val was disowned by the Proud Boys
a year ago after he organized a rally in
support of members of the far right facing
charges for violence in Charlottesville,
Virginia, including James Fields, who
would be convicted of murdering Heather
Heyer. The Proud Boys sought to distance
themselves from Charlottesville. Many of
the subjects in these photos were eager to
condemn violence when interviewed, but
their actions this year suggest otherwise:
They were training for a race war, or carry-
ing shotguns at a Pride parade, or bragging
about beating up anti-fascist protesters.
In October, two Proud Boys were sen-
tenced to four years in prison for attacking
protesters outside the Metropolitan Repub-
lican Club in Manhattan.
