1/ On Saturday, 11/16, the Proud Boys are gathering for a rally outside Trump Tower to support Max Hare and John Kinsman, recently convicted of attacking protesters in November 2018. Everyday antifascists are mobilizing to protest them. This is why.https://twitter.com/UARFNYC/status/1192935874872455168 …
2/ The Proud Boys are a hate group founded in 2016 by Gavin McInnes. Their basic worldview is misogynistic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and deeply anti-trans. Here's the Southern Poverty Law Center with more on that.https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys …
3/ So what are the Proud Boys rallying for on Saturday? They're supporting Max Hare and John Kinsman, recently convicted of assaulting protesters in October 2018.https://www.thedailybeast.com/proud-boys-maxwell-hare-john-kinsman-sentenced-to-four-years-for-upper-east-side-brawl …
4/ Here's a video of Max Hare immediately after the attack. He's saying, "I had one of their fucking heads, and I was just smashing it into the fucking pavement."https://twitter.com/jangelooff/status/1051170094208954369 …
5/ That's no surprise, since Hare has a history of violence. Just the week before the 10/12/18 attacks for which he was sentenced, he was at the 10/6/18 Resist Marxism rally in Providence, where he crossed a police line to attack protesters.pic.twitter.com/DjZiyKDS7h
6/ @DavidNeiwert covered that rally here.https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/5/27/1859465/-Far-right-street-brawlers-just-can-t-escape-their-violent-hateful-and-bigoted-roots …
7/ The Proud Boys are ostensibly rallying in NYC on Saturday to support Hare and Kinsman. But in August, their leader, Enrique Tarrio, was caught on camera admitting that the rallies are just an excuse to fight and waste taxpayer money in liberal cities.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-rallies-portland_n_5d5e9882e4b0dfcbd4893ee5 …
8/ “We’ve wasted all their fucking resources to make this rally. We want them to waste $2 million and we’ll do it again in two months," said Tarrio.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-rallies-portland_n_5d5e9882e4b0dfcbd4893ee5 …
9/ And that's exactly what they're coming to NYC to do on Saturday-- waste taxpayer money, spread their hateful views, and start fights if they can.
10/ So on Saturday at 12:00 p.m., come join a mass mobilization of everyday antifascists to show them that hate isn't welcome in NYC.
