Proud Boys to attend Jan. 6 DC rallies 'incognito'

Source: The Hill

Members of the far-right group the Proud Boys will attend Washington, D.C., rallies for President Trump on Jan. 6 "incognito," with leaders of the group saying they will dress in "all BLACK" to mimic the attire of anti-fascist groups and counterprotesters.

The group is known for its signature black and yellow clothing during rallies and protests, where they typically appear in large groups. The group's chairman, Enrique Tarrio, announced on social media that group members "might dress in all BLACK for the occasion."

Additionally, members of the group will likely branch off into smaller formations to remain "incognito."

Thousands of people are expected to gather in the District on Wednesday for at least four planned pro-Trump rallies protesting the certification of President-elect Joe Biden. Protests will be underway as Congress convenes to count the electoral votes approved by the House in December.

And yes, facial recognition has likely already identified most of the extreme right wing in DC thus far. The eyes of the world are on DC and Georgia, so the LEAs are going to be watched. The "observers" will want to know if the US still has its gonads, and if not, who does?Only the US' adversaries will want to see the US fail as a sovereign democratic republic. It looks like one of the adversaries is Trump himself.

He might try to use that as an excuse to something nefarious. Maybe declare a national emergency. Maybe nuke Iran. He'll do anything to try to stop the counting of the electoral votes and officially -- and historically -- make him a LOSER.

73 million people think this is the kind of person they want as president. Scary.

The Republicans still stand with him. WTF is going on?

All groups that draw violent men tend to love black, populist, anarchist, white supremacists and RW extremists in general.



That hoards of "antifa" were running around in sinister, powerful black was their own lie. I suspect they realized it was costing them their own identity color, so they're taking it back.

Find a nice Democratic Rep. that will surely help you in any way they can to access the many programs that a liberal society of safety nets have provided for such times of trouble that you or your family might find yourselves in for various reasons beyond your control .... LIKE A WORLD WIDE PANDEMIC that your leader helped exacerbate ... but maybe you need to live in a BLUE STATE or you may be shit out of luck.

Maybe not the Proud Boys per say. But provocateurs, usually hired by the police, have joined in protests for decades already. They pretend to be part of the Black Block anarchist group, convenient in that they wear black face coverings.

They are the ones that help steer the younger angry protesters to throw rocks through windows, and at police. Then run and hide behind police lines when the batons and rubber bullets and tear gas come out. All to give the protest bad press.

Outright take the government by the power of violence is an option the fascists on the right drool over. Its a fantasy without merit. The testicular and ovarian material to even try to get Americans to back you is observable. You can make real noise. Provide MSM with their rating orgasms. Real Americans will keep our country. Patriots all. Then retaliation becomes another right of citizens against RW oppression...
