Saw this on NYC Indymedia:

"By Elliot D. Crooks and Comrade Gumby, breaking news taken from 'The Bwog'
As a large, vocal protest raged outside Roone Arledge Auditorium at Columbia University, Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist was heckled and confronted onstage by students, prompting a fistfight between students and the Minutemen. According to an on-scene report, "there [were] at least two minutes of chaos between students, other students and the Minutemen." It seems Gilchrist was prevented from speaking. [Read Original Post and Comments]
After the confrontation ended, a mosh pit of triumphal students and community members danced and chanted outside the auditorium, "Asian, Black, Brown and White, we smashed the Minutemen tonight!" "
So apparently the Minutemen founder Jim Gilchrist decided to come to NYC and deliver a speech at Columbia University for the Republican club there, but apparently some students bumrushed and took over the stage while Gilchrist was talking, prevented him from speaking. This isn't a planned antifa action, but hey, some xenophobic pricks got shut down.
More details and video can be found at bwog(dot)net (would rather not post link directly, since according to their comments they trackback).
