Introducing Kenney Lewis of Santa Rosa, CA. Kenney is Vice President of the Bay Area Proud Boys.
Richard Kenneth Lewis Jr, who goes by Kenney, can be identified by several distinctive tattoos, including birds on the back of his hands, text on his calf and the back of his forearm, and a design on the inside of his forearm.
Kenney's ID is confirmed by matching photos from his and his partner's facebook accounts, including several in which his tattoos are visible. In one photo, Kenney poses with the Proud Boys' signature "OK"/"WP" gesture.
Further corroboration includes a hat included in a facebook marketplace posting Kenney made which matches the one he was seen wearing at the CA Capitol on 1/6/21. (the car is listed as sold and so no longer belongs to Kenney)
CW: Violence
Kenney Lewis has a documented history of violence at rallies. This video shows him participating in the gang beating that took place at Cesar Chavez Park in Sacramento on 11/21/20. (no sound, vid pauses for ID)
Lewis was also documented assaulting a counter at the "Straight Pride" anti-LGBT hate event in Modesto on 8/28/21.
Kenney uses the nickname "Dirty Deedz", which is embroidered on his Fred Perry knock-off. He also uses variations on that handle on various social media, including twitter and telegram.
Kenney Lewis's online postings show someone with a penchant for racism and islamophobia and a hunger for violence against the left.
CW: Islamophobia
A few examples of Lewis's Islamophobia. Lewis says he would die before allowing his children to be become Muslim and claims Muslims are "trying to take over". In another post, he expresses a desire to use his dog to attack Muslims.
In this thread, Lewis expresses enthusiasm for Nathan Damigo's attack on a counter in Berkeley. When informed that Damigo (founder of the neo-nazi group Identity Europa) is an avowed racist, he says he doesn't care, just wants violence against the left.
Though he claims not to be a white supremacist, Kenney also gets weirdly defensive about them, claiming white supremacists are "some of the nicest people I know"
In addition to the two events (11/21/20 in Sacramento and 8/28/21 in Modesto) listed above in this thread, Lewis has been documented at events on 11/28/20 (pic 1) and 1/06/21 (pic 2) in Sacramento and 12/12/20 in Washington DC (pic 3). Pic 4 is of his plate carrier 11/21/20
Something that I meant to include but it slipped out:
Kenney posted photos to both facebook and twitter of what seems to be a full set of Confederate battle flag blankets and pillows. He says he scuddles with the symbol of slavery every night

On 11/21/20, A proud boy was caught on video beating a young trans activist in Cesar Chavez Park in Sacramento. I now know that that Proud Boy was Robert Sunday Jr.
Robert Sunday's identity is easy to verify, as his visible tattoos on both arms from the day of the assaults are a match for the tattoos visible in photos he has posted to facebook.
At the rally on 11/21/20, organized around the theme of crushing "Antifa", Sean Kuykendall (President of the Central Valley Proud Boys) was recorded in a conversation with Sunday: "We know there's no conversation at this point. It's just us stompin'—I'm not gonna say no more"
Approx. 20 members of California State Militia, "Echo Company" were out in full fatigues at a vax protest outside a Kaiser hospital in Modesto yesterday. Echo Company has been disavowed by even the rest of the CA State Militia.
The same "Echo Company" showed up openly carrying rifles and handguns in response to a purported BLM rally in Oakdale that never materialized in June of 2020. They were also present at a rally at the CA Capitol on January 6 of this year sacramento.cbslocal.com/2020/06/08/pol…
Also present at the protest outside the hospital yesterday was at least one Proud Boy, Jacob Ku (pic 2 from 11/7/20)
Thread: Yet again, Sacramento County Supervisor spoke to a crowd including Proud Boys, militia members, and white supremacists at a rally against vaccine mandates today.
This is Christopher "Odin" Young, a proud boy who was exposed advocating for a white ethnostate in the explicitly racist and anti-semitic "Proud Goys" telegram chat: nocara.blackblogs.org/2020/12/03/chr…
Here is Sean Kuykendall, president of the Central Valley Proud Boys chapter, alongside Denise Aguilar of Freedom Angels/Mamalitia.
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
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)
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.
