'Proud Boys' run out of LA bar by democratic socialists calling them 'fascist'

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/397177-proud-boys-group-run-out-of-la-bar-by-democratic-socialists-calling

The L.A. chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) shared video of the incident on Twitter, in which their members and others from anti-gentrification group Defend North East Los Angeles can be heard chanting and yelling “F--- you fascist,” “Get out of here, Nazi” and “Facist pigs, squeal — you’re all swine.”

The Proud Boys are a far-right organization of men that was started by a former founder of Vice Media. They describe themselves as "western chauvinists" who "refuse to apologize for creating the modern world," according to their web site.

They say they are anti-racist and "anti-racial guilt," but the Southern Poverty Law Center describes them as an extremist group because members regularly use white nationalist memes and associate themselves with other extremists.

“Last night our members and allies in Defend North East LA ran a proud boy meet up out of the Griffin in Atwater Village,” the DSA wrote on Twitter. “The bar knew about it and the manager defended them, but we shut it down anyway. Don’t let nazis convene in your city!”

They came down to San Diego a year ago just for our Impeach tRump rally and they incited violence, wouldn't let our speakers speak, had bull horns, etc. The sheriff's stood around and watched and allowed it to continue. Finally one of our guest speakers, who was a city council member, and called the chief of police to call the sheriff's office and separate their group and then they finally did get the Proud Boys away. We didn't fall for their taunts and showed them the peace sign which really pissed them off.
