Warning about a Minneapolis march Sat. morning (Feb. 7). [View all]
This is from a post on my union's Signal chat. People are reliable there.
Armed Citizens Against Tyranny (ACATUSA) is promoting an open carry march Saturday, February 7, gathering at 8:30AM and marching at 10:30AM from the intersection of East 34th & 5th Ave S to Glam Doll Donuts.
We have high confidence this is a federal honeypot, with evidence as follows:
1. No one in the community or local firearms communities knows anyone associated with this group. They activated their website ACATUSA on January 10th.
2. Their domain: ACATUSA, has, since the early 2000s, linked directly to the FBI .gov website, and previously presented itself as Armed Citizens Against Terrorism, which also had links for FBI tiplines.
3. Public and private requests for clarity on who this organization is and where they came from have been met with opaque, repetitive responses.
4. Organizations across the political spectrum, from the SRA, Atlas Defense, and the MN Gun Owners Caucus, have all warned against participation in the event.
Do Not Engage with this march. They are requesting people with Permits To Carry identify themselves to the group and march with unloaded firearms *while also stating they will allow former law enforcement/military to march with loaded firearms. They are also requesting unarmed people follow and march with them, as well as volunteers to help marchers check in.
Under no circumstances should you engage with this march, and take extreme caution in the area of the proposed route.

And media will treat them as antagonists without even reading posts like this.

The "Internet" does not recommend going to the website. I has a low trust score.
