In 2018, Proud Boys violently assaulted antifascists in NYC who were counterprotesting the Metropolitan Republican Club for hosting Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes.

The first to turn himself in, Geoffrey Young, was sentenced to 40 weekends in jail. nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-c…
Because incarceration is not rehabilitation, it should come as no surprise that Geoffrey B. Young — previously only speculatively ID’d — attended the Capitol riot on January 6th, and is known to researchers as #CamoJerryPB.

How did this ID come about? Walk with me. Image
In December, a handful of Proud Boys — Gregory Kevin Mullin II, Joe Reilly, a yet-unknown medic, and one Geoffrey B. Young attended a protest in NYC against Drag Story Hour.

They mostly just stood around as antivax conspiracy theorists screeched around them.

#SeditionHunters...

One year ago, today, the Proud Boys marched in D.C. and attacked our Capitol.

They still think they have the numbers.

They don't.

They think they are stronger.

They aren't.

They think they are smarter.

Not a fucking chance.

They said they would be in record numbers.

They said they would try to blend in.

They didn't lie.

I made a list of 100 Proud Boys and associates from Eddie Block's video.

Some got popped by the feds.

A lot haven't.

With the civil suit D.C. has brought...

2/
identifying them takes on even more importance.

So, starting from my original 100, I'm going to start dropping the names we figured out.

As a community.

From #SeditionHunters to #Antifascists and everyone in between.

How many Proud Boys can we name in DC on J6?

Proud Boys marched in Nassau County on Long Island on Saturday, still trying to exploit the tragedy surrounding the car attack in Waukesha, and use it as a way to launder the group's violence (and actions on January 6th) and spin themselves as 'protectors.' ImageImage
Proud Boys are already testing "protection" as a defense strategy in court--claiming that their involvement in the January 6th storming of the Capitol was simply them "defend[ing] vulnerable protesters...not unlike what Kyle Rittenhouse did"
Meanwhile, the reality is that in the weeks and months before January 6th (and of course on Jan 6th itself), Proud Boys attacked people to further their violent, Far Right goals.
