According to the charging document, which was reviewed by Business Insider, the three defendants previously served in the US Navy, US Army, and US Air Force. The filing stated that all members of the group possessed firearms, including "pistols and rifles, including variations of AR-15's." The defendants "wanted to use the momentum of the George Floyd death ... to hopefully stir enough confusion and excitement, that others see the two explosions and police presence and begin to riot in the streets out of anger," the filing said.
Hundreds of protesters gather at Government Center including a protester with an ANTIFA flag draped over his shoulders during a rally sponsored by the Youth of Greater Boston to demand justice for George and support of the Black Lives Matter movement in Boston on May 31, 2020.
