Alleged Proud Boys Leader Declares 'Standby Order Has Been Rescinded' While Some Trump Supporters Pr

With many Trump supporters and the campaign denying that President Trump lost the election after it was called for Joe Biden on Saturday, protests have continued along with threats of violence by far-right militants, including the claimed head of the Proud Boys.

The purported leader of the violent Proud Boys group said Saturday that the group was “rolling out” and that the “standby order has been rescinded.”

Clearly armed with unknown intentions is not a way to go through life. I do not think these assholes are that stupid. When you are of an age that you maybe have a few years left, odd hobbies for a liberal, it is best to leave people alone.

Do you think that will be enough to protect the rest of us from the Proud Boys patrols? Or will they spot my small sign that says “Vote. And tell them Ruth sent you” and know me for an apostate?

Keee-rist. How many in this country are simply nuts?

know who Mr. Kalashnikov is. Reminds me of a great line from a movie, and I’ll keep it short. Bad guy shows a gun at good guy, who points to his and tells him “you think they quit makin’ guns after they made that one.”?

try to blend back into society just like many of the Nazi party members did.
Just to bad we cannot ban them as well as the most vulgar of the MAGA and pro Trump people from every holding public office.

are fully infiltrated. They may get away with a few isolated terrorist attacks but most will be hauled into jail before any major shit goes down.

I was among those here that said these punks would slither back into their holes if their source of emboldenment was just another citizen.
Now, that's happened and the "tough guys" are saying "never mind".
Totally predictable.

The Gretchen Whitmer plot was foiled by an undercover informant.

They will be curtailed for the most part.

It is the ones that do not telegraph their plans that are a problem.
