Two members of the Proud Boys were convicted on Monday for defending themselves against a violent Antifa attack in New York last year. John Kinsman and Maxwell Hare were two of 10 Proud Boys who were charged after being jumped by members of the far-left, terrorist group in October 2018. The men were exiting from a talk by the founder and former leader of the Proud Boys, Gavin McInnes, when they were immediately attacked, unprovoked, by the thugs, who were protesting the event at the Metropolitan Republican Club.
The Antifa members refused to co-operate with the authorities during the trial, and were referred to by nicknames like “Ponytail” and “Shaved Head” in an indictment. Prosecutors described McInnes as a “hatemonger”, and that the Proud Boys supposed attack on Antifa was “vicious, disproportionate and most important, unnecessary.” Jack Goldberg, Kinsman’s lawyer, argued during the trial that Antifa and the prosecutors were in cahoots:
These people aren’t the New York County district attorney’s office. They are the New York County district Antifa office.
Despite the entire brawl being caught on CCTV and cell phones, Hare and Kinsman were found guilty of attempted gang assault, riot, and attepted assault. All but 1 – who is to be tried sometime in the future – were convicted.
McInnes reacted to the news in a public statement:
And the verdict is… GUILTY. The message from the state here is either sit and take a beating or go to prison.

Let’s just face it. New Yawk REALLY sucks.
ATTEMPTED assault?
Of unnamed non-accusers?
Whatever happened to the right to face your accuser?
If you’re guilty of ATTEMPTED assault, wouldn’t that mean you did not ACTUALLY assault anyone?
And since when is trying to LEAVE the site of a protest defined as rioting?
McGiness started out on rebel.tv, a Canadian outfit that make videos fighting back against political correctness & leftism aka marxism. Prof Jordan Peterson does the same thing.
As far as I know, Proud Boys simply does the same.
They are both anti-left which the msm, being leftists of course, has labeled as being alt-right and of course that turned into alt-right extremists and then white nationalist which turned into white supremacists.
Yes, Proud Boys, which has Blacks & Hispanics in their ranks, is white supremacist.
Basically they’ve been called all the same things as Trump supporters have.
Like any large group of people, the beliefs of individual members can vary. There might actually be a few white supremacists in any of them however, the MSM doesn’t show many pictures but there are mug shots of Antifa and they’re all white. There are pics of Proud Boys and they’re NOT all white. Guess who gets called white supremacists.
As for political persuasion, that can vary too. Antifa has a lot of anarchists and proud boys probably has some too. They might both have believers of communism but with different views on who should be the leaders of that and who those new leaders should squash.
As far as who they’re apt to vote for, I’d say in 2016 most antifa members likely voted for Hillary and most Proud Boys likely voted for Trump.
To recap;
Rebel.tv, Gavin McGinnes, Jordan Peterson fight for heterosexual Christian conservatism. (normalcy)
Antifa, Redneck Revolution(They’d love nothing more than to destroy the above.) they fight for socialism/marxism/communism, lgtbqrstv, blue hair, pedophilia, anything goes. (hedonism)
Democrat run States and cities are on the side of antifa.
If it ever comes down to it, I know which side I’ll take.
Alphabet agencies will infiltrate any group and egg them on but Obama the msm and hollywood perpetuated leftism more than anything in my opinion.
Now here’s where the Nazi or white supremacy thing comes in. Some people believe that since Jews tend to be over representative in a lot of the above, that they’re the cause of liberalism having turned into leftism and that they’re the driving force behind the global move towards political correctness, socialism, the green movement aka climate change believers and mass forced immigration policy.
Is there really some nefarious plot of a small group of people, be they CIA or Jews?
Beats the hell out of me. I’ll stick with the old fashioned idea that it’s the devil.
This is New York. You’re not allowed to defend yourself there. That’s why I’ll never go there. ..................... Had Kitty Genovese survived and fought off her attacker, they would have locked her up. Hey, its the land of Jabba the Hut, and Fredo (But Fredo’s last statement is more Tommy Udo than Fredo).
No you’re just a freak show here
But have fun
The Proud Boys are ok in my book. The judge, Virus Vance, and the Jury are no better than puppets in a Stalinist show trial. They will reap their reward some day.
Since you are not allowed to defend yourselves in Blue cities, I hope Antifa tries to spread out into the Red State part of America. They will receive much more than a beating.
You’re right.
I’ll make NY a no-fly zone.
As I said, maybe McInnes isn’t a leftist. Maybe he isn’t even on the Soros payroll.
Maybe he’s just a rare example of a pro-American wanting to make a buck off his activism.
Maybe he’s just a strange example of a pro-American who goes looking for trouble to get headlines.
In fact, maybe he’s a like-minded individual who simply formed a group and then gave it a name that reflects an apparent ignorance of how American patriots express their values.
Who knows?
But does it make any sense for American patriots to fall asleep at the wheel and allow ourselves to be strung along by low IQ deep state actors who like to set up false flags and staged events—the kind with the APPEARANCE of a proud boys stunt—just so they can feel like they’re controlling the narrative as the Titanic of their organization closes the last few yards between them and the iceberg?
One more thing.
If Jordan Peterson isn’t on the Soros/deepstate payroll, maybe I’ll try to find a seller for the Brooklyn Bridge.
That was to send a loud and clear to the serfs and peons. Antifa is us, do not mess with them. If they want to beat the hell out of you, let them beat the hell out of you.
The lawyer is correct. So are the police. The truth probably did not do his client any favors, but he did get it into the Record.
