The event is the latest debacle for the Proud Boys, an all-male group group of self-proclaimed “Western Chauvinists” created by Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes.

PHILADELPHIA—Members of the far-right Proud Boys and their allies were vastly outnumbered by protesters at a rally here outside the National Constitution Center on Saturday, the group’s first public appearance since New York police arrested some Proud Boys after a high-profile October brawl.

Roughly two dozen people turned out for the “We the People” rally outside the center which sits hailed grounds that include the Liberty Bell and building where the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Hundreds of protesters opposed the rally from across a police barricade, with chants and musical instruments that drowned out the conservative event.

The event is the latest debacle for the Proud Boys, an all-male group group of self-proclaimed “Western Chauvinists” created by Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes. Proud Boys follow a number of rules set down by McInnes, who left Vice in 2008, including restrictions on how often they can masturbate. Proud Boys can achieve their highest level by getting into a fight on the group’s behalf—although McInnes has since insisted that the fight can only be in self-defense.

The rally was not an official Proud Boys event, although it was organized on a Facebook group run by Proud Boys. It also drew other extremists, including members of the “3%” militia, as well as people who simply described themselves as Trump supporters.

1. Three different groups and the best they could do is

"roughly two dozen protesters". So that's about eight per group. Impressive!!

2. People in Philly are too smart to fall for their

infantile attempts at inciting violence. The Proud Boys should rename themselves the Proud Babies since that is their level of maturity and intelligence.

3. If they can't bring their guns the seldom show up.
