New York police arrest first two suspects in Proud Boys street brawl

New York City police on Friday arrested a second suspected member of the Proud Boys, the far-right group involved in a chaotic street brawl a week ago in Manhattan.

Police detained John Kinsman, 39, of Morristown, N.J., early Friday afternoon, hours after making the first arrest. Kinsman was held for investigation of attempted gang assault, attempted assault, rioting and criminal possession of a weapon.

Nothing in particular against these guys but they should not have been invited to the Republican Metropolitan Club to begin with from what I see.

The violence followed a speech that night by Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes at the Metropolitan Republican Club on the Upper East Side.

Maybe I just don't understand. They will get a trial, if the other side, agitated them, I hope they are treated justly.

"New York City police on Friday arrested a second suspected member of the Proud Boys,"

Definitely they are arresting the Proud Boys. That's all I know so far.

Today in America, 'law' is politics. In D.C., New York, Chicago, California, you can forget about any kind of objective justice. It's all politics.

So, this wasn't an antifa street brawl?

Once the media labels someone 'right wing' or 'white nationalist' its pretty much open season. No need to hear their side of the story.
