Proud Boys Plead Guilty To Charges Stemming From NYC Attacks
Source: Huffington Post
Prosecutors are recommending as much as a year in jail for members of the Proud Boys extremist gang, two of whom have pleaded guilty so far to charges stemming from a vicious attack outside a GOP event in Manhattan late last year.
Ten members of the Proud Boys appeared in New York Supreme Court on Friday, having initially faced charges of assault and rioting after they were caught on video ruthlessly beating protesters outside the Metropolitan Republican Club on the Upper East Side in October.
Initially, the Proud Boys ― a gang of right-wing extremists founded by Gavin McInnes, known for attacking protesters across the country ― blamed anti-fascists for starting the fight that night. But in December, surveillance video from a nearby building, along with footage taken by journalist Sandi Bachom, made it clear that the Proud Boys were the aggressors.
Two of them have taken plea deals in the case. Jake Freijo and Eryk Kacznyski pleaded guilty Friday to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct in exchange for their freedom and five days of community service. Another two ― Irvin Antillon and David Jacob ― are due back in court later this month.

mistake because that area is the home to the Klan in Ohio.

(129,796 posts)is that the cops arrested the antifa folks who were attacked and let these hoodlums roam the streets attacking more people before the cops were finally called out on their idiotic decision and started tracking these guys down. By then, they had already gone on a coast-to-coast melee, viciously attacking protestors at their events.
