Texas man with ‘assault rifle’ at George Floyd protest allegedly plotted ‘to off racists and MAGA people’ – By Caitlin McFall (FOX News) / June 3 2020
A Texas man carrying an “assault rifle” at a Black Lives Matter protest Saturday has been charged with making interstate threats, the Justice Department announced.
Emmanuel Quinones, 25, allegedly brought a loaded Smith & Wesson .223 semiautomatic to the protest in Lubbock to “decry” the death of George Floyd, who died in Minneapolis police custody on May 25, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said.
According to the criminal complaint, Quinones refused to drop his weapon when ordered to by a Lubbock police officer — releasing his weapon only after the officer drew his gun.
A protestor reportedly tackled Quinones who allegedly yelled “this is a revolution” and “President Trump must die” before being taken into custody.
