Tonight Proud Boys roved through Washington DC looking for "antifa" to confront, and police generally tried to stop them.

In one incident at K and 14th, police tried to form a line between them and an antifa group, but PB's got by and began exchanging water bottle throws.
As Proud Boys approached antifa, MPD maced the Proud Boys to hold them back.

Water bottle throwing over the police's heads continued, one hitting my camera and causing a piece to fall off (which I found! - no problem), until police pushed the antifa group in the other direction.
As Proud Boys continued to pursue antifa, police struggled to stay in the way.

One PB said his "freedom of travel" was being infringed before saying "fuck em" and flanking around.

One PB had a pushing match with a cop, while another toward the end of this clip was arrested.
In the aftermath of one of their own being arrested, one of the Proud Boys told police "Put the fucking shield down you fucking cuck, we're not the bad guys. Fuck you."

"You guys work for us, stand down," added another.

One suggested the police are antifa.
"No Trump, No peace! No Trump, No peace! No Trump, No peace!" the Proud Boys chanted as they marched along.
When the Proud Boys arrived at Black Lives Matter Plaza just north of the White House, where anti-Trump protesters were, police cut them off.

PB's tried to demand "an hour" to "clean the streets up."

"They want to kill you! Why do you protect them? Oath breakers!"

"Pussies!"
Some Proud Boys brought a "#BlackLivesMatter" banner they had apparently taken to their main group, where they stopped on it and chanted "USA! USA!"
The Proud Boys pulled two banners off of Asbury United Methodist Church, one "Black Lives Matter" banner and one promoting a women's event.

They kept the BLM banner (more on that later) and after reading the women's one, summarized it as "liberals, gay" before throwing it back.
The Proud Boys posed for photos outside Harry's Bar in downtown DC with the #BlackLivesMatter banner they had just swiped from a church.

When it was suggested that they burn it, one said "it won't take, it won't take, it won't burn."

Stand by for next tweet.
The Proud Boys poured lighter fluid on the Black Lives Matter banner they looted from the nearby church and set it on fire.

"Fuck antifa! Fuck antifa!" they chanted. "USA! USA!"

The manager of nearby Harry's Bar came out with a fire extinguisher and put it out.
Some more Proud Boys showed up with another apparently looted BLM banner.

At first PB's thought this was a small BLM protest, so they joked "bitch, we thought we had something to steal," when they realized it was their friends.
Chronologically, the stabbing incident occurred shortly after that, which I've detailed in this thread.

The Proud Boys marched to the JW Marriott Hotel, where Alex Jones had earlier announced a street party.

Jones said that Biden is a "goddamn senile corpse" who they hope to remove "one way or another."

He clarifies that this doesn't mean killing Biden.
Here is my full HD video summary of the evening aftermath of the "March for Trump" in Washington DC.

As always, all footage is available to license.

More video to come tomorrow

THREAD: On Saturday, militia activists marched to the GA State Capitol where they joined forces with Trump supporters holding a "Stop the Steal" rally.

The militia groups included Chris Hill's GA-based "III% Security Force" and Eric Braden's TX-based "Southern Patriot Council."
The militia groups rallying outside the GA Capitol were confronted by Atlanta Antifa, who led with a shield wall and were armed with semi-auto rifles and at least one shotgun behind it.

Police kept the sides separate.

"Go home to fucking your cousin!" one yelled.
Antifa raised their fists and chanted "fists up, fight back!"

Three women on the right-wing side got on their knees and prayed. "Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil."

PHOTOS I captured last night: After looting a #BlackLivesMatter banner from Asbury United Methodist Church, the Proud Boys pose with it before setting it on fire outside Harry's Bar in Washington DC. ImageImageImageImage
Earlier in the evening, Proud Boy argued with police who faced them with riot shields as antifascist activists stood behind. ImageImage
From earlier in the day: Proud Boys were a large aspect of the "March for Trump." Many wore the standard outfit of a black and gold-rimmed shirt (and plate carrier) but others added accessories like a gorilla outfit, kilts, and Burger King paper crowns. ImageImageImageImage

My clip of Nick Fuentes getting Trump supporters to chant "destroy the GOP" went viral. Here's more.

He says he no longer identifies as a Repub, but a Trump supporter & nationalist that will only "vote for Republicans that support an end to all legal and illegal immigration."
Rolling Stone wrote this article based on my tweet yesterday.

rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Fuentes was very clear about his intentions: Saying that he feels his group isn't represented by senate Republicans, he explicitly encouraged Trump supporters to sit out the Georgia election to throw it to Democrats.

"We must sacrifice the senate!" he said.

Tonight, a stabbing incident occurred on 11th Street NW between E and F streets.

This is the footage I captured.

It appears a total of three people, including two Proud Boys, were injured.

PB's accused the third person - seen bloody at the end of this clip - in the stabbing.
From what I could see, it appears one Proud Boy was taken away in a stretcher, while the other one who got injured walked away on his own feet.
This is a video captured from another angle beginning from the beginning of the fight.

Here’s a look at Freedom Plaza right now in DC ahead of the #MarchForTrump in DC.

The event formally begins at noon, and also has a tally point on the national mall. Some already beginning to show up.
I am walking right now from Freedom Plaza to the White House, and came across the “Q Shaman,” a pro-Trump activist from Phoenix.

He found out from my question that SCOTUS rejected the Texas case against blue swing states, and said it shows “corruption” among higher courts.
#BlackLivesMatterPlaza, the area directly north of the White House, is partially blocked by police.

The area available to pedestrians is being guarded by local activists under the watch of MPD.

At the last event a month ago, Trump supporters tore down BLM art in the area.

VIDEO THREAD: A coalition of anti-communist Asian-Americans, conservatives, and Trump supporters gathered Thursday afternoon in front of the United States Capitol to demand congress designate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as a "Transnational Criminal Organization."
"CCP is eradicating our culture, religion, and our very own existence," said Arif, a member of the Uyghur community.

"Today hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs and other Turkic people are being used as slaves by CCP," he said.
Prime Minister of East Turkistan Government in Exile @ETExileGov (a body representing the nation that would be East Turkistan, which China considers part of itself) @SalihHudayar said that China is a "threat to the entire world" and cited the "CCP virus" (COVID) as an example.
