2 Proud Boys Sentenced to 4 Years in Brawl With Anti-Fascists at Republican Club
NYT ^ | 22 October 2019 | Colin Moynihan

Posted on 10/22/2019 11:36:09 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Two members of the far-right Proud Boys were each sentenced to four years in prison on Tuesday by a State Supreme Court judge in Manhattan who criticized their participation in a “political street fight” last year on the Upper East Side.

The defendants, Maxwell Hare and John Kinsman, were among ten men who prosecutors said attacked four people protesting a speech at the Metropolitan Republican Club by the Proud Boys founder, Gavin McInnes.

The masked protesters, who did not cooperate with the police, were believed to be self-described anti-fascists.

In the sentencing, Justice Mark Dwyer said the punishment was meant in part to deter others who seek to turn political differences into partisan street brawls.

“I know enough about history to know what happened in Europe in the 30s,” he said.

The masked protesters, who did not cooperate with the police, were believed to be self-described anti-fascists.

A group of men hold an event. They're infiltrated by fascists who attack them at their own meeting.

The fight continues outside and the men defending themselves from an unprovoked attack are the ones convicted and set to jail.

There is no justice in America.

Everything in society - tax law, courts, schools, banking/finance, media, churches, etc. - can become a tool of oppression when in the hands of a one-party government/ideology.

I bet the “grand jury” was bought off.

That is a well known fact. These guys were attacked and were merely defending themselves. Meanwhile Antifa goes there merry way maiming and mauling whomever they will while the police stand by applauding. And no one gives a damn.

At the same time, politically biased prosecutors go to great lengths to drop charges against Antifa thugs.

So, in NY, ANTIFA stains can attack someone with impunity and when the target who fights back goes to jail even though the ANTIFA instigators refuse to cooperate with the cops.

And ANTIFA just walks. Good show judge. Gotta be some liberal Obama appointee.

Does this indicate that some extrajudicial Justice needs done to even the score and keep the playing field even?

Could they call this affirmative judicial action for white people?

To see who rules you, note whom you may not defend yourself against.

Here's why what these guys did is doomed to fail:

Right-Wing Activism Always Fails:

The notion that activism is the path to power is not just wrong, it is fully backwards. It confuses cause and effect. Arab migrants in Germany are allowed to grope women and steal iPhones from the locals. They do not do it in spite of the police and government, they do it thanks to the police and government. German right-wingers are not allowed to publicly demonstrate they exist, or that they oppose the state-imposed campaign of Arab rape and theft. This conundrum is not accidental, it is intentional.

Moldbug wrote about the folly of political activism in support of right-wing causes a long time ago. Activism of any kind is not the path to power, it is the end result of power. It is not the way to gain power and influence, it is a victory dance for those who already have it. Doing the victory dance when you have power only reinforces your power. Doing the victory dance when you don’t results in an unceremonious crushing by the state, followed by subsequent official wiping of anybody’s memory of you – unless you came close to succeeding, in which case you are officially rewritten in history as a villain and trotted out as a dirty, evil bogeyman to anyone who suggests anything vaguely resembling your ideas or opinions.

Thanks for that, it explains a lot.

This sentencing is a total travesty of justice. The judge needs to be paid a visit .

FU Judge! The irony in this a-hole's statement is disgusting. Judge hides behind his black robe and yanked by Antifa's leash.
