shit, my bad, the proud boys are neo nazi trump supporters who had been at an event at the Metropolitan Republican Club just before viciously assaulting multiple people.
A mob of pro-Trump right wing extremists appear to have beaten a small group of protesters in the streets of Manhattan on Friday night, following an appearance at the Metropolitan Republican Club by Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes.
Multiple disturbing videos taken at the scene appear to show dozens of Proud Boys swarming two people on the ground, shouting "you're dead, motherfucker" and "faggot" as they take turns attacking them. Three people were arrested following the event, according to police, though a public defender with the Legal Aid Society says she's confirmed that the arrests were of anti-racist protesters. An NYPD spokesperson told Gothamist that they have "no reference to Proud Boys" in any police reports. [Warning: Graphic footage below]

A longer video from Proud Boys member Christopher Wright, which is excerpted in the Tweet directly above, was removed from Facebook this morning. It showed members of the group repeatedly shouting "I LIKE BEER" as they walk on after the assault. The phrase is in reference to recently confirmed Supreme Court associate justice Brett Kavanaugh, who repeatedly declared his fondness for beer during a Senate hearing about his alleged attempt to rape Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in high school.
Around the 4:30 mark of Wright's video, a Proud Boy could be heard shouting, "I had one of their heads and I was just smashing it into the pavement! I ripped that motherfucker's mask off and kicked him right in the head! That son of a bitch! He's a F***ing foreigner!"
A high five is exchanged.
[UPDATE: We've received a copy of that video, which you can watch below].
After the attack, members of the Proud Boys posed for a group photo, according to photographer Shay Horse, who was at the scene. "I haven’t seen a fight that violent in a long time," he tweeted. "The proud boys were totally ready and willing to be violent tonight. They didn’t even wear masks."

i’m sorry you are experiencing that loss in your personal life, but this is not “crazies battling it out” it is violent right wing extremists brutally assaulting innocent people, and if that’s okay with you because they’re wearing MAGA hats something is wrong.
