Proud Boys memo reveals meticulous planning for ‘street-level violence’

The document is so dowdy and formal it resembles the annual minutes of a society of tax accountants. Its index lists sections on “objectives” and “rules of engagement” and carries an “addendum” that provides recommendations for hotels and parking.

On the cover, two words give a clue to the notoriety of the group that produced it: “MAGA” and “WARNING”. That and the date: 5 January 2021, the day before the US Capitol attack.

What goes unsaid on the cover and is barely mentioned throughout the 23 pages is that this is the work of one of the most violent political gangs in America, the far-right street fighters who Donald Trump told to “stand back and stand by”: the Proud Boys.

The document, published by the Guardian for the first time, gives a very rare insight into the meticulous planning that goes into events staged by the far-right club.

The Proud Boys have been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and are alleged to have acted as key organizers of the violent assault on the Capitol.

Trump's very fine people.

yawn but a memo shows them smart enough to be able to read over the homo democrat antifa bunch that can't.

This is nothing new nor shocking.

Get back to me when they have green hair and are burning down the city in a "mostly peaceful" protest.

What cities were burnt down?

[–] Bloodworth79 (5739) 2 years ago

Walmarts, police stations and personal businesses were looted and burned in multiple cities.
Where did they take over that police station?

Remember that one news report and the reporter says mostly peaceful with multiple large fires in the background.

And going by who rittenhouse shot, they group rioting were all felons and child molesters

Don't you think that saying "burned down cities" is a gross exaggeration? It makes it sound like you've never been to any of the cities where priests took place.

And that's not to mention that it had been shown that most of the destruction was initiated by far right terror groups and joined in by opportunists, not protestors who tried to stop the violence.

it had been shown

Speculated. No hard evidence was ever presented.

But we DO have hard evidence of Antifa in the Capitol...

Trumpers we’re Antifa?

[–] Bloodworth79 (5739) 2 years ago

They were taking over public streets, they were ripping people out of their cars and assaulting them, a police station was over taken.

Multiple people killed.

And you have KAMALA and Democrats raising money for their bail.

I'd like mug shots of everyone who she supported and their charges.

100 continuous nights in Portland alone!

"More fake news!! It was Antifa all along!!! But they're also patriots being held hostage by the Deep State!!"

Funny, liberals are all about "don't judge the masses by actions of the few" unless it works in their favor, demonizing Trump supporters. True hypocrites and too dumb to see it.

Nothing you'll ever find will compete with EIGHT FUCKING MONTHS of BLM riots that cost billions in damages, lost revenue and countless destroyed and tattered lives.

The SPLC is a racist organization. They should designate themselves a hate group.

"That didn't happen!"
