Proud Boys: A problem determined to correct itself. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

AKRON, OH \u2013 Andrew Walls, who has been identified as the vice president of the Akron\/Canton Chapter of the Proud Boys, was released from the Summit County Jail on a $25K bond Tuesday as he faces assault and weapons charges stemming from a racist attack on a Black woman outside a bar over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walls, 26, turned himself in to police on Monday and was charged with taken into custody on charges of assault and weapons while intoxicated. A second assault charge regarding another woman that Walls had assaulted. It is possible, according to Akron Police Captain David Laughlin that federal hate crime charges will be filed<\/a>, with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Akron chapter of the NAACP calling on federal law enforcement to press full charges against him. “Violence against women, first of all, was cowardly. Period,\u201d said Akron NAACP Judi Hill. \u201cViolence in this case is a hate crime, period. We cannot accept it, we won’t accept it. It cannot keep going on like this. We have to let people know that this isn’t acceptable, not just in Akron, but anywhere.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, Cameron Morgan, 23, the daughter of a local sportswriter and teacher<\/a>, says she was out with friends in the Highland Square when she heard someone calling others the N-word. When she and others told him to stop using the slur, Walls is seen in video of the incident saying to her, \u201cN—– bitch, shut your mouth!\u201d before striking her and one other woman before others tackled him. Morgan went to the hospital with a busted lip and a concussion. Walls was carrying a firearm, which later led to the weapons charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
