Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

"Commit terrorism!" LOL memes are great these days! /s
The meaning of terrorism is someone who uses terror to get their political agenda across, no?
Just notice that when these Trumper nazis with guns were actually confronted by those who fought back, they ran.
My title would be proud boys get stiffys while posting violence fetish fantasies online from their parents basements.
Can anyone think of a case where opening fire on unarmed citizens actually caused unrest to die down? Because I can't think of a single case. Even in Russia, the Russian Revolution of 1905 was sparked off by firing on civilians.
In every case I can think of it made things worse for whoever was in charge. Aren't there any counterexamples?
Tiananmen square.
They want it to escalate
They think they do.
FAFO I guess
Weren't there a couple of unrests in proxy states it the Soviet Union that were ended with violence?
uprisings in Czechoslovakia, Hungary etc? Yes very much.
This article is from Friday. It doesn't make it entirely irrelevant, but keep it in mind and take the fear element of it with a grain of salt. Proud Boys are all talk.
I mean to be honest, they’re not Proud Men.
That's a good one, gonna use that.

╱╰━━━╯Over the weekend at least one car drove through a No Kings protest (in NC I think), at least one person was killed in a shooting at a protest (in UT), two Democratic politicians were shot in MN (one killed). This is more than just talk.
To be fair, the person shot & killed at the march was an accident trying to stop a shooter, and the kid who drove the car hurt at most one person who didn't need emergency services. The one with a real agenda was the killer dressed as a cop who had delusions of killing 50+ without realizing he'd be hunted down and caught after the first.
Yes, they're getting violent, and yes, they have plans, but don't give them any more credit than they deserve and scare people. Don't over- or underestimate your enemy.
History shows that the public will side against the group they perceive to be the most violent. So let's let them get that fame before we start firing back
Not disagreeing necessarily, but it feels really bad to voluntarily sacrifice human lives so that we can build good will with the public.
It's a matter of perspective and who would die if such and such happened vs this other thing.
As the old saying goes, the ends justify the means, right?

They’re going to wear “Yes Kings” t-shirts.
This sounds like trump’s talking points. He’s feeding his crime family their thoughts.
With Theil pulling the orange rapist/felons strings.
Probably “bring guns and be assholes”.
Pretty much the only response they’re capable of.
