Proud Boys Supporter Warns of 'Civil War' if Donald Trump Loses Election
Source: Newsweek
BY EWAN PALMER ON 10/12/20 AT 3:41 AM EDT
Avideo has emerged of a Proud Boys supporter warning that there will be a "civil war" if Donald Trump does not get re-elected in November and advises people to stock up on guns.
The clip featuring the self-proclaimed supporter of the far-right group was posted online by actor and blogger Walter Masterson and took place during a Trump rally in Staten Island, New York.
The Proud Boys supporter, who is not identified, describes how the group are "not brawlers" despite being known for their violent rallies and altercations with left-wing groups and movements such as antifa.
"But we're there. We're like the Marines, we're the first to come in," he adds.
When asked by Masterson how the Proud Boys reacted to Trump's "stand back and stand by" comments he made during the televised presidential debate, the man said the group took that to mean the president is telling them to "wait for my orders."

Most of these so called proud boys are nothing more than cowards who will flee the first time someone fires at them, they'll go running back to mama's basement and cry.

If you are out there they will kill you..........stay away....don't be the one or two who get caught out and killed.
Stay safe...if we are not there who will they turn on...they are ready to fight...so let the police handle it.
I know what your thinking..the police help them...I know...so don't be there for both groups to unload on.
We win it all by letting them uncork their shit and go off...and letting the police handle it...if they don't...
that will be evident.
STAY AWAY....STAY SAFE...STAY ALIVE........LET THEM BLOW THEMSELVES UP...WHO CARES.

(11,949 posts)In fact, I would guess every Proud Boy chapter has an informant. All it takes the FBI finding one ex-felon with a gun and you have an automatic informant.
And all the militant groups know it. They arent going to do shit now.

(639 posts)A civil war? Really?
How do you propose to convince 340 Million people to react to something.. in one day orver something like an election?
Especially when another series of elections is going to happen in two years? It's not the last election ever, but these nuts want to think it is.
Most Americans understand this fact and will, find these fringe milita groups as the traitors they are. Most are illegal terrorist organization anyhow.
Our Civil War took over a decade of bad legistlation, territorial expansion and resistance to change, to even get started.
The main reason the civil war even got going was the economic boycotts imposed on the south. That alone let them start a war, in a nearly bankrupt state.
What I am saying is, developing and starting a civil war is not a simple thing, that such a teeny tiny group of nuts ( Proud Boys and that ilk) could hope to start.
You might, on a good day, find a few dozen individuals who would actually attempt a coup and then, they may get as far as the local senior center or a Walmart.
They would have more luck finding Bigfoot.

(9,958 posts)Governor Whitmer especially might like to teach the Proud Boys a lesson. I may be wrong, but this seems to be more of a midwestern and western issue, though of course idiots like this are willing to travel to create mayhem. The governor of Pennsylvania also should have its National Guard ready for chaos after November 3.

(11,949 posts)Of all places you would expect to see this shit it would be Florida. But almost nothing. Why is that?
Open carry here, off to the pokey you go. Not allowed. At all.
Interesting. Without being able to march around with the guns they are impotent.
dware
(12,263 posts)you can open carry as long as you are fishing, hunting, camping, etc.
Open carry is not legal in Florida except for a person engaged in fishing, camping, or lawful hunting or going to or returning from a fishing, camping, or lawful hunting expedition.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)But your not hunting on the capital steps, in downtown Orlando or any non-rural area.
Try to open carry in any of those places you are going to jail. If you resist disarming you area going to the morgue. Even Red counties dont put up with it. At least not mine.
dware
(12,263 posts)it unnecessarily alarms people and ties up police resources having to respond to calls of someone open carrying a firearm.
I disagree with concealed carry also, but would prefer it over open carry.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Never carried on my person but it covers more than that.
Never grew comfortable to owning a handgun. I grew up as a traditional long gun hunter. No black guns in my house. Well, my deer rifle is not wood and is technically black. But is a bolt action that holds 4 rounds. You know what I mean by black gun.
So I removed the condition that made me feel it necessary to have the license, let it expire and was done with handguns and the idea of concealed carry. Wisdom comes with age. Sometimes.
Told a righty at work I had let it expire and he was dumbfounded and asked why. I told him because Im not scared to live my life. He took poorly to that answer.

Marines take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I would imagine members of the other armed forces do, too.
The problem is that too few of them have ever read the document to which they swore that oath and even fewer understand said document.
Semper Fi!

(7,616 posts)The police or military are the only visible organizations or targets that will show up and has been pointed out here repeatedly, that won't end well for them.
Well, I guess they could charge a Starbucks looking for "libruls" but R's go there too.
Still, Democratic Headquarters should probably arrange for security the day after the election as there will no doubt be individual attempts at vandalism if nothing else.

If Biden wins, there is still hope that we can save the planet. Because we aren't just fighting for our country, we are fighting for the planet.
This thread lets me know that there are those on our side who will fight. The Proud Bugaboo Beer Belly Bois (PBBBB) will be met with resistance.
Thanks to all of you.
