I had the same sense that there is something being left out of the story. I mean a guy yells something. So what?

The Proud Boys were one of the numerous groups to attend the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville last Aug. Jason Kessler who was one of the organizers is a Proud Boy.

The Proud Boys are nursing the wounds of resentment after events at Berkeley.

The sub-group within the group are the super bad-asses, and are known as the Fraternal Order Alt-Knights(FOAK) and they were organized by Kyle Chapman aka Stickman.

Never heard of them but they’re going to get charged with assault.

"...the Seattle Times to my knowledge has never exposed, criminalized,belittled, scorned, derided,or damned the black masked nazi's carrying weapons....not once..."

Nor, I'm betting, described them as "left-wing."

The Proud Boys have been around for two years or so at least. Here Gavin McInnes explains who they are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmMQoB5kioQ
