Manhattan jurors hear closing arguments in Proud Boys gang assault case..
The case went to the jury yesterday (Thursday). According to the Daily News, 10 of these incellent mopes were arrested in connection with their violent actions in October 2018 outside of the Manhattan Republican Club, after a speech had been given there by their founder. Of the 10, 7 pleaded guilty. These are 2 of the remaining ones. (I don't know what the status of the last one is.)

Hare and Kinsman took the stand in their defense Tuesday, where they alleged they were “justified” in the attack as they felt their lives were in danger.
In response, Steinglass played footage of the aftermath of the brawl where Kinsman can be heard saying, “I just stomped the s**t out of him.”

Kinsman gave reporters a very fine 'straight armed salute' as he left the courtroom on Wednesday. (Photo in article.)
My personal fav:
During closing, the defense alleged that there was "a secret conspiracy between Antifa, the Manhattan DA’s office and the NYPD."
None of the victims cooperated with the police. The prosecutor had to rely on the video from that store security camera showing their violent actions.
