Like the DHS and DoJ contractors deployed with the miscellaneous tactical units, a variety of former military are formally and informally at play during the Portland protests. In this case, a rogue element was pursued by citizen activists because these “contractors” were trying to escalate peaceful protests. The Military Industrial Complex has dregs as well as opportunists (drumpfJugend und Freikorps).

Man seen in area of homemade explosive at Portland protest ID’ed as ex-Navy SEAL
Former Business Partner and Ex-Fiance Shannon Monihan confirmed that Garrick was in the footage captured by @_WhatRiot on August 8th. She wants nothing to do with him.

Further confirmed to us by other family members, they too confirmed Garrick was in the same footage captured by @_WhatRiot. They further described Garrick as "[he] isn't the most self controlled person".

On Garrick's social media, Garrick talks in favor of a lot of right-wing ideologies and even shares WW2 Nazi propaganda and direct threats of violence.
