Federal authorities ran a surveillance operation on By Any Means Necessary (Bamn), spying on the leftist group's movements in an inquiry that came after one of Bamn's members was stabbed at the white supremacist rally, according to documents obtained by the Guardian. The FBI's Bamn files reveal:
• The FBI investigated Bamn for potential "conspiracy" against the "rights" of the "Ku Klux Klan" and white supremacists.
• The FBI considered the KKK as victims and the leftist protesters as potential terror threats, and downplayed the threats of the Klan, writing: "The KKK consisted of members that some perceived to be supportive of a white supremacist agenda."
• The FBI's monitoring included in-person surveillance, and the agency cited Bamn's advocacy against "rape and sexual assault" and "police brutality" as evidence in the terrorism inquiry.
The FBI's 46-page report on Bamn, obtained by the government transparency non-profit Property of the People through a records request, presented an "astonishing" description of the KKK, said Mike German, a former FBI agent and far-right expert who reviewed the documents for the Guardian.

Investigate me for "terrorism" while viewing knife-wielding white-supremicists as "victims" if old.
