Hundreds of people on Wednesday night — including members of the right-wing group Proud Boys — protested the closure of a Staten Island bar that ignored COVID-19 restrictions.
“Proud Boys in the house,” a handful of people chanted outside Mac’s Public House — the defiant pub that was shut down by authorities Tuesday night after operating without a license and in violation of health orders.
One speaker led the crowd through the Proud Boy credo — “I am a proud Western Chauvinist” — before segueing into Queen’s “We Will Rock You.”
The entrance of the pub was blocked on Wednesday night by dozens of city sheriffs — who were verbally targeted by some of the protesters.
“Where is your backbone? Where is your morality?” one protester shouted at the deputies through a speakerphone.
The city Sheriff’s Department executed the order the night before that also led to the arrest of the pub’s 34-year-old co-owner, Daniel Presti.

“You can go to Home Goods and buy a porcelain bunny for your ####### mantle. But these guys can’t sell a hamburger and a beer?”
How many fires did they start? How many windows were smashed? How many stores were looted? But they did shout at deputies through a bull horn, so I guess they were “violent”.

Hey, Ted. Check out the Staten Island, New York values.
What “Ted” are you referring to?
They didn’t have an arrest warrant nor a search warrant, so how did they “arrest” or gain access to the business?
Germany is proud....
Note the leader of the Proud Boys is a Black American Patriot
Leftist media like to describe the Proud Boys as a White Supremacist group.
I trust the defense of this bar becomes a flash point. And please note, yet again, the compliant police did and are doing exactly what they are told to do by the criminal government.

Because NY is scared of their cops. No NYPD officer should have been allowed to walk out of there.
Take this directly to De Blasio and Cuomo. Don’t loiter in the streets shouting at the cops.
The cops are there blocking his business.
That’s because of De Blasio and Cuomo. Take the pain to them personally!
And take some tar, feathers and a sharp rail.
