There's no need to when you're posting fake newsEasy... you're posting fake news from a rightwing site.Let's see your evidence they were the ones defending themselves from a mob...Defending yourself from a mob, is not attempted assault.
This is a politically motivated conviction.
Hell, the District Attorney Cyrus Vance so much as said so.
How Gavin McInnes’ Proud Boys and Antifa Turned the Upper East Side Into Hell
" Dozens of police officers guarded the townhouse as nationalists taunted antifascists, "
The mob showed up, at a Proud Boy event, not the other way around.
"Outside, antifascist protestors in all-black held signs reading, “Kill All Rapists” and “Make Racists Afraid Again.” A day before the event, Antifa had vandalized the club and left a note promising the attack was “merely a beginning.” The Anarchy signs remained spray-painted on the club’s front doors, and a broken window still wasn’t fixed."
Numerous death threats? Interesting.
"As the scene on 83rd Street unfolded, Upper East Side parents shepherded children in designer threads past antifascists chanting death threats to nationalists."
Even more death threats? Even more interesting.
"the crowd erupted as Proud Boys began filtering out of the Metropolitan Republican Club. Dozens of police officers escorted nationalists and fended off volatility from Antifa—one antifascist even bodychecked Observer, sending us tumbling against a barricade."
If a "Crowd" "erupts" and has to be "fended off" by police, it is not a "crowd" it is a violent mob.
But the media is so biased, they can't see that, even as they have violence committed against them.
" “You’re literally protecting Nazis,” one Antifa member told a police officer.
McIness later emerged from the club wielding a plastic samurai sword he used to reenact the assassination of Japanese socialist Inejiro Asanuma, taunting protestors from behind a wall of police protection. As he sped away in a car, protestors threw paper cups."
Paper cups? Full of what? Urine? Chemicals? Both have been used in the recent past. And again, if the cops are protecting people from the "crowd" and the "protestors" are throwing shit at their intended victims, it is not a "crowd" and they are not "protestors", It is a mob of rioters.
"Hungover from political extremism, Observer left the vicinity. Minutes later, a brawl broke out between antifascists and Proud Boys. In a video posted by the NYPD’s Chief of Detectives Monday afternoon, a protestor in a ski mask is seen throwing a bottle at a Proud Boy—prompting immediate retaliation from his crew, "
Again, not a protestor. It is an attacker. Part of a mob that had been threatening death for hours, and attempting to attack them, held back only by a heavy police presence.
These specific Proud Boys, tried to sneak out the back, away from the MOB, and the rioter has his chance to attack without police to stop him and did so.
So, they you go. MOB. Just like you asked.
Now, defend it.
observer.com ......
Of course the right blames the left. Meanwhile, it was radicals on the right who got arrested.
Said the man that didn't even try to establish that ONE fact claimed was false.
And I did post a fsct.... it was proud boys who got arrested.
Days after the cops let them go, because they knew no crime was committed, by them.
It took lefty politicians to intervene to get this political prosecution going.
