"Shoot Your Local Pedophile" merchandise is connected to far-right extremist group "Proud Boys"

 This blog has already covered both merchandise containing the slogan "shoot/kill/hang your local pedophile/sex offender" and the far right extremist group, the Proud Boys. However, I've never really made the connection until now that the "shoot your local pedophile" and related slogans were mostly used by the Proud Boys until recently. It seems like the phrase was intended to be, in part, a show of support for the Kyle Rittenhouse, who murdered two protesters in Kenosha WI. One of Rittenhouse's victims was a Person Forced to Register, which was used as a defense for committing murder. 

As seen on the now-removed Proud Boys website, the Proud Boys were selling "Kill Your Local Pedophile" t-shirts:

Similar merchandise also appeared on the 1776 store, another Proud Boys front:

Some news reports have also documented the use of this slogan during protests in which Proud Boys members participated:

Tensions are rising outside the Kenosha County Courthouse in Wisconsin where jurors are deliberating the fate of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old facing intentional homicide charges for shooting three people and killing two during a protest in August 2020. Gaggles of his right-wing supporters, including at least one waving a giant “Let’s Go Brandon” flag, which is a conservative meme making fun of President Joe Biden, were already congregating outside the courthouse Tuesday, the first day of deliberations. Several burly men, including one with a hat saying “Shoot Your Local Pedophile,” lined up on the steps. 

Meanwhile, activists, including some who were wearing T-shirts saying “Fuck Kyle,” called for Rittenhouse’s conviction. Both groups came with megaphones and got into shouting matches. Earlier in the day, photographer Alex Kent captured a man in a pickup truck doing a Nazi salute in the direction of Black Lives Matter protesters outside the courthouse.

Opposition to vaccine mandates and the expansion of powers by the state and federal government were a common theme expressed at a small and peaceful rally held Saturday at the Ceres River Bluff Regional Park. Gathering at noon were representatives of conservative and patriotic groups who advocated pushing back against controversial policies that have governments mandating COVID vaccines as a condition of employment and attendance at public schools....

Debra Hunt offered assistance to any parent wishing to pull their children out of public schools because of the state COVID vaccine mandates to home school them... Hunt, who described herself as a conservative who disagrees with vaccine mandates, said she was a bit shocked to see members of the Echo Company of the California State Militia and the controversial Proud Boys. At least one member of the Proud Boys donned a ball cap that read “Shoot your local pedophile” and a shirt with an emblem featuring brass knuckles and a military style rifle and the words: “Proud Boys American as F---.” “I’m not against the Proud Boys. I respect their freedom loving but the Militia is the one that was like, wait, what? Why am I in a place with the Militia?” laughed Hunt. She noted that militia members were nice and respectful and supportive.

Proud Boys, QAnon supporters, and many Anonymous sects all use similar symbolism, along with other similar slogans including QAnon's "#SaveTheChildren" campaigns. But at the heart of all thse groups are terrorism and extremism, and all these dangerous groups should not be allowed to spread their filthy propaganda. 

"#TangoDown" -- Melanie Larkin's TikTok account suspended LOL

She claims it is temporary, but she knew it was coming so she made a backup account. But Melanie Larkin, the worthless TikTok bimbo who made a misleading video TikTok video to compel others to harass Registered Citizen activists, was taken down from TikTik. Better late than never, TikTok. 

I don't forgive or forget either. You should have expected me. 

#TangoDown. Maybe Scott Sonnier aka "Nikolai Romanovski" will be the next "tango down" LOL

Keep seething bitches, as you run all over Facebook in vain to silence less than 1% of my message :)

Florida Thug gets only two years' house arrest for punching elderly Registrant to death

It is a sad story all around but Pujols dodged a major bullet. If Pujols had murdered a non-Registrant, he would have served a REAL prison sentence. You don't punch frail old men in the face no matter what they call you. And now you have a reord that will follow you the rest of your life and will always be seen as a violent thug. 

All that street macho crap got you house arrest and 3 years probation, but now you'll have a harder time getting a job for life. I hope it was worth it, you piece of crap. 

Although the attack was not seemingly the result of registry status, I'm almost certain the fact the victim was a Registered Person led to the extremely light sentence.

Florida Dunkin’ employee sentenced for delivering deadly punch to customer who used racist slur

Florida Dunkin’ employee sentenced for delivering deadly punch to customer who used racist slur

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A Florida Dunkin’ employee was sentenced to two years of house arrest after delivering a deadly punch to a customer who used a racist slur against him.

A Tampa judge ordered Corey Pujols, 27, to complete 200 hours of community service and attend an anger management course after Pujols pleaded guilty to felony battery.

Last May, 77-year-old Vonelle Cook, a registered sex offender, was irate when he went into the Dunkin’ and started yelling about the quality of customer service, police and prosecutors said.

Pujols, who’s Black, asked Cook to leave, which is when Cook called Pujols a racist slur. Pujols punched Cook, who fell to the floor and hit his head. Cook died three days later.

Initally, Pujols was charged with manslaughter, reported AP.

In agreeing to a plea deal, prosecutors considered the “totality of the circumstances,” including Pujols’ age, his lack of criminal history and the fact that he did not intend to cause Cook’s death, Grayson Kamm, a spokesman for Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren, told the Tampa Bay Times.

He said they also considered the behavior of Cook and what he said.

“Two of the primary factors were the aggressive approach the victim took toward the defendant and everyone working with the defendant, and that the victim repeatedly used possibly the most aggressive and offensive term in the English language,” Kamm told the newspaper.

Cook was a regular customer who had gone through the drive-thru on May 4. After the employees had trouble hearing Cook, he started berating them for their poor customer service, according to court records.

Cook was asked to leave, but he instead decided to park his car and go into the store. Pujols asked his coworker to call the police when Cook came inside. Prosecutors said Cook started arguing with Pujols and called him a racist slur.

Pujols came around the counter and told Cook not to say the slur again. When Cook repeated it, Pujols punched him in the jaw, court documents noted.

Cook’s autopsy showed that he had a skull fracture and brain contusions.
