Second Proud Boy assault of several at the CA capitol today. This time comitted by a man wearing a "Staff" shirt for the group hosting the *permitted event* there.
(Audio intentionally distorted)
Here's his face and neck tattoo. The logo on the shirt says "Saviors of Liberty", the name of the group listed as hosting the event on the flyer (after they removed mention of Proud Boys)
The same Proud Boy throws another punch later on in the day yesterday. This time he's standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a CHP officer, and faces no consequences.
This Proud Boy is on video committing at least 6 assaults across several rallies, all directly in front of cops.
More assaults by Proud Boys in front of the CA capitol yesterday. One of the major initiators is that very same proud boy from the other two assaults. Again, right in front of police, who allowed him to commit three different assaults with impunity in the same day.
This initial shove that prompted the melee appears to be by this man, who claimed his 4th degree during the assaults at Cesar Chavez Park on 11/21
First Proud Boy assault outside the CA capitol today
A closer look at the offender
This appears to be the same proud boy on Jan 6 (1 &2), 11/28 (3), and 11/21 (4). That Proud Boy has committed at least three assaults on camera without repercussion.
Thread: A locally prominent right-wing caravan and rally organizer with ties to Proud Boys, the Recall Newsom Campaign, and local Republican Party officials co-runs a neo-nazi telegram channel with her husband, a self-described nazi. Meet Chelsea and Victor Knight from Auburn, CA
CW for some pretty egregious Nazi content in this thread.
Chelsea Knight is an admin for the facebook group "Placer County for Trump" (PCFT), which has over 4,400 members. She also runs the group's twitter page (it uses her name as a handle) and both she and Victor are admins in the PCFT telegram group chat
Thread: Ever wondered what kind of militarized vehicles your city is running around with?
A little (likely incomplete) roundup of police armored vehicles in the Sacramento region.
First up: CHP's Lenco Bearcat
Sacramento County Sheriff also has a Bearcat.
Sacramento Police Department bought a new Bearcat in March of 2020, in addition to one it already owned. This is the older one. The new one cost over $400,000.
I tuned into Eddie Block's channel just in time to catch him repeatedly call someone a "wetback" at the Tower Theater protests in Fresno.
Eddie is out with a group called "Sons of 76". Eddie called this man "Rick" and implied that he was a cop. Back in November, a man with matching tattoos was in Sacramento wearing Proud Boy gear. He also had "Sheepdog" name tags at that event.
In another video, Eddie Block identifies the man who was photographed wearing Proud Boy colors back in November, as Officer Rick Fitzgerald of Fresno PD
Meet Proud Boy Kenneth Shields of Lodi, CA. Kenneth was at several of the post-election rallies in Sacramento, including 11/21 when he took part in a group beating of a man who was on the ground. He has recently been active at the Tower Theater protests in Fresno.
In this video, Shields can be seen participating in the group beating in Cesar Chavez Park in Sacramento on 11/21. He comes into the frame at around 0:24 here, and can be recognized by his helmet and black plate carrier.
I received a tip about Kenneth, which I was able to confirm by matching his tattoos to photos from a profile on a bass fishing website (lol)
