@benroyce@mastodon.socialOh this is great!
The #ProudBoys owed $1 million to Metropolitan African #Methodist Episcopal Church in #WashingtonDC after the #bigot #fascists attacked the #historic #Black #church in 2020
They didn't pay
So the #courts just ruled that the church now *owns* their #trademark
An #AME church legally owns the term "Proud Boys" and all of their #merchandizing!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer #gang of #violent #racist assholes
