Back in January of 2018, a “Night for Freedom” event organized by Mike Cernovich erupted into violence when antifa mobs showed up to protest in their own special way.
Ultimately, a 56-year-old man was rushed to the hospital and the then 30-year-old suspect, David Campbell, was arrested on a host of charges.
The New York Daily News reported at the time:
