White Supremacist Street Gangs Are Going to BLM Protests
                                                                                    Groups  similar in ethos and organization to the very violent Rise Above  Movement have been spotted at recent protests in the U.S. 
                                                                                    Among the far-right, it isn’t just 
Boogaloo types in Hawaiian shirts or men like the 
armed militia in New Mexico  that are showing up to Black Lives Matter protests across the country.  Violent white supremacist street gangs are also ominously posting online  about their presence in the shadows of protesters clamouring for racial  equality.
                                                                                    Two groups similar in organization and ethos to the 
Rise Above Movement (RAM)—a  notoriously violent California-based white supremacist organization  that is essentially a racist fight club known for attacking antifascist  activists at protests—have been posting photos on Telegram of themselves  inside BLM protests or stickering their insignia at locations where  marches are taking place. One of the groups, which VICE News will not  identify to avoid amplifying their message, has an alleged member who  was a participant in neo-Nazi terrorist organization The Base, which has  been under an intense 
FBI crackdown in recent months.
                                                                                    The news that white supremacist groups are appearing at marches  protesting police brutality and promoting racial equality comes in the  wake of the Trump administration and 
Republican lawmakers making noise about designating antifascist activism in its totality as a 
“terrorist organization.” 
                                                                                    Although  the Telegram activities of the groups viewed by VICE News have not  involved distinct claims of carrying out assaults at protests, the  supposed silent presence of white supremacist groups at protests seems  designed to intimidate the activists they despise.
                                                                                    “The boys are  on the ground at a potential BLM riot in the South End of Boston,” says a  post from one of the groups, showing a row of riot cops and a man with  American flag mask looking on. (The 
Anti-Defamation League noted that this particular group was handing stickers out at a protest in Boston.)
