Exclusive: This morning, FBI arrested Timothy Watson, a purported boogaloo member for selling “portable wall hangers” which can be converted to make a gun automatic. According to docs, he has sold to a number of Boogaloo members including one who shot and killed law enforcement
His website had a number of boogaloo support language, including saying a portion of sales would go to support Duncan Lamp fund, an explanation of that significance is in the criminal complaint footnote.
Mr. Watson also allegedly sold his gun parts to a boogaloo member in Minnesota who was arrested for supporting Hamas.
He provided step by step directions in “coded” language on how to make the gun modifications.
The Program on Extremism continues to monitor extremist movements in America, including Boogaloo. There have been more than a dozen arrests, mostly at the federal level.
