So what's up with these 'Proud Boys', anyway?

Seems old news. He was picked up and tossed out of DC before the insurrection. Later, he was outed as an FBI informer. I believe the arrest/tossing was to preserve his informant status - a reason for him not being present/in harm’s way. Calling him a leader anyway was pretty weak. Mostly just a, “Loud Boy.”

Which “he” are you referring to? There’s a lot of overlapping currents in this thread.

The last bit of this thread has all been in reference to this.

The “he” if you follow the link is Enrique Tarrio. And as mentioned…

'Proud Boys' Leader Was Once A 'Prolific' FBI Informer | Cracked.com yes that’s from cracked by they are just an aggregation site.

Can you TP his house?

Thank you all. So his terroristic threats threats in the first vid are an informant talking big, hoping to incite some action from his rubes.

Seems like that won’t work now that even I know he’s a fake. Then again, nobody said these knuckle-draggers are bright. Maybe they’ll think he’s got a good idea and they’ll follow anyhow.

Honestly I think the Proud Boys are done. Stick a fork in them. Between Trump losing, more entities labeling them as terrorists, many getting arrested, their leader outed as an informant, they’re over.

I’m not worried about them, I’m worried about whatever the next group is going to do, whoever they are. I’m hoping that as soon as that group starts imitating them and posing on social media that they are quicker to be labeled a threat and marginalized/shut down.

The group as a group may be “done”. But until every last one of those traitors is caged, the ones still at large will join other groups or create a new group.

Yes that is my concern.
