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, Kinsmans lawyer, argued during the trial that Antifa and the prosecutors were in cahoots:
These people arent the New York County district attorneys 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.

Of course, any kind of socialist subsidy for a race or any cause is left wing. Mussolini was a Leninist and bragged about copying the methods of Lenine.
The globalist program involves creating groups like antifa and creating an “enemy” of antifa supposed to represent patriots, and then staging conflicts between them.
The cia has done this for decades.
Truly, I don’t know if proud boys are one such creation of the globalists. But they fit the profile at first glance.
Uh, whitey don’t have no civil rights. Probably got convicted for being punchable naught-zees. Yeah, it’s bass ackwards.
Closer to CWII.
The epitome of what a “Kangaroo Court” means.
GTFO
I would plea for a retrial. There must be better lawyers than what they had.
You say way too many ignorant things.
They did not cooperate with the authorities.
The state still got their convictions.
Maybe then you should do more than glance before you open your yap.
I know.
Unreal.
Upside down world.
Oh, rly?
Tell us which positions and beliefs, of theirs, that are leftist....with links.
I hope there will be an appeal.
This is the epitome of injustice.
“McInnes was a leading figure in the hipster subculture while at Vice”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_McInnes
“The hipster subculture is stereotypically composed of young adults who reside primarily in gentrified neighborhoods.[1][2] It is broadly associated with indie and alternative music and genres such as chill-out, folk, modern rock, pop rock, and post-Britpop. Hipsters also frequently flaunt a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility, wearing vintage and thrift store-bought clothing; hold pacifist and green views; are often vegan; consume organic[citation needed] and artisanal foods, and craft alcoholic beverages; and live alternative lifestyles.”

“pacifist and green views”
“alternative lifestyles”
Wow, I’m drawing flak again!!
Why is it always you?!!
Don't be a slave to Wikipedia. Stop being a sheep.
There's nothing leftist about Gavin McGinnis or the Proudboys.
Quite the opposite. Don't pop off about what you know nothing about.
#ProudOfYourBoy

LOL....nope.
Some people can ignore stupidity. I can't.
Get your mind right and we can be the best of friends.
