Declare Proud Boys a Domestic Terrorist Organization

The Issue

Proud Boys are a far-right neo-fascist and male chauvinist organization. They are a violent, racist, and sexist group. According to the Patroit Act they fit the definition for a Domestic Terrorist Group: 

"(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended – (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States."

Right-wing terrorism or far-right terrorism is motivated by a variety of different right-wing and far-right ideologies, most prominently by neo-Nazism, neo-fascism, white nationalism, white separatism, ethnonationalism, religious nationalism, and anti-government patriot/sovereign citizen beliefs."

They should be labeled as such. They should be held accountable for their violent course of actions. Their presence only wreaks havoc. This is not enough. They need to be held accountable for their actions and dismantled. This group often has police, security officers, and sadly veterans. They should not be allowed to attend protests, marches, or demonstrations on race, gender, sexuality, or feminism.
