Who are the people wearing black traveling around inciting violence?


I saw them in Austin, and there's the video of the guy breaking windows at the Minneapolis AutoZone. Here's one who showed up in my small midwestern town:

Probably a mix of different people with different motives: agent provocateurs, looters, politically motivated property destroyers, struggling business owners seeking to cash in on the insurance, thrill-seekers.

Why do you assume they are a group? Many people wear black and like destruction.

Right wing groups posing as antifa. Happens in Europe too.
