The usual neo-fascist suspects are doing their typical “an-TEE-fa BAD!” thing on social media, but it looks particularly sad when one considers who they are providing cover for!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

MANHATTAN, NY Perhaps conservative propagandist James Kl\u00fcg was trying to recreate the events of last September when the Proud Boys decided against holding a rally in a West Philadelphia park<\/a> with Sunday’s rally in NYC when he posted a tweet reading, \u201cAntifa has arrived at a conservative gathering chanting \u2018What\u2019s that noise? F*ck the Proud Boys!\u2019 There do not appear to be Proud Boys present.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There were more than a few favorable comments that followed, including one saying that they kept \u201chearing about Proud Boys. They must be very stealthy. Never seen any?\u201d The problem however is that the \u201cconservative rally\u201d at Foley Square was one calling for the release of those arrested for their roles in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building, and it was organized by a group called Citizens Against Political Prosecution, which was co-founded by Randy Ireland, the president of the Hell\u2019s Gate Bridge Chapter of the Proud Boys. The neo-fascist group was well represented in the crowd as well, which stands to reason as over thirty of them are facing charges of conspiracy in regards to the Capitol attack, with most of its leaders incarcerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, local antifascists also came out to counter the event, holding banners that read \u201cWe Will Replace You\u201d, \u201cProud Boys Fuck Off\u201d \u201cFuck Justice, We Want Revenge\u201d and \u201cSolidarity with Antifa Prisoners,\u201d which was in observance to July 25 being the International Day of Solidarity with Antifascist Prisoners<\/a>. The event remained largely peaceful with the few skirmishes that took place happening when the usual vloggers who tend to try and provoke situations with antifa and later post video on their social networks, tried to force themselves into the group that was positioned across from the pro-insurrectionists. At one point a woman employed her stun gun as a threat towards antifa, while another that was chased away left making threats and suggesting that antifa was employed by \u201cthe 8200\u201d, a reference to Israeli military intelligence. There were two arrests, one from someone that accused a counter protester for attempting to slash the tires on his truck. The truck was not damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there was a rally in Foley Square in NYC today, calling for the release of the incarcerated Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Some from that crowd tried to provoke antifa like this guy who asked if they were part of Israel's intelligence Unit. He said this as he was being chased away. pic.twitter.com\/sbAeiEFBfp<\/a><\/p>— Idavox (@IdavoxOPP) July 26, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
