There's been a huge number of fake accounts on Twitter all promoting that extreme violence is going to take place in Minneapolis or elsewhere. Some are directing to very specific targets of violence. If you follow the events on Twitter you'll quickly notice them too. They stick out like a sore thumb. They are activated and reactivated for specific 'campaigns'. Between activation, they build through K-Pop or anime themes.
All accounts are:
- Either branded as K-Pop or anime accounts
- All focus on the BLM hashtag primarily
- All have 'stay safe' wording
- Have specific violence targets or points
- Have a history of repeating versions of the above for different 'campaigns'
The accounts have zero resemblance to any accounts or tweets of legitimate people, irrespective where they stand on what's going on.
The fake accounts are either designed to incite the current protesters or to build the account's followers to then sell its services.

This is just a few of many.
And the real question here is: who hired them?
Just going to go ahead and update this with another example:
And while I'm screenshotting Twitter, here's another scumbag:
One more for the road:
The Russian government seem to want to pour as much gasoline on the fires of social discontent as they can (when the US president isn't doing it). Odds are it's them.
It doesn't sound very Russian. The accounts all come off as run by Americans.
Soros. Always Soros. (I’m just making things up.)
People might be better off avoiding anti-social media for the next few weeks.
Ask Twitter ! (most likely US people I guess)
My friend, I sent you a DM.
I'm aware about your issue, I haven't replied yet as to keep your message marked and at the top.
Thank you, my friend!
Derek Chauvin hasn’t fled to Florida. He’s been arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
If you look at the number of retweets & likes it is just astounding to see them shoot up in seconds. Mob mentality is one of the pitfalls of social media and technology.

When I saw the name of Justin Sun, I first thought that he has something to do with the Minneapolis incident.
By the way, it is funny that he always has "a new project" about every 1 to 2 weeks.
Nah, I just didn't want to spam an extra post for a small thing. He's got no projects. He bought a company, ran it into the ground, all the staff quit.
