Proud Boys leader arrested for allegedly burning Black Lives Matter banner at DC church

According to DC Metro Police PIO Officer Sean Hickman:
In the past, Proud Boys have been enthusiastically supportive of the police in cities where they rallied and engaged in street violence.

In recent weeks, that has changed.
This was entirely predictable, and it's been frustrating that police have been so slow to realize that these extremists are not their friends.
Earlier this week in Oregon.

Police clash with Trump-supporting Proud Boys in Salem, Oregon, arrests made https://t.co/HXJMoTo2kQ
With the recent arrest of the group's leader, clashes between the Proud Boys and the police could turn violent on Wednesday. Add Antifa and BLM to the mix, and it's anybody's bet what form the RW/LW/PD dynamic will take.
Add in the National Guard and whatever federal agency LEOs are sent in, and...

My head hurts.
When you see the Proud Boys doing their street thug march on Wednesday, just try to forget that they were named after this song. It's why you'll see POYB patches. https://t.co/sE2dKdp6po

These people weren't murdered. They were legally executed after convictions for horrendous crimes, being sentenced to the death penalty, and going through countless appeals.


You can oppose the death penalty as a punishment without pretending that the people executed were victims or that carrying out those executions is comparable to murder.

As an example: Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered a family (including an 8-year-old girl) by suffocating them with bags and then dumping their bodies in a swamp.

That's whose name @CoriBush wants you to remember.

Wesley Purkey admitted to kidnapping, raping, and then murdering a 16-year-old girl named Jennifer Long. He then dismembered her body. He also beat an 80-year-old woman to death.

Maybe we should learn the names of his victims instead, @CoriBush?

Dustin Honken was a meth dealer that murdered 5 people, including 2 girls under the age of 11, because their dad was set to testify against him on drug charges. He was specifically sentenced to death for killing the 2 kids.
