I think the arguments you are deploying here are ones of trying facilitate the Proud Boys operating in society with freedom and impunity. I cannot help but think that normalising them in that fashion helps them considerably more.
Even more sadly, I suspect that is the intent.
Well I think you need to go back and notice Kwak was referencing the Christ Church shooter and his actions to support his argument.
Also how does fetishizing them as some kind of dangerous fringe group warranting special coverage of basically anything they do help stop them again?
It's how ISIS was able to recruit by spinning press against them to show themselves as some dangerous rebels and how some I.S. brides were pulled into it too.
Tell me what great punishment reporting on them has brought them here again?
How did this bit of reporting stop them operating again?
When they break the law then report on them and let the law handle their punishment.
