On Aug 28, a drag brunch in Roanoke, Texas sold out every last seat in spite of fascists showing up to protest. One of the "protesters" was a Proud Boy armed with a barbed wire wrapped bat. Crazy MAGAts and Proud Boys have stormed drag events earlier this Summer, but this time around, the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club was on the scene, fully armed with modern rifles. Their role was defense against and prevention of far-right violence, and their mission worked. The drag brunch was a huge success and the intended disruption a total failure.
