Proud Boys disrupt Pride event at library in South Bend
Source: WNDU News
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - A Rainbow Storytime program at the St. Joseph County Public Librarys Virginia M Tutt Branch in South Bend was forced to postpone after several men who affiliated themselves with the alt-right Proud Boys entered the library and said they wanted to cancel the event.
. . .
Instead of learning about the different perspectives written in these childrens books, folks at Mondays Rainbow Storytime heard from the group of Proud Boy protesters who claimed the books contained pornographic images.
They dont have the right to plant a seed of doubt about ones own personal body, one of the protesters said. God gave you that body and you dont have the right to make them question that ability. We cant allow them to push this smut on childrens minds without their knowledge.
More than a half dozen men identifying themselves as Proud Boys affiliates seemed to have just one goal in mindcanceling the event.

The statement said there were unlinked but ideologically affiliated chapters of the Proud Boys operating in Canada and Australia.
New Zealand authorities argued that before the Capitol attack, the Proud Boys had a history of using street rallies and social media to intimidate opponents and recruit young men through demonstrations of violence.
It said the group had put up various smoke screens to hide its extremism.

(148 posts)and used to attend Story Hour there. At that time, South Bend had a large population of 1st and 2nd generation Eastern European immigrants. The town was very industrial with lots of union members and so heavily Democratic that Republicans had a hard time finding candidates to put on the ballot. Boy, has Indiana changed.

(1,726 posts)I'm not saying set them up, exactly but what if there were 50 or 60 able-bodied counter protestors right around the corner?
Best way to deal with a bully is to punch them in the nose.
Afraid they might escalate? They're going to anyway.

(1,032 posts)Those books look like children's books with drawings, not even photographs. Do they show two men holding hands as two daddy's do?
Smut? These guys are fucking freaks. Dangerous violent terrorist freaks. Only a matter of time before they're going to use weapons at one of these events.
