Well, well. Multiple members of the Proud Boys were arrested for mayhem last month, specifically arrests with charges for Assault and Rioting. Then the FBI makes known that they have put the gang on its list of Extremist group. Now Gavin McInnes is quitting the group and handing it over to a white supremacist who spends most of his time harassing people under the cover as a lawyer in Texas.
The Proud Boys Are Imploding
Excerpts from the article at Huff Post:
The Proud Boys, a punch-happy extremist gang whose members spend their time harassing people online and attacking them in real life, fell apart at the seams last week as the rest of the country gave thanks.
Over the course of the Thanksgiving holiday, the Proud Boys were revealed as an extremist group in the eyes of the FBI; saw their leader, Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes, publicly bail on them; added two of their members to a growing list of defendants in a rioting case in New York City; and named a new leader in Jason Lee Van Dyke, their lawyer who himself is a serial harasser and racist criminal.
........
“I’m officially disassociating myself from the Proud Boys, in all capacities, forever. I quit,” McInnes said in a rambling, 36-minute monologue on YouTube on Nov. 21.
.....
over Thanksgiving weekend, the Proud Boys released a statement, saying in one muddled breath that McInnes was never their leader but that they had chosen a new one: Van Dyke, the group’s sue-happy lawyer. Van Dyke has made national headlines before, once in 2017 for admitting to HuffPost that he threatened to kill an entire family and again this year after he was arrested for lying to police about a burglary he was involved in.
