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.
Because the Proud Boys are not called the Smart Boys, the group decided it would be a good idea to split from the poorly-attended protest to check out an “antifascist celebration” occurring nearby.

They were driven off.

But not before Geoffrey B. Young assaulted someone.
This past Saturday, Proud Boys decided to go to Montgomery, NY, where they joined another limp protest against Drag Story Hour.

Despite not being in their colors, Gregory Kevin Mullin II was unmistakable.
Following the protest in Montgomery, NY, the aging men who should seriously consider therapy walked 13 minutes from the event location to a parking lot where they had parked their cars.

All the while checking behind them.
Wouldn’t it be so funny if Geoffrey B. Young, aka #CamoJerryPB, who in 2018 was arrested for assault in NYC and was caught doing the same 4 years later — who would then shave his beard to obscure his identity — would park right next to Gregory Kevin Mullin II’s truck?
Well, that’s exactly what happened.

And because of that, we can now definitively confirm that #CamoJerryPB is Geoffrey B. Young, Proud Boy of Valley Cottage, NY, who drives several hours to harass children’s reading events and assault people who oppose fascism. ImageImageImageImage
Thanks to the slew of folks for providing a lot of pieces of info that until now were left unverifiable.

And thanks to Gregory Kevin Mullin II, aka #BeenieGiant — but mostly your wife’s truck you cover with your silly little stickers — for introducing your friends to me.
Edit: My brain said December but these guys pulled up in March, per timestamps. Was confusing them for the other Proud Boys who attended a DSH NYC protest in December, who also had a bad time.

The lesson here is stop harassing me because that makes you really bad at seeing the obvious disincentivizing bait laid right at your feet 😊
The vibe is indefatigable

A community in Pittsford, NY needs $8,500 for security ahead of a Drag Story Hour event that has been threatened, including signs containing phrases originating from far right conspiracies.

From @CitizenMurphy
democratandchronicle.com/story/news/202…
Supervisor Bill Smith claimed organizers “falsified the nature of the event” when applying to host the children’s reading hour because their application didn’t specify how readers would be dressed.

(It’s in the name…?)
Smith further called for protestors to behave, making a wild argument on the record:

“Just remember that disruption would do nothing more than grant victim status to a group of people who are desperate to seek it and are trying to get it through this event."

Rightwingers have crafted a truly wild conspiracy that longtime MAGA Juliet Germanotta is a plant.

This is because she was misbehaving outside the courthouse yesterday & made them look bad. It is also the result of a “patriot reporter misidentifying a MAGA as antifa. 🧵 Image
Juliet Germanotta is well-known among the MAGA crowd in NYC.

She dumped paint on a BLM mural dressed as the Statue of Liberty, was the passenger of a car that tried to drive thru protestors, and attended every MAGA rally in 2020.

From 2020: abc7ny.com/black-lives-ma… ImageImage
Her retelling of being in the car that tried driving into a crowd are the only articles that exist, all from rightwing sources. They fail to note that she was counterprotesting, offered an NYPD escort, refused it, and then tried driving as people began staging to march.

Thinking about the press guys who brought respirators and helmets to Manhattan Criminal Court yesterday anticipating volatility.

KN95 works great for indirect mace! And Sudecon is an easy add to your kit!
KN95s also block smoke, perfume, and are much easier to carry around. If you’re concerned about volatility, bring goggles, wear long sleeves, and a plastic bag to put contaminated clothes in.

Doc Bronners or Dawn are good to decontam! Wash contam’d clothes separate.
If you get mace directly on your lens, alcohol wipes (or hand sanitizer on a napkin) will help remove most of the mace to clear the lens.

Later, you’ll probably need to take apart your camera and decontam everything air can reach w/rubbing alcohol. Hand wash camera strap!

It’s just really smart to post a video of your friend accosting someone, who says on his own video a string of numbers & “come by,” while telling all your followers it’s his address.

Did Andy Ngo just dox a far right propagandist in a pathetic effort to stoke hate against me? Image

Tell me you don’t know what words mean without telling me you don’t know what words mean. Jack Posobiec E @JackPosobi...
Let’s see-oh, history of getting physical with people, doxxing, instigating? A guy…just trying to do his job? A slew of disinformation propagandists & deceptively edited video to paint the aggressor as the victim?

I’m sure this’ll go very well for y’all.
Our star witness, a far right meme account funded by… the guy who created the Pizzagate conspiracy.

vs

A dude who was trying to mind his damn business until you decided to try some shit, who you’ve since doxxed, threatened, & are trying to defame.

Go ahead boys.
