The Proud Boys started as a right-wing fight club. Now many of its members have been charged in the January 6th attack on the Capitol. CNN’s Elle Reeve, who has covered the Proud Boys from their earliest days, discusses the rise of this paramilitary group with Reality Check’s John Avlon – and why one former Proud Boy says he left the group be believed had become "too much like a nationwide criminal gang." #CNN #proudboys #january6
The Proud Boys, explained: From Rituals to 1/6
I can explain them simply… traitors.
@tom martinez if you are a vet, that’s even worse. You should damn well know better.
“they wanted to feel strong but they also wanted to be protected”
Awe! That’s not what it means to be a man, not at all!
@SpicyHotPot I’m a troll because I can define what a man is?
they know they are cowards
I wonder – how many of these guys are related more than once?
My first guess would be…a lot.
@It’s Energy Bob! they all have the same mom and sister which is the same person to them
@WE THE PEOPLE 🙌 what’s wrong with people living in trailer parks? Some very fine people live in trailer parks.
I was mad. Until I read that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It started as a hipster joke but became a racist white supremacy group for incels. Pretty hilarious and insane actually.
Good one! #January6thwasaninsidejob❄️🌎❄️🤣👌❄️
@John Stallings ha an inside job. You need meds.
@Hugh Jassol R u part of the traveling insurrection 🎪 circus too? #insurrectionhunters ❄️🌎❄️
Somebody should have let these dummies in on the joke.
Isn’t it funny how some groups don’t know that they’re exactly, who they think they’re fighting.
FBI caught trying to debunk RAY EPPS…………WHY?
@qwertyuiopas One of the Domestic Terrorists who aided in the Terrorist Attack on our Nation’s Capital on January 6, 2021 was quoted:
“Some of the cops were really cool. They were on our side.”
Now… let that sink in.
Just because a person you trust tells you you’re doing the right thing, doesn’t mean you’re doing the right thing.
I was one of thousands of people attacked by the Portland police when peaceful Men, Women, and Children showed up to protest their hate rallies. People did work to keep them from living in Portland, mostly by letting potential renters and employers what they are. They lived nearby in Vancouver Washington. One of the first people that were murdered by the maga cult was an acquaintance of mine; Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche. He was a second generation Hippy that intervened when a guy that was at one of these rallies one week earlier was threatening two young girls because of their dark skin. He was such a peaceful guy that I am very impressed that he stepped up. His killer was a big, loud scary guy. These pud boys would be just another homo-erotic hate group of nobodies if they weren’t affiliated with the violent racist portland cops, who enjoyed torturing good people. It is well documented that the cop and pud boys conspired to create violence and hurt people.
Before all of this, I dedicated my life to stopping racist groups across the country including Hawai’i, where there was a group called the brown boys in the ’90s. They are al the same; They are cults that bring in losers and as she says; makes them feel like they belong somewhere by catering to the very lowest common denominators of fear and anger.. just like the maga cult.
I might write a book about all of this.
AT 6:40, he shows how they dressed up as “Antifa” and burned things, and broke windows and such, just to try to keep themselves relevant. They and cops were caught many times around the country doing this. We would always look for cop boots on people that were dressed like this bozo. A few times, when they caught, they showed their badges and guns. There are several videos of them attempting to break windows and being stopped by good citizens.

Wasn’t it Micah Fletcher that provoked the whole incident leading to your friends death
@John Stallings Your hashtag makes it sound like the government was behind Jan 6, not just the president.
The proud boys sounds like a group of adolescents that would put training wheels on a motorcycle and call them outriggers.
@PrYme the Messenger so infact yes it does deserve the same category
@SLACK ti when? Give me an example.
“I guess we’re going to go storm the capitol.” — the quote for the ages – I’m pretty sure I saw that on video, maybe more than once.
The shirt in the thumbnail is a great example of idiocy. “Anti—Antifa” means they support Fascism. Do they even understand the words?
Highly edumacated bunch. Lot of roads scholars, as opposed to Rhodes Scholars.
they dont not never
Yeah with a hammer and sickle icon too! Not very bright at all
You do understand that you don’t have to start from scratch when studying all this, right?
Just read a few books about Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s.
@Joey Bleu Trump can’t read.
@Joey Bleu I find it hard to believe that he ever had the mental faculty required to actually read an entire book.
probably why he had to read hitlers entire works over and over again. but you make a good point he doesn’t read well. i think he stumbles on his esses.
@Joey Bleu apparently he practiced the Hitler salute too
Someone needs to tell the guy wearing the “Anti-Antifa” T-shirt that he’s a Pro Fascist.
melted cheetah, never once ticked up any of my comments. Not once, not ever. Do you have a confession to make?
Do you know what fascism is? Don’t answer, it’s rhetorical.
@melted cheetah
I was the one liking his/her comments. It was me. He/she’s on the right side of history, so I support them.
You’re a goof.
@Jose Ayala
Nope. Quite the opposite.
Childish is the only word that comes to mind with these clowns . This is what happens when you don’t hug your children and tell them that you love them.
agreed i been in therapy for 13 years take anti anxiety meds because of that. they never touched me when i was in my 40s my dad hugged me and told me he loved me. too late pal way too late.
@Joey Bleu That’s so sad. I was 20 and pregnant with my own child the first time my father hugged me. I was so shocked that I burst into tears. I showered my son with love and hugs and kisses, and he grew up to be a good person and a good father.
This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands, and have excuse makers.
What happened to these men? Parenting could be the answer. Never being held accountable could be another answer. They are just jerks and bullies could be an answer.

I’m guessing all 3 are the answers!
This was one of the most important reports to pay attention to.
I believe one of the biggest problem is when a person comes home from either training &/or war in the military.
Don’t get me wrong.
These people are brave, want to fight for freedom & their rights.
However, when they are trained to be cold, trained to use violence, trained to look at race, where do they go when there is no need for that training anymore ? .
I believe they carry burden inside them from what they were trained to do with some guilt, yet want to still have that feeling of honor while they were a part of that larger unity.
The problem is, that fighting for their country in groups like this ends up being actually abusing the people in their country who in reality need their help.
Weren’t they/aren’t they trained to SERVE the people, as in help, but not so much genocide & destroy ?
Yes, combat may sometimes be needed but, isn’t the honor of warriors meaningful at all ?
I look at them as brave However, with learning more these days, my trust in them has dwindled but, not completely.
They & many are being played !
The groups working to conquer the world only plan on a very small amount of people surviving & you can pretty much guarantee the full throttle violence like the capital etc is basically that turning family against family like they did/do to the black people in history.
Oh, &, just so you know, any kind of Indian blood like Cherokee, Shawnee etc is included in that black description & people who seem black may not be considered black depending on where they come from.
Why in the world do you think one person is better then the other because of their blood that does not speak, does not do tricks, does not eat, does not cry ?
People do not decide what blood they are born with.
So why would you think it is ok to hurt or kill them when you don’t know that individual enough to really know them.
Past is past.
Make a better future that actually gives EVERYONE a chance at staying alive instead of those damn few who are playing all these people like fools !
They are playing you people to KILL OF YOUR OWN FAMILIES MOSTLY IN THE END FOR THEIR PRECIOUS NEW SMALL WORLD SMORGASBORD IN THEIR UNDERGROUND BUNKERS !!!
I’M GETTING TIRED OF WORDS & PICTURES BEING PUT IN FOR ME WHEN TYPING COMMENTS !!!
Anyway, TALK TO YOUR LOVED ONES IF THEY HAVEN’T ALREADY TAKEN AWAY YOUR EMOTIONS COMPLETELY ! .
EVEN IF YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE EMOTIONS ANYMORE.
TALK TO SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH THE SAME THINGS BUT, IF THEY THEMSELVES AREN’T IN A PLACE TO EXCEPT THE TRUTH YET, FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO TALK TO.
OH, I KNOW THE MONITORING IS EXTREME SO, TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IF YOU NEED TO.
YOU ARE WORTH IT !
YOU SHOULD BE HONORED FOR COURAGE !
HOWEVER, DESTRUCTION INSTEAD OF SERVICE FOR THE BETTER OF MANKIND FOR EVERYONE WHO BREATHS WHO AREN’T WORKING TO DESTROY, IS NOT HONORABLE.
I know soldiers are taught to look at race However, that is for the sake of battle at a specific time & place, not to be a permanent fixture in your psyche.
I think that if people just didn’t have this need to belong to a group we’d have a much nicer world
Someone has to tell these ‘proud’ boys that they are actually normies, too.
Mick Mulvaney being interviewed on another CNN show: “I was not around when they planned the riots, er-um I mean the rallies.” He knows, and we do too.

I love watching when the “community of leftovers” find out they hate each other. I’ve felt alone before but I never considered hurting myself and others in order not to. #legacy #DivestFromTheUSA
