We& #39;re talking about the Proud Boys street gang again, so here& #39;s a thread of our coverage, starting with their violent plots at political rallies.
These guys want endorsement from govt and police. They want to hurt people and get away with it. And they do https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-chat-logs-premeditate-rally-violence-in-leaked-chats_n_5ce1e231e4b00e035b928683">https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pro...

My colleague @letsgomathias wrote a good feature in 2018 after Proud Boys attacked protesters in the street and eventually landed in jail for it. They began as a cultish misogynist fight gang under Gavin McInnes, and later gained support in mainstream GOP https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-republican-party-fascist-creep_n_5bc7b37de4b055bc947d2a8c">https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pro...
The Proud Boys have some roots in and around Portland, Oregon, where they& #39;ve held uninterrupted street brawls with protesters for years. They taunt city officials with their events and admit that their rallies are for assault and wasting taxpayer cash https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-rallies-portland_n_5d5e9882e4b0dfcbd4893ee5">https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pro...
The Proud Boys have stumbled repeatedly over the years. Gavin McInnes claimed to "step down" from his own gang after the arrests over the attack in Manhattan, and turned his sights on his neighbors in his tony upstate neighborhood https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gavin-mcinnes-losing-battle-neighbors_n_5c3cdef5e4b01c93e00c7adf">https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gav...

Trump& #39;s "stand back and stand by" line at the debate has made the Proud Boys *extremely* happy, and the mere mention of their name is bound to bolster their recruiting efforts ( @misstessowen reports below).
