2 Proud Boys Sentenced To 4 Years In Prison Over Gang Assault In New York

Two members of the extremist street gang known as the  Proud Boys  were sentenced Tuesday to four years in a New York prison after attacking protesters outside a GOP event in Manhattan last year.

Maxwell Hare, 27, and John Kinsman, 32, were two of  10 Proud Boys arrested  in the assault caught on camera in October 2018. Prosecutors slapped them with charges of attempted gang assault, attempted assault and rioting, declaring them the most vicious assailants that night. Their four-year sentence will include another five years of supervised release, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office confirmed to HuffPost.

The heavier sentences are a huge blow to the Proud Boys, who have been able to host semi-regular street brawls with few to no consequences in cities outside of New York. In Portland, Oregon, for example, they continue to organize violent fascist rallies despite  admitting on camera  that they host these events to spur fights, waste city resources and then blame anti-fascist protesters when the dust settles.

Kinsman and Hare’s crew tried a similar tactic in this case, claiming that they acted in self-defense when they beat down protesters outside the Metropolitan Republican Club  after an event hosted by Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes. But video evidence — shot by reporter Sandi Bachom — proved otherwise, and Manhattan prosecutors never bought the line. They eventually charged the Proud Boys as what they are: a gang.


“As violent extremism rises in America, a Manhattan jury has declared in one voice that  New Yorkers will not tolerate mob violence  in our own backyard,” Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said in a statement after the convictions in August.

Justice Mark Dwyer, who presided over the case, also connected the Proud Boys and McInnes, who has repeatedly tried to distance himself from his gang as its members face charges and get involved in scandals related to the violence they commit.

The DA’s office confirmed that Dwyer called the Proud Boys McInnes’ “soldiers” in court, as first reported on Twitter by reporter Ali Winston. 


After the sentencing, McInnes doubled down on Telegram, saying the two men were “defending themselves,” and blamed the work of various extremism reporters ― including two at HuffPost ― for their sentences. In reality,  McInnes helped arrange their surrender , The New York Times reported.

Eight other Proud Boys were convicted on various charges in connection with the street brawl, including disorderly conduct and riot, and their sentences ranged from five days of community service to 10 months in jail.

The all-male Proud Boys organization — which describes its members as “Western chauvinists” — has been characterized as a hate group by the  Southern Poverty Law Center  for spreading white nationalism, misogyny and Islamophobia.

Though they resent the characterization of their ranks as violent, HuffPost revealed in May that the Proud Boys spend months before their rallies  plotting optics and tactics  to attack protesters and get away without charges.

You're not helping your own credibility by linking antifa violence when this seed is clearly about 2 Proud Boys being convicted of gang violence. Are you going to condemn the Proud Boys or just keep reminding us that antifa is a bunch of thugs, too? Because I don't think any of us need to be reminded that antifa is just as bad as the Proud Boys

I don't know why you describe them as white supremacists. I haven't done much research into them but there appears to be more black males in the video in the seed than I have ever seen at an Antifa protest. From what I have heard of the group they are more centered around embracing their male characteristics and not letting society dismiss their natural behavior as "toxic masculinity". I guess it doesn't really matter when I consider who I'm addressing here. For people like you it's :

white supremacist = racist = xenophobe = misogynist = Trump supporter = Republican 

This is the narrative sold by progressive news programming and obviously it works on a lot of people.

White supremacy and racism are 2 completely different things. Yes white supremacists are racist but not all racists are white supremacists. Any race can be racist. Therefore white supremacy and racism are not the same thing. The point is, when people who ingest too much CNN see any one of those words, they assume all of them apply. When people hear the word racist, they immediately picture a white Trump supporter. That is racist in my eyes.

It's hard to tell but at :39 the guy looks black to me.

white supremacist = racist = xenophobe = misogynist = Trump supporter = Republican 

Not all Trump supporters are white supremacist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic misogynists but virtually every white supremacist, homophobic misogynist xenophobe supports Trump. How could they not when so much of Trumps message has been demonizing and attacking all the people they despise?

"Andrew Anglin, founder of the popular right-wing website The Daily Stormer, heaped praise on Trump. "This is the kind of WHITE NATIONALISM we elected him for," Anglin wrote on his website.

On GoyTalk, a right-wing podcast, the hosts greeted the comments as a return to form on the part of Trump. 

"Trump's racist again! He won me over,"one of the hosts said. To which a co-host said, "He'll win me over when he actually strangles her [Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez] on stage."

You don't use common sense. If I was truly a white supremacist, Trump would be my biggest enemy. Why would I support a guy with his head so far up Israel's arse, that it even makes progressives sick? No, if I was a white supremacist I would probably support Elizabeth Warren who hates Israel, and has social policies that look a lot more like Nazi Germany than America does now.

Why would I support a guy with his head so far up Israel's arse, that it even makes progressives sick?

As my link points out:

"While some groups such as patriot militias and religious conservatives have not wavered in their support, more extremist groups such as neo-Nazi organizations have distanced themselves from Trump, angry over his support for Israel and failure to implement tough immigration policies.

"They're glad Trump said it, but they're still mad at him for other things," Squire said. "They're mad at him about Israel because, of course, they're anti-Semitic. They're mad at him about immigration, that he hasn't fulfilled his campaign promises, so they feel let down." 

Echoing the white nationalists' mixed feelings toward Trump, Patrick Casey, leader of the white supremacist group the American Identity Movement, tweeted Monday: "My reservations about the administration remain, but Trump escalating his attacks on these four horrid women — women who simply do not belong in America, let alone in our government — is more than a little satisfying." 

Mendelson said Casey's tweet encapsulates the changed relationship between white supremacists and Trump.  

"The white supremacist movement is by no means monolithic in their views of Trump," Mendelson said. "In 2016, many embraced President Trump as their knight in shining armor, who was essentially carrying the mantle of their white supremacist ideals. But over time, many have been greatly disenchanted with his execution of these ideals, whether it's building the border wall, or whether it's his alliances with Israel and Jews."

Just because they will vote for Trump doesn't mean they "support" him. There are many people who voted for Obama who wouldn't consider themselves Obama supporters. Sounds like white supremacists like it when Trump trolls progressives(as most people do), but they definitely aren't sold on his presidency or him as a leader. It literally boils down to he supports responsible immigration policy, so they will vote for him.

It's far more likely that because he called Mexicans "rapists" and the immigrants coming from South America an "infestation" and "invasion" that white supremacists continue to stick by him even though some disagree with his supposed support for Israel.

Nawaz, a former British politician who has railed against Islamic extremism and the false use of the Koran to incite violence around the globe, and Quilliam were incorrectly characterized and listed in the SPLC's "A Journalist's Manual: Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists."

Nawaz, 40, announced the suit against SPLC in June of last year, and the organization admitted in its apology that it altered its position after several "human rights advocates affiliated with the United Nations" praised Nawaz's work.

Also, a leader of the SPLC, Heidi Beirich, was quoted during a speech as saying that Nawaz wanted mosques surveilled and that in turn meant "his opinion is that all Muslims are potential terrorists."

But the SPLC pulled back on its criticism of Nawaz after nearly a year.

"After getting a deeper understanding of their views and after hearing from others for whom we have great respect, we realize that we were simply wrong to have included Mr. Nawaz and Quilliam in the Field Guide in the first place," SPLC President Richard Cohen said while announcing the settlement on the organization's website .

Cohen also apologized to SPLC supporters, stating that "it pains us greatly whenever we make a mistake."

In response to the settlement, Nawaz thanked supporters who helped raise funds for the legal battle and claimed a victory against the "Regressive Left," a term he's coined to describe far-leftists.

"With the help of everyone who contributed to our litigation fund, we were able to fight back against the Regressive Left and show them that moderate Muslims will not be silenced," Nawaz said in a statement through a press release . "We will continue to combat extremists by defying Muslim stereotypes, calling out fundamentalism in our own communities, and speaking out against anti-Muslim hate."

Hopefully the SPLC will be sued into non existence. It no longer stands for anything but making money.

Really?

Nawaz won, as he should have.

a 5-4 decision by the Supremes, but the article just slams SPLC over and over for other cases including Nawaz.

an opinion piece about hearsay...the SPLC headqurters "could be" flattened by a hurricane.

This lawsuit was tossed in September 2019

Really? A comedian wanted to join the lawsuit in 2017.  That's rich, old, and as noted above, Nwaz won, got his apology and $$.

Case closed. Maher's opinions are worthless.

more "opinion" from 2017 about the already settled Nawaz case.
