I didn't see any indication or corroboration these were Proud Boys. Nonetheless this is why you rein in political violence before it escalates to open warfare on the streets. You can't just let one side run riot (literally) indefinitely and expect the other side won't eventually fight back and sometimes adopt the same tactics. Foolish people who think they can control the chaos they cheer on are fools.

Punching back when violent Far Leftist terrorists attack isn't really the purpose of the Proud Boys. It's just the vacuum they filled because nobody else was doing it. They're really just a fraternity that refuses to buy into the Social Justice insanity. But for those looking to stand up and fight back against the Marxist Revolution, I'd say give them a look. They're more than happy to welcome you regardless of your race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. https://proudboysusa.com/
yet the leftists still call them 'white supremacists'

At this point, "white supremacist" just means, "Politically to the Right of Joseph Stalin." It's all in the same weird jumble with racist, homophobe, Islamaphobe, sexist, transphobe, misogynist, etc. All of these words get tossed around as pejoratives so much, I don't think anyone knows what they mean anymore.

The sad truth is that the smear job against the Proud Boys largely worked. Only now, with BLM and Antifa Marxists trying to smash and burn the whole country does anyone take a moment to question it.

Last image on the vid was of them walking one off in cuffs.
i saw a separate video of them arrested, handcuffed, questioned, but then let go and given a big hug by at least one of the officers, all the while on the street.

Looks like they'll assault anything that moves. That would warrant a lengthy prison sentence.

Acts of violence committed by Trump supporters is Democrats fault.....?

So they should call in the National Guard when Trump supporters are being violent but not when BLM "protesters" are being violent?

Good luck gaining support for terrorists who sometimes protest. You can't put the toothpaste back into the tube.

Most of the Nation sees BLM and Antifa as a terroristic threat, and will want to dissuade them from having a community presence due to the imminent threat of violence, destruction, and sometimes targeted murder.

The only way these lootings and firebombings are going to end is the locals issuing beat downs. Hopefully LE looks the other way just like they did in La Mesa. Ran these losers right out of town.
