Increased media attention to the "boogaloo"

spat · Jun 8, 2020

You are not wrong.

I'm not sure if it's intentional, or it's just the structure of the MSM where there are so few original thoughts, and once they see one they all just repeat it like parrots.

I also think it's hilarious that they call it a "movement".

As if there are people actively promoting it.

The "good guys" according to the media are burning, looting and rioting. They need a foil to counteract their chaos.

Its like pro wresteling. They wouldn't have been able to make Hulk Hogan into the super-Murica-good guy if they didn't have Iron Sheik to make him look better by comparison.

I’ve noticed and the hate on Hawaiian shirt thing has gotta stop!

I wonder what Fluffy has to say about this.

Boogaloo originated in New York City mainly among teenage Hispanic and Latino Americans. The style was a fusion of popular African American rhythm and blues (R&B) and soul music with mambo and son montuno, with songs in both English and Spanish.

We *really* need to adopt the rainbow flag.

It will drive them bat shit crazy if they have to stop using that one.

For work, historically, I have been a suit.

Obviously, for a while now that has not been the case.

Tomorrow will be the first time it will be warm enough on a Tuesday for me to wear a tropical shirt for our weekly departmental Zoom meeting...

...and hilarity ensues, I'm sure. One way or the other (my group is fairly "woke" but a good group of folks who will likely just laugh at the irony of me working in a Hawaiian shirt).

Course I may throw on a Hornady camo ball cap.

Really? Hawaiian shirts are racist now? By that metric, food network might as well be the third-Reich news network.

That's a party shirt, not an aloha shirt.

Big difference!

ManrisFrack · Jun 9, 2020

Anyone can buy an aloha shirt and some patches.

Whether these 5 guys are righty nutjobs or just acting the part, the media is all too eager to deflect the blame from their team. Kinda surprised it took this long.

Hawaiian shirts were big with LEO's back in the 80's.When I first started in 83,hanging out in "cop bars" in lower Manhattan looked like luau night.They are good for concealing.

1075tech · Jun 9, 2020

You guys are making me think about getting one

Catskillkid · Jun 9, 2020

Ok, I got an idea...now hear me out on this one.

Since we're all aspiring bogie boys let's adopt some new uniforms.

5.11 tacticool pants coupled with Hawaiian shirts with Kentec cloths for accents. Maybe a rainbow flag decal on a baseball hat and black lives/guns matter pin.

Watch the Left try to figure that one out.

one or two years ago nobody heard of the boogaloo. Its a psyop designed to paint constitutional loving patritots as raceists.

Same with the founding fathers . They are attempting to discredit whites, the American flag , the constitution and history as raceist .

Apparently we like to wear Hawaiian shirts to protests as an identification of who we are. Its a complete set up for a future event.

Tampa television reporter was broadcasting live from protests last weekend when two young men in Hawaiian shirts moved in front of the camera and began chanting the name of an obscure white nationalist group, drowning out protesters shouting “No Justice, No Peace!”

The incident was one of a growing number in which far-right extremists who once organized mainly online have been inserting themselves into the real-world protests roiling much of the nation, sowing confusion about the nature of the protests and seeking attention for their causes.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/06/03/white-men-wearings-hawaiian-shirts-carrying-guns-add-volatile-new-element-floyd-protests/

It's maddening to consider, but it's only been a month since a bunch of folks who now seem to believe that police brutality is a reasonable response to peaceful protest got their underthings in a twist and took to city squares across the country—guns slung over their shoulders or cradled in their arms—to publicly whinge about being unable to get a haircut. Nevertheless, it's true. And if you were paying attention to those demonstrations, you may have noticed a contingent of those 2A types wearing an unlikely garment: the Hawaiian shirt.

Ridiculous as it may seem, that's no coincidence. In fact, all those aloha prints are designed to send a very clear message to folks with the right set of references: I am hoping for a second Civil War. Chilling? Fuck yes. But confounding, too. And it gets even weirder when you learn that this whole thing springs from dumb online jokes about the 1984 cinematic flop Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Rightwing Shitheads Are Trying to Ruin Hawaiian Shirts Now

Wondering why so many heavily armed white guys are rocking hibiscus print? The reason is exactly as disturbing as you'd expect.

White men wearing Hawaiian shirts and wielding rifles keep showing up at police brutality protests across the US.
Known as the 'Boogaloo Bois,' named after the title of a cult 1980s film, these people are a part of a loosely organized and largely libertarian militia group that is centered on anti-government rhetoric.
Started on forums and organized in private groups online, often associated with far-right extremist politics, the group has created confusion by attending recent protests.
On Saturday, three men who follow the Boogaloo Bois movement were arrested in Las Vegas for filling up gas canisters and making Molotov cocktails, federal prosecutors said.
"When we see these far-right groups manifesting in the streets and saying that they're with the protesters, we're just seeing another instance of the far right attempting to jump into and perhaps derail a left wing, or rather a broad mass protest movement," said extremism researcher Alexander Reid Ross.

Who are the Boogaloo Bois? A man who shot up a Minneapolis police precinct was associated with the extremist movement, according to unsealed documents

White men wearing Hawaiian shirts and wielding rifles keep showing up at police brutality protests in the US. Here's what to know about Boogaloo Bois.

www.insider.com

IN MORE THAN 30 of America’s 50 state capitals crowds have been gathering to protest against stay-at-home orders, buoyed by tweets from the president encouraging them to “liberate” their states. A few among them, toting assault weapons, are dressed incongruously in Hawaiian shirts. They might seem comical were it not for the fact that, in some corners of the internet, such leisurewear is recognised as the uniform of the extreme right.

Yeah sure. Coming from the very same media that insists there is no such thing as Antifa.

Deplorable Me · Jun 12, 2020

Don't ever go to a MASH bash then. Place is full of racist white guys raising money for the Red Cross. If anything, the Hawaiian shirts are symbolically mocking the establishment. Currently it is mocking the left wing. Back in the MASH days it was an anti right wing symbol by Hollywood mocking the right wing pro military side of society.

The media relies upon the short memory span of the easily bullshitted general public. The opinion swaying department of the left wing.

I'm sure somewhere in Albany there's a bill banning Hawaiian shirts right next to the Confederate and Gadsden flag ban bills.
