At least 7 stabbed at protest outside California Capitol

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — At least seven people were stabbed Sunday when counter-protesters clashed with members of right-wing extremists groups that planned to hold a rally outside the California state Capitol building in Sacramento, authorities said.

California Highway Patrol Officer George Granada said about 30 members of the Traditionalist Worker Party were gathering for a rally around noon Sunday when they were met by about 400 counter-protesters and a fight broke out.

As people tried to leave the area, smaller fights broke out, Granada said. He said no arrests had been made as of Sunday afternoon.

He said the Capitol remained on lockdown three hours after the large fight broke out but that things had calmed down and only about 70 "anti-fascists" remained in the area.

Videos from the melee posted on social media showed mounted police officers dispersing a group of mainly youth, some with their faces covered, while some throw stones toward a man holding a stick and being shielded by police officers in riot gear.

Sacramento Fire Department spokesman Chris Harvey said many other people had cuts, scrapes and bruises.

The local Fox affiliate reporting 10 hospitalized "mostly antifas". Two with life threatening injuries.

400 commies take on 30 White Power bikers and lose.

Badly.

They ought to be good and angry by the time they get to Cleveland.

“I’m a right-wing extremist staging a peaceful protest here at the Capitol.”
“I’m a simple ol’ counter-protester and I’m going to kick your ass!”
“I’m an objective journalist and I’m going to slap labels on you folks so that the violent communists look like the good guys!”

Communist Party USA creates violence that will elicit police reaction. Think Haymarket, think Kent State, think Black Lives matter, think Occupy Wall Street. Their tactic is known and obvious and repeated.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Soros or the FBI funded both sides to stir up an incident so the authorities had an excuse to crack down and take away rights.

Yeah, I was trying to find a definition for a “right wing extremist”...and I figure they are what you said plus they are law-abiders, freedom lovers, anti-fascists, and are not Obama voters. There....fixed it.
