Who Did It? Stabbing at the White Supremacist Rally

[FindersKeepers]

Come on, people. Hold peaceful rallies and marches. And, counter protesters....just stay home.

Matthew Heiman, chairman of the Traditionalist Worker Party, said his group and the Golden State Skinheads had organized the Sunday rally.


Vice Chairman Matt Parrott, who was not present at the Sacramento rally, said it was a peaceful march and blamed "leftist radicals" for instigating the violence. Heiman said that in the clash, one of their marchers had been stabbed in the artery and six of the "anti-fascists" had also been stabbed.


"We knew we were outnumbered. We stood our ground. We will be back. This is a victory for us because more of them walked away injured," Heiman said.

It's amazing how the story finally starts to clear in just a day.

So, the "counter protesters," who collectively call themselves "anti-fascist" decided they would prevent the neo-nazi's from holding their rally. What were the 100 police officers who were working the rally doing? Taking a break?

It makes one stop and ask which is worse -- the problem -- or the cure?

We now know that the neo-nazis are bad, but the anti-fascists appear to be even worse.

Isn't it funny how two opposing groups, both certain that they are right, can both be so wrong?

Bloody skirmishes broke out near California’s capitol building in Sacramento Sunday as self-described “anti-fascists” attempted to break up a white nationalist rally. Ten people were injured, including two who were stabbed and critically injured, according to CNN.


At noon, the Traditionalist Worker Party – described as a white nationalist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center — and the Golden State Skinheads, a local affiliate, were scheduled to hold a rally at noon outside the Capitol building.


As they assembled, however, the roughly 30-strong group was met and outnumbered by a wave from several different organizations, including Antifa Sacramento and the Black Hawks, who were present with the stated purpose of preventing the white nationalists from demonstrating.


Video and still images show several instances of violence erupting and people fighting and chasing one another, with members on both sides emerging bloody, beaten and bruised, despite the presence of 100 police officers attempting to control the crowd. As of Sunday night, it was unclear how many remain hospitalized.


“They’re not welcome, and if they trip and fall in the process of that, good,” said Yvette Falarca, with the group By Any Means Necessary, of the white nationalists. She had sustained a blow that required her head to be bandaged. “They need to go, and we succeeded in driving them out.”

Actually both groups suck imho, I have no use for neo nazis but they do have a right to assemble and protest like any other group

I read where there were only 30 neo nazi and 400 of the others.

Good golly. I had no idea about the numbers, although I can see the neo-nazis not having a great turnout.

As you say -- although they are disgusting -- they have a right to assemble peacefully.

We're starting to see a rash of violent counter protesters that's worrying.

I can't figure out why 100 officers were there in the first place, unless there was advance warning that there could be trouble.

The Golden State Skinheads vs the Anti-fascists........ should show the highlights on sportscenter.

Idiots vs Morons.

[Truth Detector]

There's the real rub and irony; the "anti-Fascists" acting like Nazi Brown shirt Fascists. Liberuls really are the most dishonest, despicable liars on the planet.

As much as I hate white supremacist ; they have the same rights the Black lives Matter movement have....like it or not.

I challenge the southern poverty law center calling them a hate group.

on what basis do the far left radicals in that group label this group?

Poor Trump is going to have some more medical fees to pay for. After all, he promised.

As far as I'm concerned it's idiots vs. morons and who really cares.

That said there are several things that concern me about not the demonstrations but the reactions too them.

First, supposedly there were over 100 LEO on scene. Did they all go on a doughnut break at once or what?

Second is this:

Come on, people. Hold peaceful rallies and marches. And, counter protesters....just stay home.

Counter protesters have the same rights as the original demonstrators don't they? I do think they shouldn't get physical but they can protest too.


And then there's this:

It worries me how many people are thick enough to buy into weasel wording like that at the link. Come on people! Use your heads!!

Do you have a link to that?

I'm pretty sure he didn't promise to pay neo-nazi bills.

Interesting thing about this is that the antifa movement is becoming dangerously violent. Supposedly only 30 or so demonstrators showed up to the neo rally and close to 300 antifa were there, determined to stop the rally with violence, which they accomplished.

The cops rode through on horses at one point -- not doing much more than hollering and pointing as people were stabbed.

The neo's are disgusting -- the antifa's might very well be worse.
