On Thursday, September 27, the Louisville chapter of the Democratic Socialists Of America held a meet-up at the Silver Dollar on Frankfort Avenue. Members of far-right groups Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and American Guard disrupted the event, harassed customers, and issued threats of violence. When asked by restaurant staff to leave, one assailant pepper sprayed DSA members and Silver Dollar staff. This is an account of what took place from a DSA member who was present: “​I got there late, around 8. Another member told me that there were proud boys present at the bar but we planned to just ignore them. We were all seated at tables on the patio eating and drinking. Then they all came around the sidewalk to the window in the concrete patio wall and started yelling at us. None of us got up from the table. When the manager and employees went out the back and asked them to leave, one of them pepper sprayed her and us. They continued to argue with staff out back and yell at us until the police arrived.” Below are links to the facebook accounts for all of the known attackers. Some of the names may be alias.
