FBI classifys Proud Boys as Extremist group

FBI now classifies far-right Proud Boys as 'extremist group', documents say

The FBI now classifies the far-right Proud Boys as an “extremist group with ties to white nationalism”, according to a document produced by Washington state law enforcement.

The FBI’s 2018 designation of the self-confessed “western chauvinist group” as extremist has not been previously made public.

The Proud Boys was founded by the Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes. McInnes has insisted that his group is not white nationalist or “alt-right” but the Proud Boys have a history of misogyny and glorifying violence. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) lists them as a hate group.

The document also says: “The FBI has warned local law enforcement agencies that the Proud Boys are actively recruiting in the Pacific north-west”, and: “Proud Boys members have contributed to the recent escalation of violence at political rallies held on college campuses, and in cities like Charlottesville, Virginia, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington.”

They sound more like a Gay dance group but I believe that they can be quite unpleasant.

US security agencies label Antifa 'domestic terrorists'

 

[whitehall]

"A document produced by Washington State Law Enforcement"? How does that work?

 

[Pilot1]

What have the done that is extreme? Especially when compared to the violent, and destructive Antifa, and BLM.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Proud Boys and Antifa are both extremist, yes.

The problem in our country is that far too many uber-partisans consider one group extremist but not the other.

Is that the same FBI who didnt stop the Muslim from shooting up the gay bar? Or the FBI who couldn't stop the parkland shooting? Or the FBI that couldn't stop the San Bernardino Shootings? Seems that the FBI is focusing on the wrong people and allowing the real liberal nutjobs to kill off innocent people. Maybe the FBI should be put on the extremist group...

but it's ok for blacks to be tied to black nationalism

 

[JGalt]

That's "classifies", Tommy. I know you're English, but didn't your school system teach you English?

BTW: Their website is still up. You probably don't have an equivalent in your country, but ain't the First Amendment a grand thing?

Dig it! The same FBI that promised Steele 50K for his uncorroborated Trump dossier.

 

[whitehall]

Documents allegedly say but apparently not the FBI. How does that work? Are we still dealing with a soft FBI coup by dirty tricks Obama appointees?

 

[Weatherman2020]

Who?

 

[aaronleland]

Both ANTIFA and the Proud Boys have contributed to violence at these rallies.

As far as the group being misogynistic.. even violent groups have good ideas.

It's the same FBI who tried to influence the election and excused Hillary's crimes

Yep. And the same FBI who refuses to investigate all the suspicious deaths associated with the Clinton's. And the same FBI who conspired with the Obama administration, the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democrat party to meddle in the 2016 Presidential election by wiretapping Trumps office in hopes of getting dirt on him. And the same FBI who refuses to investigate Democrat voter fraud all over the nation, and the same FBI.. etc., etc.,

The Southern Poverty Law Center IS a hate group.

Yep. Myopia. The uber-partisans can only "see" what they want to "see".

[Mac1958]

One day soon, the "Proud Boys" will be viewed as a violent element of The Great Last Gasp.
