facial recognition do your stuff -- "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" (Gothamist)

An appearance by Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes at the Metropolitan Club, while theatric in performing an homage to the 1960 assassination of a Japanese socialist, had associated post-event violence where isolated anti-event demonstrators were attacked by a larger group of pro-Trump / Proud Boy supporters. Injuries were sustained and there’s video evidence.

Police said they would not “confirm any known group association or whether or not they attended the event you reference or attack on anyone who did attend.”

One assumes that the NYPD intelligence unit knows about Gavin McInnes and the NYC activities of his Masturbationsabteilung. A severe head injury was sustained and the NYPD report makes no mention of Proud Boys. But the cops did seem to arrest the victims of the attack in early reports. This is a pattern of how such attacks occur, away from the event venue, when police presence is diminished. Fog of street war.

Apparently McInnes, by performing a Japanese assassination skit, harbors Yukio Mishima fantasies, considering the Proud Boys functions like a “Shield Society”. We’ll know when Gavin gets passed over for a Nobel Prize in Literature, because there’s always a Kawabata around to score the hardware, or maybe Gavin will settle for the apotheosis of god-emperor Lord Dampnut. One assumes the US Secret Service is also paying attention to such RW assassination fantasy.

On November 25, 1970 Mishima delivered to his publisher the last installment of The Sea of Fertility, his four-volume epic on Japanese life in the 20th century that is regarded as his greatest work. On November 25, 1970, Mishima and four members of the Tatenokai, under pretext, visited the commandant of the Ichigaya Camp, the Tokyo headquarters of the Eastern Command of the Japan Self-Defense Forces.[18] Inside, they barricaded the office and tied the commandant to his chair. With a prepared manifesto and a banner listing their demands, Mishima stepped onto the balcony to address the soldiers gathered below. His speech was intended to inspire a coup d'état to restore the power of the emperor. He succeeded only in irritating the soldiers, and was mocked and jeered. He finished his planned speech after a few minutes, returned to the commandant's office and performed seppuku. The assisting kaishakunin duty at the end of this ritual (to decapitate Mishima) had been assigned to Tatenokai member Masakatsu Morita, who was unable to properly perform the task. After several failed attempts at severing Mishima's head, he allowed another Tatenokai member, Hiroyasu Koga, to behead Mishima. Morita then knelt and stabbed himself in the abdomen and Koga again performed the kaishakunin duty. This coup is called "Mishima jiken" (三島事件, "Mishima Incident") in Japan. en.wikipedia.org/...

x All day I've been asking NYPD why they arrested protestors for assault, but didn't arrest the Proud Boys members who violently beat up three protestors, following a Republican event in Manhattan. So far, they have not told me. https://t.co/SvCgADQ01b Ã¢ÂÂ julia reinstein Ã°ÂÂÂ¡ (@juliareinstein) October 13, 2018
