Judge Rules Proud Boys Must Pay $1 Million To Church For Burning BLM Flag

Last week a judge decreed that the Proud Boy must pay a hefty $1.03 million to a historic Black church in Washington, D.C. The reason? In December 2020, amid a tumultuous protest surrounding the U.S. presidential election, Proud Boys members desecrated and incinerated a Black Lives Matter (BLM) banner from the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, a revered landmark in the nation’s capital. 

In his ruling, Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz cited the “emotional trauma” inflicted on the church members due to the incident. He put forth a firm edict, effectively barring the Proud Boys from venturing near Metropolitan AME for the next half-decade and sternly prohibiting them from uttering disparaging remarks or threats against the church and its leaders. 

Significantly, this ruling was a default judgment, given the conspicuous absence of the defendants in the courtroom.

Even though the cost to replace the flag totaled around $36,600, the judge emphasized that “compensatory damages alone will not address the defendants’ reprehensible conduct or the extraordinary emotional trauma suffered by the church and its congregants” and added on another million dollars, writing:

To the members of the church, the burning of the Black Lives Matter sign represented a complete negation of their right to worship as they please and, more fundamentally, to participate fully in the life of the community—and forced them to harken back to the long and painful history of white supremacists committing wanton acts of violence against Black churches.

    3. PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION . . . Protocol No. 8 – Provisional Government . . . (Re: Legal Judgements against Alex Jones & Donald Trump)

      “We must search out in the very finest shades of expression and the knotty points of the lexicon of law justification for those cases where we shall have to pronounce judgments that might appear abnormally audacious and unjust…”

  1. Calling the Proud Boys white supremacists is almost as believable as calling an organization that promotes BLM a church.

    It’s one thing to require restitution for damaged property, but setting the amount at 27x the value of the banner seems…excessive. It seems to me that the new normal is to exploit the legal system through civil suits in order to make examples of people (see Alex Jones’ 1.5 billion dollar civil suit).

    If you look at the so-called tenants of the Proud Boys, there is nothing racial except for “saying people are guilty of racism for what their ancestors did is wrong” and “racism is bad, what matters is someone’s actions not attributes”. In all honesty, they’re a bunch of militant libertarian civ-nats and IMHO, their incineration of a BLM banner probably had little to nothing to do with it being placed outside a church or the race of the church but rather with the fact that they hated BLM, especially given what had been happening the previous 6 months of 2020.

    1. That is absolutely correct.
      I couldn’t believe the hand-wringing and pearl-clutching by even some conservatives about this anti-woke, anti-liberal violence group of ethically mixed individuals – often the only ones protecting conservatives on the public streets while the police stand idly by.
      ANTIFA and the BLM thugs attacking innocent citizens is somehow ‘justice,’ but conservative protectors Proud Boys are racist fascists? Idiots.

  2. “Proud Boys members **desecrated** … a Black Lives Matter banner”…

    This is a Christian site. I know no one “desecrated” a BLM banner, because I know desecrated means spoiling the sacredness of. Something rightfully only God’s.

    Besides the thefts, phoniness, violence and murders of the BLM organization, this reminds me of te voodoo ceremony one of the founders took part it (Patrisse Cullors), as well as the Marxism and lesbianism.
