Both are in custody.  Both are extreme right wingers, so hardly sympathetic to the protestors at the event they used as cover.  Most of the looting in NYC during protests is, likewise, typical Boogaloo Boy behavior.  So be careful throwing accusations around.

It seems to me that this repeats what happened last time around too.  Martin Luther King had center stage in the Civil Rights Movement, but there was always Malcom X and the Black Panthers ready to use violence waiting in the background.  This time around there seem not to be such prominent leaders, or they have yet to bubble to the front.  The movement so far has been more spontaneous.  Perhaps it is the speed.  Perhaps there are leaders still around from the last confrontation that are stealing the spotlight.  There seems to be more contempt for the looters than fear.  Still, it seems to echo oddly.
