Say hello to Dane Menough, a Proud Boy whose credits include targeting and suckerpunching me, a 5 foot tall journalist, who did not fall.
He escorted Alex Jones through DC in the afternoon. After assaulting me, he proceeded to hang out at the national monument in the same attire https://twitter.com/itsa_talia/status/1328008499373223939

Side by side of ears of person escorting Jones and photo of Dane. Note identical hat worn earlier in the day as that night in images in first tweet.
Huge thanks to numerous comrades who poured through footage and assisted in cross-confirming. I love you all. Solidarity forever!
. @AntiFashGordon has more info on baby Dane, who’s also the president of the Ohio chapter of American Guard, who can’t punch for SHIT. https://twitter.com/antifashgordon/status/1188870660044546048
The president of the Florida chapter of American Guard confirms the dox by saying I can eat a bag of dicks, which would be the greatest day of that bag’s life 
A cute little triple confirmation of the ID.
Rewatched footage of my assault so many times the last four days, trying to pull as much information as I could. Pieced together a sort of timeline of events between Dane punching me and later hanging out at the monument. Going to dump that here now.
1. Dane walked up to me and punched me specifically, barehanded, mask on.
2. He later puts on black leather gloves, acquires clear workmans glasses that he puts over his RWDS (Right Wing Death Squad) hat. Mask stays on.
3. At the monument, he removes the gloves, hat/glasses stay.

Differences in camera quality and lighting make his coloring appear markedly different, leading one to see that bright red beard and think it's not a match. When adjusted for contrast and alongside other snippets pulled from other footage...
Beyond this ID, the footage revealed two other interesting tidbits:
1. The Proud Boys fighting tactic is 1:1 followed by pile-on. One person attacks, they surround until the person is down.
2. Someone carrying what appears to be a metal pipe ran right toward me after Dane hit.

This explains why I was jostled and shoved so hard after the punch: They were rushing to attack me.
But I wasn't fighting back and I was yelling "I'm press!" over and over. That's when they pivoted and moved on to the shields behind me.

It feels very chill and not at all nauseating to be doing this work on a targeted attack on myself that I still have not had the space to process. Is this gonzo journalism? My tummy hurts.
