New York City to Charge Members of Far-Right "Proud Boys" Group
---------------------------------------------------------------

In New York City, police plan to charge nine members of the white
supremacist group "Proud Boys" on counts of rioting and assault after
they violently attacked people on a Manhattan street on Friday night.
The NYPD announced the charges on Monday following public outcry after
videos showed dozens of members of the group physically assaulting
anti-fascist protesters after attending a talk by leader Gavin Mc Innes
at the nearby Metropolitan Republican Club. Three people protesting the
Proud Boys also face charges.
