When an entire group of people want you dead, pacifism is pathological. Condemning those willing to fight back as much as necessary, even more so. Thank you, #Antifa. I stand with you. Punch Nazis! Wish I could. https://t.co/Gp2IFrbaLh

Proud Boy hate groups are found on the Southern Poverty Law Canter, which tracks over 1,020 hate groups in the U.S. https://t.co/C474u8uC2Q
