Here's a question I have about the Proud Boys.

So this goes back to the Proud Boys in New York and Patriot Prayer in Portland both confronting Antifa and both getting into massive brawls that end in arrests. But this one considering the separate incidents on both coasts, seems almost too coincidental, and it got me thinking about this aspect of it.

Does anyone else wonder if Gavin McInnes secretly controls both groups? Like he tells the Proud Boys one thing and he tells Antifa another thing and then puts them together in the same room at the same time, and you know all hell is going to break loose. But I can't help but wonder if these guys have synced up drinking schedules or something. It seems almost too perfect that the two groups would know where the other one is drinking at all times. And then Gavin goes to his keyboard to rile up both crowds again.

To me, Gavin is a James Bond villian who you could see sitting in his throne stroking his cat a la Ernest Starvo Blofeld.

No suburban mom wants to get in the middle of that, with her sign and her cute kid. It's a clever trick to suppress free speech.

Right out of the "Putin Handbook for Wannabe Autocrats".
