Louisville Anti-Racist Activists Publish Names, Workplaces of Kentucky Proud Boys

Following the doxxing of Proud Boys in New York who were seen on video attacking protesters, activists in Louisville, Kentucky are also exposing their neighborhood racists.

On Monday, the Twitter account @LouisvilleARA (Louisville anti-racist action) called attention to a recent Medium post by Lucy Whisk, which listed the names of the Proud Boys community in the Louisville metro area. The post is ostensibly meant to deter the local Proud Boys from a planned rally at neighborhood bar Molly Malone’s, in Louisville’s Highlands neighborhood. According to the event posting, the rally is being held in conjunction with the Three Percenters militia group.

Whisk wrote that the outing of the local Proud Boys is also in retaliation to the group’s recent assault on members of the Louisville chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), in which both DSA members and employees of the Silver Dollar restaurant were pepper-sprayed. One DSA member told independent media outlet Unicorn Riot that police conducted no arrests despite the assault.




The blog post itself names 14 members of the Proud Boys network in Louisville and the surrounding areas, and lists multiple photos of each member using images posted to their respective social media accounts. In addition to outing their legal names, Lucy Whisk also listed their workplaces, along with hyperlinks to their employers’ websites and social media.

I know of some kluxers in my state that are not shown on that map. Maybe they don't do the activities listed below the map. It's a sorry state of affairs.

I think this kind of tactics are most effective deterrents. Employers take note. In the age of instant social media, there is no hiding. At every neo nazi rally, those participants need to be documented and revealed. Use drones if need to. It’s way more effective than antifa tactics.

They are part of a network of far-right-wing white-nationalist groups who would like nothing more than to see democracy topple. These groups represent a genuine existential threat to the United States, and they are flourishing under Trump & his far-right administration.

These “people” would be FINE with a fascist dictator in power. They would be FINE with death camps. They would be FINE with eradicating POC, women, liberals, intellectuals and the old and infirm.

These organizations need to be outlawed, and made as unwelcome as Al Qaida or ISIS, because in truth, white nationalists are by far the greater danger to this country.

However it appears the Medium account is suspended, since they are separate accounts.
