Plaquemines Sheriff's Office probes complaint that deputy is part of alleged hate group(Proud Boys)

The internal affairs division of the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office on Wednesday (Aug. 8) began looking into a complaint that a patrol deputy is part of a right-leaning organization that some have categorized as a hate group.

The Sheriff's Office received Facebook screenshots and other images purportedly showing that Deputy Brian Green is a member of the Proud Boys, a conservative, men-only group whose members describe themselves as "Western Chauvinists."

"To determine the factual and credible intentions and values of this organization, we are in contact with our federal partners to obtain reliable law enforcement intelligence that confirms or exonerates this organization as a hate or supremacy group," Sheriff Gerald A. Turlich Jr. said in a written statement released Thursday.

According to the Proud Boys' website and social media pages, the group eschews racial guilt and extolls gun rights, closed borders, minimal government and the "veneration of the housewife."

The Proud Boys, founded in 2016 by Vice Magazine co-founder Gavin McInnes, rejects the "alt-right" or white nationalist labels, claiming to be a diverse group that does not discriminate based on race or religion or sexual preference.

Despite the denial, the Southern Poverty Law Center categorizes the Proud Boys as a hate group whose members affiliate with known extremists and use white nationalist memes. The SPLC also accused the group of using anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric.

Proud Boys members have attended alt- and far-right events such as last year's violent "Unite The Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va., which was organized by a former Proud Boys member, according to the SPLC.

exactly. Proud Boys were the ones holding free speech and prayer rallies getting attacked by ANTIFA.

If three or four tech lefties can rule the entire internet and conspire to remove giant voices of the right, or in Alex Jone’s case a voice of descent, because remember he could not stand GWB, then this needs to be dealt with asap. Some FR members need to stop shrugging their shoulders and writing “Well start your own internet” because they have no clue what this means for a few companies to collude to remove voices off of not just their site but the internet all together.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE THESE CRITICS OF LEFTISM ARE STARTING TO GET PURGED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE MIDTERMS..

What if some pols on the left had a talking to with their tech giant buddy donors, and ask them for a little favor?? A little favor like shutting down voices on the right since you know, traditional media is rendered useless to combat those voices.

You know that is what is happening here, right? Silencing a ONE political party ahead of a major election.
Jones was on these forums spouting his same stuff FOR OVER A DECADE in the case of You Tube, but now he’s offensive?
Same with Gavin and The Proud Boys.

Don’t call me a conspiracy theorist, but this is the real collusion among the west coast left wing tech giants to get rid of popular voices on the right, and a few months before an important election...it is obvious. Remember the IRS targeting tea party groups at the behest of McCain, and others.
Look at what the FBI was involved in doing to try and run a soft coup on POTUS. Don’t put anything passed the elite globalists and their corporate pals.

Yet the left talk Russia Russia Russia, and these bastards are actively conspiring to influence an election. First with fraud and found ballots, then the long game of importing millions of illegals, and now censoring people.
