1/ I'm going through attendees for the Proud Boys rally at Trump Tower on 11/16. Kenny Lizardo says he's gonna be there with some goof named Joe Reilly. Joe's a dog walker who hangs out at the Leroy Street Dog Park in NYC. Joe Reilly associates with violent hate groups.pic.twitter.com/PoJCl7vuLn
2/ This is the event he's going to, by the way. It's a Proud Boys rally to support Max Hare and John Kinsman, who were recently convicted of assaulting protesters at a Gavin McInnes speech in October 2018.pic.twitter.com/gwpkBreG1n
3/ For more on the attack and the convictions, see this Rolling Stone article.https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/proud-boys-sentenced-four-years-jail-antifa-902310/ …
4/ For the people of Leroy Street Dog Park-- and their dogs-- let's go through exactly who Joe Reilly hangs with. Kenny Lizardo is a member of the Proud Boys, who were designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center in the spring of 2018.https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys …
5/ Kenny's also an associate of the Boston-based Resist Marxism, which was exposed in May 2018 as a front for an antisemitic, far-right organizing.https://thinkprogress.org/resist-marxism-front-for-far-right-organizing-9bd959325ae1/ …
6/ Shortly after that expose, Kenny Lizardo drove from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania to threaten videographer Vic Berger, after Vic made fun of Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/far-right-proud-boys-menaced-twitter-user-on-his-doorstep_n_5b06de68e4b07c4ea1060e92 …
7/ In October 2018, Kenny Lizardo was also present at a Resist Marxism rally in Providence, Rhode Island, where the Proud Boys crossed a police line to attack protesters.https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/5/27/1859465/-Far-right-street-brawlers-just-can-t-escape-their-violent-hateful-and-bigoted-roots …
8/ In January 2019, Lizardo joined Resist Marxism to disrupt the Women's March in Boston, where the group attacked march attendees.https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1086649648666853377 …
9/ In the spring of 2019, Lizardo was part of a Proud Boys planning chat for a thankfully cancelled April rally in Providence. In the chat, the group traded photos of leftist activists they planned to assault, and pics of the weapons they planned to use.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-chat-logs-premeditate-rally-violence-in-leaked-chats_n_5ce1e231e4b00e035b928683 …
10/ When Lizardo posted about this on Facebook, a commenter replies "Crack skulls" and Lizardo immediately invites him to join Reilly and him at the rally. Lizardo's anticipating violence, and Reilly doesn't seem bothered by associating with a member of a violent hate group.pic.twitter.com/KUGLtB23AV
11/ Local activists are planning a counter demonstration to the Proud Boys rally on Saturday. Full event information is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/470603343579157/ …pic.twitter.com/dKV6jQxAuq
12/ So be on the lookout for Joe Reilly if you're going to be at the event. He'll probably be with Kenny Lizardo, a Proud Boy with a long history of violence.pic.twitter.com/wZ3TJnNoqb
13/ And if you're at the Leroy Street Dog Park in NYC, don't approach him, but warn other people about him. He has ties to members of violent hate groups.
14/ I've already informed the Leroy Street Dog Park about him.
And to any Proud Boys reading this and planning to come to the #FreeTheBoys event tomorrow in support of far-right street violence?
The same thing is going to happen to you.
15/ We're going to find out who you are, and we're going to warn your communities about you, Proud Boys. We're going to tell your schools, your employers, your churches, even the dog parks where you take the dogs you walk.
16/ Because that's what we do as antifascists.
We protect our communities.
Who protects us?
We protect us.
