Civil rights attorney and Black Lives Matter activist Kristen Clarke has announced a lawsuit against the Proud Boys for demonstrating their 1st Amendment rights in Washington D.C. last month.
Clarke has filed a suit on behalf of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church against the Proud Boys, hoping to punish the group for seizing and burning a Black Lives Matter banner. There is only one problem: They’re suing a group that has nothing to do with the rising fraternal organization.
Clarke is suing Proud Boys International, LLC, which was founded by Jason L. Van Dyke in 2018. The Proud Boys have cut off all ties with Van Dyke and have not been in official contact with him for many months.
Part of the lawsuit can be seen here:

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio is also listed as a defendant in the lawsuit. Big League Politics reached out to Tarrio to get his take on what he thinks about how the left-wing attorneys foolishly erred and sued the wrong organization, but we could not get in touch with him. There are reports that Tarrio may have been arrested.
Tarrio took full responsibility after members of the Proud Boys seized a Black Lives Matter banner and burned it in a show of disgust against the anti-American, marxist terror movement during a demonstration last month:
That’s some real intelligence. Some other things really ought to be burnt.
Businesses should be suing blue cities and states that abandoned their constitutional duty to protect the public.
Why has that not happened?
Burning a sign does not equal burning down a town. Maybe we should try it. That will get their attention.
Since the left is easy trigger and like to burn American flags, maybe we need to burn BLM and Antifa flags.
Given them some of their own medicine. Unfortunately, they don’t own businesses (unless you go after the global corporations that support bLM.) Burn Wally World Burn. (That’s hyperbole, btw).
Can Proud Boys International, LLC sue?
Just buy the BLM flag and no one can say jack. These guys stole it from a church supposedly, which would be dumb.
Government can make itself immune from those type of lawsuits
Yes, he’s been arrested. Counter suits should be flying if he’s not released immediately.
Not that his being in custody will do much of anything.
Why aren’t people suing those wealthy BLM & Antifa groups for destroying their business if princess can sue for a meaningless Bolshevik Lives Matter flag?
Pretty sure antifa are flammable
Yet, Black lives matter burns American flags and no one says anything.
This should have been kept quiet to allow the case to get before a judge.
