AP finds most arrested in protests aren’t leftist radicals.

Tl;dr:

300 persons got arrested

286 got charged with some crime (the other 14 were free to go)

only one had a possible connection to antifa, and even that one isn't confirmed.

18 out of 93 arrested for federal crimes came from outer state out of deep red suburbs

A right-wing guy faces 10 years of prison for threatening (and admitting to this) to burn down a black church

2 right-wing Militia members from Missouri arrested with a stash of weapons

3 extreme-right persons from the "Boogaloo" movement (seriously, couldn't they find any dumber name???), aiming to overthrow the government, have been fould stockpiling military-grade weapons and hunting for events to unleash violence. The BLM riots were the event they choose for this. Angry the protests didn't turn violent around Nevada, they tried to force it by bringing carloads full of weapons and explosives and pumped gasoline into tanks. The FBI arrested them before they could really act any further than that.

FBI director Christopher Wray reporting to Congress that Racially motivated extremists like White Supremacists have been responsible for most violence and terrorist attacks in the US. Also explained that Antifa is more an ideology than an actual organisation.
