And how was he expected to know the guys were proud boys members not I dunno people whose kids were victims of one of the people he shot?
What victims?

yes identified as by people with lots of time, resources and knowledge.

Was there anything to identify them as Proud Boys in the photos?

Or are we now expecting people to carry round ID databases and scan the faces of every-one they meet just incase?
So the proud boys set him up to display a sign that would be interpreted innocently by him but as a white-power symbol by them?

So white supremacists do actually exist, and use that sign to troll?
They will use whatever they can to get gullible people who suffer knee jerk reactions constantly to keep bringing them up or to keep attacking people who aren't that to try and drive more people towards them.

Why does the symbol matter if he’s hanging out with the Proud Boys? Yes, a reasonable person can argue context and whatever, but we live in an unreasonable world where nobody can agree any element of communication means anything. You know what the dude is doing tho? Buddying up to a hate group. Feel like that’s enough, right? Maybe?

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.

Yep. Let them murder first. Can’t do anything until they start murdering

Minority report style, or 1984 style?
Neither. Help people get educated and jobs. Help people get health care. Encourage people to stop with the cancelling and death threats. Encourage safe use of drugs and sex. Helping criminals build a life for themselves. House the homeless. Encourage community programs.

You know, things that work at least compared to the thoughtcrime regimes of Reagan
