‘Hey, Boy, What’chu So Proud Of?’ A Proud Boy And His Friend Were Chased Away From Trump’s Kenosha Appearance (VIDEO)

The Proud Boys are doing everything they can to be seen, but curiously not too many people have seen this. That’s okay, we’ll help with that.

KENOSHA, WI – When Donald Trump visited the city where Jacob Blake was shot and paralyzed by police officers and 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse shot three persons protesting the shooting, killing two, a Black Lives Matter protest was there to greet him. They in turn were met by a couple that were supporting Trump and representing the Proud Boys, but they didn’t stay long before the crowd asked them to leave.

Video on YouTube and Twitter show the couple, one of them a woman wearing a red hat with MAGA embroidered on it, engaging in loud debate that turned into anger and taunts when it was realized the man was wearing Proud Boy colors. As the couple was being led away by police with an angry crowd of protesters behind them, police are seen pepper spraying some of them.

The Proud Boys have been particularly active in the past month, finding themselves in altercations all over the country, particularly in Kalamazoo, Michigan where they were turned away by residents during a protest, and Salem, Oregon were several were arrested yesterday after group members attacked a number of counter-protesters at a Back the Blue rally. The Proud Boys are planning more events for September, notably in Portland and Philadelphia, while on October 3 a rally is to be held in Columbus, Ohio.

A Facebook page identifies the man in the video wearing the Proud Boy colors as Justin Sherron, 38 of Beaver Dam, WI. A court search reveals he has had several civil and criminal court infractions in Dodge County, WI since 2000, including theft and traffic violations. The woman wearing the MAGA hat identifies herself on Facebook and Instagram as “Olivia Lauren” using just her first and middle names, her last name revealed on the Facebook URL as Meier. The 36-year-old also living in Beaver Dam, who is celebrating a birthday on Sept. 15, regularly posts right wing memes on both sites and is especially active on Twitter. Their employment status or any further criminal or civil infractions cannot be confirmed at the time of this posting.

Sherron is seen on video talking with filmmaker Ashley Dorelus, and attempted to push the defend the charge that the neo-Fascist Proud Boys were a hate group, pushing the narrative that it was a designation from the Southern Poverty Law Center and as such, Gavin McInnes filed a lawsuit against that designation and suggested that his lawsuit resulted in the resignation of top officials in the SPLC. There is no evidence that the lawsuit had any impact on those resignations, and the Proud Boys, a misogynist, Islamophobic group that promotes the suppression of the rights of women and Muslisms, as well as physical attacks on political adversaries, leading to several of its members being incarcerated to that end, is still designated as a hate group by the SPLC.
