3 Arrested After Violence Erupts Outside NYC Republican Club Event

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Three people were arrested in New York City following violent clashes after a speech by the founder of a far-right group, and police say they are reviewing video and may make additional arrests.

According to authorities, Finbarr Slonim, Kai Russo, and Caleb Perkins were taken into custody after police arrived at the Metropolitan Republican Club around 8 p.m. on Friday.

The violence erupted following a speech by Gavin McInnes, the founder of the male-only far-right group the Proud Boys, who describe themselves as “western chauvinists.”

Videos posted on YouTube show clashes between the Proud Boys and groups that were protesting McInnes’ speech.

New York City Public Advocate Tish James called for additional arrests in connection to the melee, and encouraged Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance to pursue hate crime charges.

“I am disturbed and disgusted by the videos I’ve seen of members of the neo-fascist, white supremacist Proud Boys group in hate-fueled mob violence in the streets of New York City,” James said in a statement posted to Twitter. “New York will not become the next Charlottesville, and we refuse to let the actions of a hateful few define out City.”

The NYPD says it’s unclear if the three men arrested were affiliated with either group, but spokesman J. Peter Donald says the department is reviewing video and will make other arrests as warranted.

Earlier in the day, police began a search for vandals who damaged and spray painted anarchist symbols outside the same Upper East Side club.

She is running for NY State Attorney General, on the Democrat ticket (natch). Strong ally of Governor Cuomo. Strongly favored to win.

And real name Letitia James, never heard her called Tish till she decided to run for Attorney General.

The NY voters (many of them) are so consumed with hate, they probably think she is just fine. They get their cue from the Goebbels-like propaganda in the NYTimes. Every now and then, I take a look at the comments there. Scary indeed.

Antifa are not neo- or any other kind of fascists.

They are Red Fighting Front. The fascism comes next.

Did Cuomo actually say that “Here’s a message from a Queer boy..to the Proud Boys”””? I thought Mobbed up guys weren’t gay. Wonder if his father, the late governor Mario, knew?

/sarc and holding my tongue in laughter and glee.

It's today's modern, intersectional white supremacy, reaching out to minorities.

It's not really "white" supremacy -- rather, "western" supremacy. From which many minorities have benefited.

I tell you one thing that we can be sure of, the guys who stopped the fight and got everyone to stop piling on the guys on the ground were right wingers.

Left wingers wouldn’t stop until someone was comatose or the police dragged them off.
