In June 2022, viral social media posts claimed police in Wilmington, North Carolina, had “escorted” far-right protesters towards an LGBTQ reading event for children at a local public library.
that the sheriff's deputies had"led the Proud Boys and their entourage right through the library TO THE ROOM FULL OF CHILDREN..."
He added that none of the protesters ever entered that room, nor did they attempt to enter it, and"at no time did they cause a disturbance in the library." In a statement provided to Snopes, Linda Thompson, the county's chief diversity and equity officer, said the protesters only entered the library building...After the Storytime program had ended, several members of the protesting group wanted to come inside. Anyone from the public is permitted inside the building as long as they are not actively protesting or disturbing other patrons, based on the library's code of conduct.
Video footage will likely be required in order to definitively answer questions about the NHSO's role in the incidents, and whether or not they"escorted" Proud Boys towards the event. So far, such footage has not been published, and it is not clear what actions and events are shown in the still images posted online by Smith Kahney.
