2/ Surprise, surprise-- he's got a history of domestic violence, too, including charges for Assault on a Female, Communicating Threats, and Domestic Criminal Trespassing. Misogyny is bread and butter for the Proud Boys.pic.twitter.com/bGXWXUhiz7

3/ That's just one of the reasons the Proud Boys were declared a hate group by the @splcenter.
For more on their misogynistic, transphobic, and anti-immigrant ideology, see this article from the Southern Poverty Law Center.https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys …
4/ Hufton was part of the Proud Boys/Resist Marxism group that planned a rally in Providence for 4/6. In the chats, the group traded photos of leftist activists they planned to attack at the rally, and traded photos of weapons they planned to bring.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-chat-logs-premeditate-rally-violence-in-leaked-chats_n_5ce1e231e4b00e035b928683 …
5/ One of those messages was Shaun planning to murder me, even talking about the caliber of weapon he planned to use, and the distance from which he'd shoot.pic.twitter.com/PsQQuQI9bB
6/ On Twitter, he goes by @/sunsetkiller, and has since protected his tweets. He also sometimes refers to himself as "Catfish Billy" on Twitter and Facebook.pic.twitter.com/HHyMTXMBOD
7/ In the leadup to the eventually cancelled 4/6 rally, he made numerous violent threats, including when I identified a member of Patriot Front, a neo-Nazi group. I wonder why he feels so protective of Nazis?pic.twitter.com/g6rVhl86LK
8/ On Facebook, he gleefully shared a meme of Edward Norton's character in "American History X," with the swastika tattoo photoshopped to be a Proud Boy tattoo.pic.twitter.com/7ZUneF7TuL
9/ Anyway, if you want to let @TractorSupply know that they've got a violent employee in Scarborough, Maine, who's a member of a literal hate group-- the Proud Boys-- call them at 207-396-5100.
Ask for their District Manager, Michael Lowans.
10/ The police won't protect us here.
@AndyBCampbell's investigative work demonstrated months ago that Resist Marxism and the Proud Boys were planning violence in Providence, and the cops just sat on their hands.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-chat-logs-premeditate-rally-violence-in-leaked-chats_n_5ce1e231e4b00e035b928683 …
11/ We need to fight fascism with all the tools we've got, and today, that's calling @TractorSupply in Scarborough, Maine, at 207-396-5100.
Tell them that Shaun Hufton, one of their employees, is a member of a violent hate group.



12/ Just an hour after posting this thread, the Proud Boys are already trying to mass report me for this, lol.pic.twitter.com/X6edfR6tkN
13/ They do this *every* time, too.
Despite their "free speech" claims, the Proud Boys try to silence the voices of anyone who disagrees with them.
It's a strategy they dreamed up back in March, which was documented by @KELLYWEILL for @thedailybeast.https://www.thedailybeast.com/proud-boys-cite-twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-to-attack-antifa …
