogaloo boys.

I hope if they commit any violent acts that they receive severe consequences. I'm tired of young white men thinking rules and laws don't apply to them!!!!

One of the very few good things to come of recent events is the vividly clear demonstration that rules have long been enforced differently against some people compared to others. Change is possible. :)
