THREAD: This is Jerry Smith, the head of security for the fascist rally on 11/17 in Philadelphia. He's affiliated with the III% Liberty Defenders, but he's also an antisemite who blames "semitism" for the Proud Boys' recent troubles. He works at @kaneisableinc in Scranton, PA.pic.twitter.com/HYXcKsClCD

5) In particular, he wants Proud Boy Alan Swinney-- a walking shitshow who travels the country attacking protesters-- to be part of the "security" for the event. That's Alan below, wading into the crowd to strangle a protester in Providence on 10/6.pic.twitter.com/H83owcE0Lg

6) As I mentioned yesterday, Alan has a history of catching charges for family violence. You can see more on that here:https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1062013348097810432 …

8) Not a surprise. Jerry's a prepper who associates with eco-fascists. He follows

12) And the Proud Boys chapter in question? It's the Harrisburg chapter. They were in Providence on 10/6, attacking protesters. Their President is Max Hare, who is facing a felony Attempted Gang Assault charge for attacking protesters in NYC on 10/12.http://gothamist.com/2018/10/23/proud_boys_arraigned_nyc.php …

13) I'll be putting out more ways you can help every day this week. Hate has consequences, but only when we organize as a community. The cops won't protect us. Who protects us? We protect us. No hate in our streets. No hate in our workplaces. ¡No pasarán!
