Proud Boys were the attackers

2018-12-26 22:01:11.063464+00 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Just so I can find it again: NYT obtains surveillance video that shows Proud Boys going around the block to avoid the police blockade between them and the Antifa protesters, and then charging the protestors and throwing the first punches

Edit: I completely misread this paragraph the first time through:

Outside a crowd of left-wing protesters chanted “No Nazis, No KKK, No fascist U.S.A.” After the event, the police kept the attendees and protesters separate, but a handful of leftists, wearing masks, circled the block and tried to intercept the Proud Boys on East 82d Street, the police said.

Reading the article says it's Antifa who went around the block and attacked; then later on(?) two of the Proud Boys went and attacked the leftists.

Oh, yep. My bad, I completely misread this paragraph the first time through:

Outside a crowd of left-wing protesters chanted “No Nazis, No KKK, No fascist U.S.A.” After the event, the police kept the attendees and protesters separate, but a handful of leftists, wearing masks, circled the block and tried to intercept the Proud Boys on East 82d Street, the police said.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
