District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday against the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers groups, as well as the organizations' leaders and specific members for "conspiring to terrorize the District" on Jan. 6, 2021.
The 84-page complaint alleges that the groups "entered into a conspiracy… to storm the Capitol building" and injure Vice President Mike Pence. The suit alleges the groups and their leaders committed the civil conspiracies by interfering with civil rights, failing to prevent the event, intentionally inflicting "emotional distress" and committing battery and assault.
A vocal advocate for police reform, Racine said: "We are filing this lawsuit to hold accountable the groups and individuals who conspired to attack our freedom, brutalize our law enforcement officers, and terrorize our community."
The Democrat attorney general is seeking a jury trial and unspecified "substantial financial damages" from the defendants. "By seeking justice through this civil lawsuit, we will hit the organizers, planners, and participants in their wallets and purses in order to deter and dismantle their ability to strike again," Racine said in a press release on Tuesday.

Doesn’t the District of Columbia belong to Congress?
Obvious SLAPP lawsuit but they’re emboldened by the fact that they weren’t completely thrown out over the Charlottesville Civil suit which did the same thing.
Do you think this will only help their numbers?

This just totally burns me. The thugs attacked Republicans for years, and not too long before this, and nary a word.
were civil suits filed against blm and antifa for the riots, damage, church burning, etc? Hell no - they got a damn plaza named in their honor. this case should never see the light of day.
This country is done.
On a related note. PB have shifted focus. Gone local where the grass roots are:

Huge abuse of power.
Can’t find an actual crime so the government tries to snuff them out.
No mention of lawsuit against antifa though….
And for some reason District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine failed to name Oath Keepers leader Ray Epps in the lawsuit.

Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't think it's done. It's actually a gift that the left is so outrageous. They are no longer stealth, and their facade of reasonableness is gone. To be honest, the biggest hurdle we have is not the leftist Democrats. It's the RINO Republicans who have allowed the left to flourish.
Bad idea. The top of these organizations were infiltrated by the NKVD, excuse me, FBI. Discovery can be a bi%&h.
Is This a civil rights suit?
Optics...
Were they infiltrated like the tea party?
Yes, specifically the Oath Keepers:

No community organizing on the right will ever be allowed.they are sxared because we are the majority. They work for us.
Oh, suits were filed all right but they have friends in high places.
Per US District Judge Brian Jackson
“Although many entities have utilized the phrase “black lives matter” in their titles or business designations, “Black Lives Matter” itself is not an entity of any sort. Therefore, all claims against “Black Lives Matter” must be dismissed because social movements lack the capacity to be sued.“
