'Idiot': Guns pulled as Proud Boys and antifascists clash in park

Story by Jordan Green, Investigative Reporter

Militant leftists and Proud Boys clashed on a soccer field in a public park in western Kentucky over the Fourth of July weekend, escalating to members of the two opposing groups drawing firearms, according to video and a police incident report.



The display of firearms took place after the Proud Boys jumped the fences and ran at the antifascist protesters. During the fracas, a woman was knocked to the ground, and the Proud Boys seized at least one of the leftists’ banners before forcing them to retreat.



When officers arrived on the scene, they found the two groups in a verbal argument. The Proud Boys started walking back to the residence and the antifascist protesters headed back to the parking lot. The police did not make any arrests.



Ramos told Raw Story he saw the Proud Boys draw guns but didn’t observe anyone from the antifascist side with firearms.
