Looks like we’ll have to wait and see if they were justified by him initiating violence or charging towards them brandishing his fists ...or if they were violating the idiot mall-goer’s mere use of speech rights.

He does have a right to express his opinion about Trump, though I would think he had to get fairly close to them to be heard, and since he was using obscenities, I would take a “Borkian” view that the use of obscenities is threatening. If he approached a family while he was shouting obscenities how could it not be interpreted as threatening?

I think Bork was right about civility. The lack of civility is destructive to those very rights of free speech that obscene people like to tout.

If he hadn’t used obscenities, it would be easier to sympathize with him. Th more often someone being uncivil gets it in the kisser, the sooner we can return to civil discourse and debate rather than raw emotionalism.

What an agenda-ridden biased piece of “reporting!”

no proper if of what the SPLC actually is, snide comment about the yt clips being ‘out of order’, etc etc.

The stench is strong from this one.

Emboldened by Trump, Proud Boys’ confrontations raise concerns in the Northwest

The Proud Boys were one of the numerous groups to attend the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville last Aug. Jason Kessler who was one of the organizers is a Proud Boy.

The Proud Boys are nursing the wounds of resentment after events at Berkeley.

The sub-group within the group are the super bad-asses, and are known as the Fraternal Order Alt-Knights(FOAK) and they were organized by Kyle Chapman aka Stickman.

Never heard of them but they’re going to get charged with assault.

The Proud Boys have been around for two years or so at least. Here Gavin McInnes explains who they are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmMQoB5kioQ
