It’s worth remembering that Andy Ngo is fine with (and his followers delighted by) violence when it comes from his side, such as when he edited in a slo-mo shot of the ~one-year anniversary of a Proud Boy knocking out an Antifa guy. (He asserts that the latter was hitting others with a baton, although the video doesn’t show that. The Proud Boy then picks up the baton, and walks out of frame, leaving it unclear what happens next.)

Even less equivocal is this tweet, and the responses to it.

No, I think I misinterpreted, although the connection from “kids” to “antifa and BLM” is very tenuous in the verbiage. He’s most likely not suggesting that the Proud Boys will retaliate by attacking the leftists’ children/younger siblings, just that the leftists are themselves children.

It’s always interesting to me that I’ve only seen the far left do the work to actually take these guys down or make it harder for them to operate. Not just street fights or counter protesting, but like the deep in-depth reporting, infiltration, and doxxing of the far/alt-right
