Boogaloo Bois, Black Panthers, Fred Hampton Gun Club, and alleged Proud Boys were all out for a rally in Virginia.
Now, one might not think that these folks would see eye-to-eye on anything. What can bring such disparate groups of folks together?
They were all out for a pro-gun, Second Amendment rally to protest Virginia’s draconian anti-gun efforts.
People are beginning to gather near Virginia’s state Capitol for today’s pro-gun rally. So far there seems to be more press: pic.twitter.com/yppMKqj1qt

There are various different groups out here — including Proud Boys and Boogaloo boys. Some of the groups don’t seem to like the others pic.twitter.com/5RRFQ0kedr

A Boogaloo boy says they’ve got a gift (“a little statement”) for the governor that should be arriving soon. We haven’t been told what this is yet.
“It’s gonna make a nice statement,” he says, adding that they received this anonymously: pic.twitter.com/MmmBl6PyKs

After being asked if they will shoot cops to prevent an arrest:
“Every time my boys come to this stuff, they come with the understanding that they could be arrested and they come with the understanding that they refuse to be arrested. I hope that paints a picture for you.” pic.twitter.com/B5Mxf8seCT

Boogaloos are often identified by the media as “right-wing” but, in fact, they are closer to anarchists, are generally anti-police and anti-government, and have aligned themselves with the BLM/Antifa during the summer riots. Leftist media tried to paint them as “infiltrators” but they actually are supportive of some of the goals such as being anti-government.
Then there were the Black Panthers and the Fred Hampton Gun Club folks who have often marched in pro-gun rallies, with at least one person in a BLM shirt.

A police officer just stopped a few Proud Boys from walking through the Black Panthers/Fred Hampton members.
“Ya’ll be safe tonight,” one of the PB said as they walked by. pic.twitter.com/iHqEh28H7J

Proud Boys leader issued a recent statement that the Proud Boys wouldn’t be going out to any militia events so some are questioning whether these are actually real Proud Boys. They say they are a Virginia chapter and have on the Proud Boy Fred Perry attire and were also selling Proud Boy stuff at the rally.
Black Panthers/Fred Hampton Gun Club just moved together as another group began to walk up. The groups are now standing about 20 feet from each other, each doing their own thing. (And yes, someone is selling PB shirts) pic.twitter.com/Oad7CoSHcd

Even Crackhead Barney was there. Yes, indeed that’s her performing name. A little theater of the absurd. I think the second video is supposed to be Joe Biden.
Truly, no clue… pic.twitter.com/ZsEGWjxvwV
