Facebook shuts down groups where Boogaloo suspects posted before attacks
The term boogaloo – often used sarcastically – is a pop culture reference to a second civil war, its origins traced to a 1965 hit song – Boo-Ga-Loo – and the 1984 Hollywood cult classic Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Boogaloo sympathizers say they’re law-abiding citizens determined to protect their constitutional rights and to fight tyranny.
In a recent video introducing “Top 5 Boogaloo Guns,” the unnamed host of the YouTube channel, Iraqveteran888, sporting a Hawaiian-inspired shirt, described Boogaloo as a “potential standing up against a tyrannical government” and taking to the streets “to take care of business.”
CTEC investigation also found that numerous large Boogaloo Facebook pages have been banned recently, while others remain live. Those that aren't banned tend to be run by admins that are either 1) frequently speaking out against racism or 2) relatively inactive
