Proud Boys are gathered in Vancouver, Washington, right now, about to cross state lines to commit some mayhem in Portland in a few hours, which technically violates state and federal law.

I& #39;m counting 50-60 Proud Boys, but they may have others waiting to meet them in Portland. https://twitter.com/karinapdx/status/1309888989101318145">https://twitter.com/karinapdx...

5/ On Friday, Eugene Antifa leaked a set of logs from the PNW Patriot Coalition-- a group of Proud Boys, militia members, and Operation Werewolf-- where they coordinated violence against protesters. https://eugeneantifa.noblogs.org/post/2020/09/20/inside-the-pnw-patriot-coalition/">https://eugeneantifa.noblogs.org/post/2020...
