Connection doesn't mean proof, it means that an investigative connection has been made between the terrorists and the group. Alleged means that this connection hasn't been proven in law.
That is one interpretation. But being connected can also mean 'being associated with', which is still in the air. They could be of that group or another group. Either way, they should be arrested.
Right now, with tensions as high as they are, it's vital that everyone, especially the media, who are supposed to be the impartial and accurate informants of the people, take extra care with everything they publish, being as clear and concise as possible, as anything slightly out of place can set off another powder keg.
You seem very keen that Boogaloo aren't somehow tainted by association with these terrorists, why is that?
I commented on this article simply because it showed up in the latest post of the thread, when I visited it. I could have easily commented the same on any other article about anything else, as long as I saw misleading journalism in it, because I want to point out the major role the media has in starting this mess, by having misleading headlines, publishing innacurate information, ommitting information and adding personal opinions outside editorial articles. They know most people only read headlines so they push for sensation rather than accuracy, all in the name of ratings and profit. Meanwhile these headlines are being read by extremists, of all sides of the political spectrum who, erroneously, start to think the situation is absolutely terrible and feel emboldened to take action. Years of this have led to now.
As for caring for 'Boogaloo', believe it or not, I only heard of them on this very article and I emphatically don't support their cause. Who wants deliberate Civil War? They're crazy, just like all the other radical groups.
I don't like that you assumed that of me after just one post on the topic. Just a word of a advice: stop assuming the absolute worse of people. You'll make fewer enemies. Reflect on that.
My post was meant to be taken at face-value. Literally the complaint was at the sly journalism, not because of who might be being slighted by said journalism. For all I care, I wouldn't mind a group like this 'Boogaloo' being slighted, as they deserve it. But I also don't like double standards so I have to call out all slighting, even if it's against people I don't like.
EDIT: "assuming the assuming" oops fixed
It was a victimless crime so there was no threat of anything to anyone.
