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.

There's always the chance that other people are smarter and better informed than you. And prettier. Think about that.
My suspicions are in the abstract.
Suspicion borne of ignorance is paranoia.
If Gavin is legit, then no problem.
He is legit. Despite the one Wikipedia article you read.
Can’t you people recognize sincere vigilance when you see it?
Are you the shield that guards the realms of men?
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
I'd characterize it more as misinformed stubbornness wrapped in a narcissistic demeanor.
Okay, well have some mercy on me then.
If my suspicions are off, then set me straight.
But don’t get so defensive
You’re not Gavin McInnes. Why the tantrum?
Why are you making reference to my appearance?
Was that another slip?
Do you represent Proud Boye.What are they?
How do you tell if a given activist group is a plant or not?
In the early days, David Brock claimed to be conservative. Then he goes straight to George Soros and starts Media Matters.
It’s what these clowns do. You know what it’s called, don’t make me say it.
And you may be the head Bozo. . .calm down, go have a beer.
By the way, since childhood I’ve considered myself homely in appearance. Something another kid said to me.
Objective evidence never really broke that image in my mind.
If Gavin were a plant, would you know it?
Funny how the proud boys and antifah are exactly the same thing, and the whole thing is staged by the globalists.
******************************
Are you a plant sent here to stir things up?
If Gavin were a plant, would you know it?
************************
If YOU were a plant, would we know it?
I don’t trust these public conflicts.
They seem staged.
Many have been.
Sorry I misspelled it.Proud Boys,Do you represent them.?
You just failed Logic 101
If they’re not leftist or controlled opposition, I apologize.
David Brock started out as controlled opposition. So did Ariana Huffington. Then they went commie.
It’s the Pied Piper method of the deep state.
As I stated earlier, I don’t know if these people are leftist plants.
Maybe it’s better never to question anyone with an established public image?
I can’t see myself going along with that, though.
Sorry I have no idea who they are.
