(81,433 posts)5. They should identify this asshole.
Christensen wrote in the affidavit that she watched innumerable hours of videos on social media platforms like Tik Tok, Snapchat, Instagram and YouTube to try to identify the suspect, to no avail. Investigators finally caught a break when a tipster e-mailed the Minneapolis Police Department identifying the man as a member of the Hells Angels biker gang who wanted to sow discord and racial unrest by breaking out the windows and writing what he did on the double red doors, the affidavit said.
A subsequent investigation revealed that the man was also an associate of the Aryan Cowboy Brotherhood, a small white supremacist prison and street gang based primarily in Minnesota and Kentucky. Several of its members were present at the Stillwater incident.
