211 Bootbum Has a Day in Court, Next One is June 8

John Young

John Young is to date the only one of a group that was arrested for attacking twin brothers they believed was associated with antifascists groups. And he was pretty much alone in the courtroom too.

211 Bootboys associate John Young, who authorities say was part of a larger group of the neo-Fascist group that attacked two twin brothers outside a bar on Feb. 11 (2/11) was in court today for a routine appearance before his trial.

In today’s proceedings in New York Supreme Court, Judge Michael Obus found no reason to notย continue with the case, but while he did not set a trial date he did set another court appearance for Young for June 8. Young appeared in court with only his attorney and an older, grey-haired woman. No other associates of the 211 Bootboys were apparent in the courtroom.

The incident took place outside the Clockwork Bar on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and authorities allege that Young participated in a gang assault on the two brothers because one had a decal for NYC Antifa affixed to his phone. The 211 Bootboys are known for their far right nationalism which has gone into support for racist and fascist principles despite many of them being persons of color. It is not known if others may be arrested.


25 Years of Hate Having Consequences !

2025 is a milestone year and we want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of our supporters who have been in the trenches with us for the past 25 years. A lot of groups and people we have dealt with since we started are long gone: Richard Barrett, Matt Hale, the Minutemen and others! But we are still here fighting the good fight, contending with the new generation's version of hate politics. There are trying times ahead, but we believe our reality would be even worse if we did not come together to do this work. If you value the research and reporting that we have done at One Peopleโ€™s Project and Idavox- and you want to see it continue- we hope you will consider helping to keep our mission fired up.
