In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, goodhearted Americans have traveled to Texas to aid in recovery efforts, including a “pro-Western fraternal organization” known as the Proud Boys.
The group, which celebrates Western civilization and its contributions to the world instead of apologizing for it, not only assisted in rescue efforts, but members also collected supplies for storm victims and stood in flood-ravaged neighborhoods with firearms to protect damaged homes from looters.
It was the latter of those efforts that attracted the attention of so-called “antifa” leftists who, of course, had a problem with the group walking around with guns, daring to use their Second Amendment rights to protect the community.

After a picture of the Proud Boys holding guns while standing in calf-deep water was posted to social media, liberals came out of the woodwork to criticize them.
One Twitter user mocked the Proud Boys as being in Texas to “wave rifles around” in their efforts to prevent looting.

Actually, I’d be willing to bet that these guys would do a lot more than “wave their rifle around” if some looters tried to steal from a hurricane victim.
Another Twitter user labeled them “fascist paramilitaries.”

In reality, these were men who, without concern for their own well-being, took up arms to protect a community from criminals.
“(W)hen I saw the picture of a group of Houston Proud Boys, it gave me joy. I saw men who were standing up for their communities,” a writer for the Proud Boys website noted.
Nevertheless, because some leftists believe that the Proud Boys are “fascist” and “racist,” they feel compelled to attack their well-intended actions in helping flood victims.
In fact, as pointed out by a Proud Boy, the group is decidedly not racist, fascist, homophobic or any other insult the left has thrown at them. They are just men who believe strongly in Western society.
“We are a fraternal organization like the Elks Lodge,” founder Gavin McInnes wrote for the Proud Boy magazine. “There are NO racial requirements to be in the Proud Boys. We don’t care what your sexual preference is and that includes guys dating trans.”
In addition, McInnes noted, although a majority of the group support President Donald Trump, some of even backed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
Why do radical leftist groups like antifa have such a problem with Americans going out of their way to help others?
