Violent Proud Boy Leader Shot in Foot

[Milchshake]

Remember kids, statistically gunshot wounds to the foot are most often;

• Accidental
• Self-Inflicted

Proud Boys were in Olympia Washington on Saturday. Presumable to take part in Anti-COVID protests. Proud Boys instead veered a mile away from the protest to "hunt down antifa".

A leader of the Portland Proud Boys was shot in the foot during an anti-COVID protest in Olympia, Washington, social media reports show.
Live-streamers covering the protest against COVID-19 mandates near Washington’s state capitol showed Tusitala “Tiny” Toese bleeding from the foot or lower leg after five gunshots rang out in the mid-afternoon hours of Saturday, Sept. 4.
Local police taped off the scene at the Intercity Transit mall on State Avenue Northeast near Franklin Street, according to the footage, and medical personnel also responded.
It’s unclear who fired the shots that struck Toese, though the right-wing Proud Boys had been pursuing black-clad figures called antifa, a left-wing movement, in the minutes before the shooting.

Video from the Proud Boys embedded streamer: FreePressMediaNEWS shows no sign of antifa. Just Proud Boys yelling at women, brandishing weapons, threatening locals.

Olympia PD have not released any details. And were also absent on the scene. Well not in any official capacity.

"Anti-COVID protests".

That's the one and only confirmation one needs that these are really, REALLY moronic people. And with guns at their disposal, they're dangerous.

If you show up to a rally and shoot yourself in the foot, did Antifa still do it?

[pathora44]

They used their Vegan powers to make him do it.

Have you seen Scott Pilgrim vs the World? Vegan's have incredible psychic powers due to their vegan diet, so being able to telepathically control someone to shoot themselves in the foot is totally in the realm of possibility.

Well, he might have to change his nickname from Tusitala “Tiny” Toese to Mr. No Toese after this.

Irony and karma in one shot...

Clearly they don't have the best caliber of people in their organization.

I'm convinced that America houses the dumbest fucking people on the planet.

I'm convinced that America houses the dumbest fucking people on the planet.

America certainly seems determined in proving it to be true.

It's a shame it wasn't just a few feet higher. He would've been an extremely strong candidate for a Darwin Award.

I’m sure every country has their fair share of dummies.

America is just much, much more willing to share it.

It’s even a state law in Florida!

tarrio got chucked in jail yday as well. someone remind me was tiny patriot prayer before proud boys?

The official word from the city of Olympia is that Touse was shot by someone else. In retrospect that makes sense, there were five gunshots, and even the most incompetent of Trump supporters would be able to hit their own foot in three.

[Breccia]

Tin foil hat time: What if he accidentally shot himself, then they fired a few more rounds to make it seem like there was some sort of engagement so to cover up the obvious shame that shooting oneself in the foot would entail.

Then they better hope the police don't figure that out by, say, finding those bullets or gunpowder residue. Because lying about being shot by someone else is jail time.

[Breccia]

That would require the cops wanting to find something.

Well Thurston County is Democratic, 57/39 Biden/Trump. They can't be that big fans of the Proud Boys.

Portland is heavily Democratic; their police department is not. A lot of recent troubles stem from that.

It’s the PNW. I wouldn’t be too surprised if the 39 included every cop.

Okay, valid. Thanks for the clarification.

It's a problem in *every* city from Ferguson, to Minneapolis, to Portland, to Olympia. It's the shining example of the disconnect of online activism</> to IRL activism. People can make all kinds of Pro-BLM posts, but then assume Olympia Cops might be ok ... argh.
