An Infowars livestream hosted by Owen Shroyer captured Tusitala “Tiny” Toese — who is an active member of the hate group the Proud Boys in addition to his prominence in Patriot Prayer — screaming at and threatening a small group of young African American men attending Austin’s Pecan Street Festival. According to Shroyer’s commentary, Toese went after them because they were wearing Obama hats.
After a poorly attended rally of about 60 to 70 people earlier in the day, which featured Alex Jones himself as a last-minute surprise guest, right-wing demonstrators took their signs, their message and a bullhorn to the Pecan Street Festival and began, as one organizer put it on Facebook, “trolling 6th” street. Soon after they arrived, Toese, Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson and others in the group began what appears in Shroyer’s video to be an animated discussion with three young men. According to commentary in the video, demonstrators were upset by their Obama hats, which Shroyer insisted they wore on purpose “just to trigger you,” and they also objected to one man’s sweatshirt, which featured the name and likeness of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I find it interesting to observe that the images of the three individuals seem to feel that wearing full beards is a badge, and is similar to the sort of thing that Muslim extremists also like to wear.
I’m sure they are very proud of their Islamic brother terrorists
Please provide a cite that the shooter was “antifa” or withdraw the claim. Thanks!
Also, you seem to be able to reply to posts and shoo away crickets all by yourself. I’ll assume you support the shooter, since you didn’t reply earlier and didn’t start a new thread. Or something like that – I’m not really sure what you’re implying.
Footage of that moment shows anti-Trump protester Anthony Harrington biking past a group of Trump supporters, yelling “Fuck Trump, fuck you!” As Harrington passed by, a man Harrington identified to The Daily Beast as Metaxas punched him in the side or back of the head.
The assailant, whose clothing matches what Metaxas wore that night, is then shown rapidly running backwards through the street, as a law enforcement officer pulls Harrington away.
Metaxas did not return requests for comment. But even his allies believe he threw the punch, supporting Metaxas by name while defending his action on grounds that Harrington “had it coming.”
“Had it coming”. How fucking weak can the right wingers be?
Looks to me like you’re trying to excuse it. So truthful though hurtful words are the equivalent of physical violence and call for actual violence in retaliation?
If the DA wasn’t complicit in the violence by refusing to prosecute mostly peaceful rioters the dude that did the killing in Portland would be been in jail for previous offenses.
Excuse me? They JUST identified the victim and nobody knows who the shooter is so why are you spouting off as though you knew, well, anything? Put up a cite to the identity of the shooter or just STFU.
Just like in the thread about the DC protesters confronting the diners, Trump supporters believe it’s perfectly okay to respond to a person yelling at someone with physical (or even lethal) force. Thugs only know how to behave as thugs.
