On this day, 14 February 1961, Dainton Connell was born in Brighton. He became famous as a leader of one of the hooligan firms at Arsenal football club. He played a key role in ensuring that the fascist National Front – which was trying to infiltrate football fans – failed to gain any foothold at Arsenal, often confronting paper sellers. On one occasion he even inserted himself at the head of a National Front demonstration, flying a union jack to mock them.
He later became a bodyguard and manager to the Pet Shop Boys. When he died in a car crash aged 46, his funeral was attended by 3,000 people including Arsenal legends like Ian Wright. A memorial plaque to him by the Arsenal stadium was taken down by Islington council.

RYAN (HEAD-BUTT), 1999
“That’s not my blood. I was making out with my main squeeze on a stoop in the East Village and some macho jock dickhead walked by and called us fags. I don’t think he expected me to get up in his face. We scrapped a bit and then I head-butted him and could feel his nose break on my forehead. We ran for blocks, laughing at the top of our lungs, and then jumped into bed, where my boyfriend took this picture of me.”

You’re standing right now with nine delegates from 100 gangs. And there’s over a hundred more. That’s 20,000 hardcore members. Forty-thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain’t but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it?
The Warriors (1979) dir. Walter Hill

Rep. Raskin to Former President Trump Defense Lawyer: “You should have been here on January 6th.” - YouTube

“There was nothing fun here, Mr. Raskin. We aren’t having fun here. This is about the most miserable experience I’ve had down here in Washington D.C. There’s nothing fun about it.”

“You know, counsel said before, this has been ‘my worst experience in Washington,’ and for that I guess we’re sorry — but, man, you should have been here on January 6th.”

CONTENT WARNING FOR GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF VIOLENT ABUSE; DOMESTIC ASSAULT.

Turns out at least nine of the would-be insurrectionists of January 6th - including two Snitch Boys, a Threeper, and the elder Mr. Zip Ties - all have looong histories of violently assaulting/threatening to murder their partners and family members.

WHAT A SHOCK!

It’s almost as if misogyny and violence are key parts of fascism or something.
