re: #29 Charles Johnson

Heads are exploding over the SWATgate post tonight.

Have you read up on Darby?

Specific claims by others in attendance at the protest (e.g., Ms. Gabby Hicks) state that FBI informant Darby was “…the one to suggest violence, when the rest of us clearly disagreed…” and that “[a]s an older seasoned activist, Darby had a lot of sway over Crowder and McKay, making them susceptible to his often militant rhetoric”[7] i.e. that he acted as an agent provocateur. As well, a former Darby girlfriend and various former colleagues attribute self-serving rather than altruistic or patriotic motivations to Darby’s decision to act as an FBI informant.[7]

I really wouldn’t be surprised if he was trying to game the system again.
