The rights to the name and related emblems of the far-right neofascist group Proud Boys have been taken away. You’ll be shocked to learn who they lost to:
The Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, a historic black church that was stormed by the Proud Boys in December 2020.
The Proud Boys came to the streets and engaged in combat with counter-protesters shortly after the Supreme Court denied Texas’ attempt to rig the 2020 election results in favor of Donald Trump.
Enrique Tarrio, the head of the Proud Boys, trespassed on the church’s grounds and set fire to its Black Lives Matter banner during the chaos.
We live in hell. Tarrio was eventually sentenced to 22 years in jail for his involvement in organizing the January 6 insurgency attempt, but he was later pardoned when Donald Trump took office again.
Following the flag burning, the church took the Proud Boys to court. Judge Neal Kravitz said in June 2023 that the group’s.
