An altercation. Someone walks into the middle of this crowd and immediately things get tense. Punches thrown The gentlemam leaves, escorted by state troopers who just stand there while the far right walks past them Eventually they get their shit together and form a real cordonpic.twitter.com/tRevpuQbdm

The same guy leading the "fuck Antifa" chant earlier tells the crowd we're done playing nice. That if Antifa comes out they're gonna leave with a black eye An even louder chant of "Fuck Antifa" "Let them hear you all the way to Portland!!" The crowd is riled up

Proud Boys gather behind white vans right by the Capitol building. Not sure what's up with that The rhetoric is definitely taking a more and more violent turn. Talk about running out of patience, about taking the country back

Replying to @1misanthrophile
It’s interesting to me that they’re so antifa-focused - are they really not election focused at all?

It's interesting to me as well. Earlier there were a lot of speeches about the election, but the Proud Boys seem a lot more excited about fighting Antifa than civil insurrection Then again, they seem pretty confident that Trump's lawsuits will work
