Pardon our language. Ordinarily I wouldn’t post something like this but I have made an exception. After viewing the video, where do you think this violence too place? California? Europe? Chechnya? Old Miss? Bad flash back from an acid trip in the 60s?
Nope. It happened here in DC and the toad behind the confederate flag is the white supremacist dude from Towson State University. Lots of things happen during DC protests. However, given the age and the student status of some of these protesters, it stands to reason that it is only a matter of time before these kinds of tensions end up on college campuses.
The toad reports that someone threw urine on him. Ewwwww. That is also unacceptable. As offensive as the toad is, he has the right to free speech like anyone else. throwing anything on him was a breach of something, not sure what. It certainly pushed free speech over the line. From my vantage point, it was an assault and battery.
I don’t think there are any good guys in this mix but there might be a few innocent by-standers. There was supposedly only 1 arrest. You have to be kidding me. That came close to becoming a melee.

There were terrible riots in Seattle on May 2. Incredible damage to store fronts and parked cars. Don’t know what the damn crazies want.
@punchak
I saw that! Yea, what’s the main theme? What do they want?
I watched the video with the sound off, and the first act of confrontation it seemed was when someone on the right side yanked the black flag off the person on the left. The people on the left were just standing their ground from what it looked like. With sound on it might be totally different.
Ooooh…commies and white supremacists going after each other?
Where’s the popcorn?
Not sure what any of them want.
Probably just a scuffle. Spoiling for a fight.
Pretty tame stuff compared to what I just got off the Drudge Report concerning the anti-Jewish Jobbik Party in Hungary. Those photos and videos were like going back 70 years in a nightmarish time machine.
Depressing to see Americans tearing each other’s throats out. I’m sure the Russian TV viewers are laughing their butts off.
Wolverine,
VERY scary stuff happening in Hungary. That Jewish population there has had a very successful resurgence from their almost complete annihilation from the holocaust. It’s really scary and the anti Semitism has roots in their current government. THAT is the reminder why Israel exists BTW. Never again will Jews not have a home in times of crisis.
Spot on, Elena. Some of those photos reminded me of Nuremberg in the late 1930’s.
