Over the weekend, an Ann Arbor man was caught on camera interrupting a demonstration led by members of the far-right "Boogaloo" movement.


The armed militia members were allegedly at the scene protesting increased police militarization in the area—all while carrying assault rifles of their own.


In a video, which was posted to Twitter, an unidentified passerby confronts the so-called protestors, who stand on a street corner fully armed in combat gear.


"What the f***?" the local man says, assessing the Boogaloo group. "We don't need this, man."


Calmly, he describes the Michigan town as "a peaceful community." "We've been through a pandemic," he says. "We've lost thousands."


Losing his patience, he continues: "Get your f***ing guns out of here, man!"


"Your police are still killing people," one Boogaloo member replies. "Is it okay for them to kill people with guns?"


"No, it's not, but it's not for you either, you guys," replies the Ann Arbor resident.


"You are not the police. You are a militia," said the bystander. He tells the group that they are not "in charge" and to "read the law." Several of them reply, telling the man to "read the


Constitution."


At one point, the local man also asks the militia members if they were "part of that thing in Washington," presumably referring to the January 6th insurrection on the Capitol.


"No, god, no," replies the Boogaloo member. He explains that they identify as centrist Libertarians.


The conflict continues, with neither side backing down. Finally, the man asks, "Why don't you just take your ... steroid-shrunken nuts ... out of Ann Arbor, man?"


"Because," the Boogaloo member replies, "no one else will fight for the people."


"F*** off, Nazis," the man says, walking away from the scene.


“Get your fucking guns out of here, man!"One Ann Arbor resident confronted the group about carrying firearms.“You are not the police,” he shouted. “They are in charge, not you. Get the fuck


out of our town!”“Take your steroid-shrunken nuts out of Ann Arbor. Fuck off!” pic.twitter.com/PC6QIpMevj


All over Twitter, users are responding to the militia group's appearance in left-leaning Ann Arbor and commending the bystander's intervention.


"I miss y'all so much, people of Ann Arbor. Give these Boogaloo Boys hell," wrote one Twitter user.


"Assault weapons and tactical gear? And they're protesting the militarization of police? Ooookaaaayyy," commented another.
