rosyish:antifainternational: lesbian-toddhoward: peetbools: novasforce:novasforce:i haven’t seen anyone on tumblr talking about this and i think we need to just to clarify what we’re seeing here:cully pratt, chris pratt’s brother, a sergeant in the solano county sheriff’s department in california, openly supports the three-percenters, a far-right militia group with ties to the january 6th insurrection at the us capitol among other things, and posts their imagery online.chris pratt hypes his brother, and has also been seen at public appearances wearing three-percenter symbols, thereby publicly endorsing this shit as well.i’ve already seen people try to distance chris pratt from this, saying, “it’s his brother, not him!!” hate to break it to you, but when you are a famous person and use your platform to publicly display symbols endorsing far-right hate and white supremacy, that makes you culpable. he is at best completely ignorant, but that’s giving him a lot more credit than he deserves, frankly; even so, even if he actually is just ignorant, that definitely doesn’t give him a pass. there should be accountability no matter what. The Three Percenters are more than just a right-wing militia. They are a terrorist group and are designated as such by the Canadian government. Here’s a partial list of some of the things they’re responsible for:2017: -Three Percenters firebombed a mosque in MN., narrowly missing killing & injuring dozens of members who are there for morning prayers. The Threepers responsible told police they wanted to “scare Muslims out of the country.” -A self-identified “Three Percenter” is arrested by the FBI after unsuccessfuly trying to blow up a bank in Oklahoma City with a car bombed modelled after the one used by Timothy McVeigh.-Three Percent militia member Tyler TenBrink fires a handgun at a crowd of people protesting an appearance by white supremacist Richard Spencer.2018:-Self-proclaimed Three Percent supporter Joseph “Dymond” Vinci - beats a homeless man with a police baton. When the man attempts to defend himself, Vinci shoots him dead.-Three Percenter Joshua Daniel Miller shoots a 23-year-old man to death.2020: -Three Percenter Benjamin Jong Ren Hung, intentionally drives his truck into a crowd of protesters in Pasadena, California.-A group of volunteer medics arriving to support a counter-protest to a “Back the Blue” rally in Fort Collins, CO are set upon and beaten by Three Percenters militia members.-Thirteen men are arrested after a failed plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan and put her on “trial” for “treason.” At least two of the 13 are in the Three Percenter or Boogaloo Bois militias.-After a pro-Trump rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Three Percent leader Chris Hill and over a dozen masked men rush a group of four counter-protestors leaving the area, hold them at gunpoint and beat them.2021: -So far 16 Three Percenters have been arrested for taking part in the deadly January 6th insurrection Now what did I say??? -- source link
