It is necessary to state at the outset that I despise Neo-Nazis. But that does not mean that I approve of violent attacks on them as they peacefully exercise their rights to free speech. And that seems to have been what happened in Sacramento yesterday, despite media reports that report violence erupts and other such passive voice euphemisms that obscure the difference between perpetrator and victim. An important caveat is that I was not there and am relying on both reading between the lines of media reports and on local Sacramento talk radio.

Sturmabteilung vs. Rotfrontkämpferbund. Lotta street fighting back in the day.
>>>The right way to do it is to comply with local regulations and avoid direct contact with the targets.<<<
Agreed! I like to keep enough distance that I don’t have to smell them too much.
I agree.
Many government bodies do not make any effort to restrain leftist violence and destruction, but they treat a handful of national socialist kooks like they’re on the verge of world domination.
Excellent post. Also, the group of “counter-protestors” was led by “By Any Means Necessary,” which was once tagged by the FBI as a potential domestic terrorist group:

That’s a good point. They tend to be quite “organic.”
Noted, thank you for the information!!!
Mike Farris’ facebook post:
In Sacramento, there was a riot with several people getting stabbed. A group of about 30 neo-nazis had a permit to parade for “white power.” A group of about 300 left wing activists attacked them with bricks, sticks, etc. The leftists didn’t think the neo-nazis should have been allowed to parade and deliver their message of hate.
Both groups are anti-constitutional and anti-American. The nazis want to deny the rights of minorities. The leftists want to deny those with whom they disagree the freedom to speak.
It is an American value to allow free speech—including hateful and idiotic free speech to be heard. It is not an American value to silence one’s opponents.
We face down hate speech with better speech not with sticks and rocks.
A pox on the houses of both of the groups involved in the fracas on Sunday. And a pox on the media for reporting this as a clash between right wingers and “counter protestors.”

* The protesters were neo-Nazis. As I showed above there is no evidence of this in either their signs or statements, nor on the web site of the group that held the protest. * Use of the term "white power". With included scare quotes. Is this a term that the organization itself used? Is "white power" particularly a bad thing, especially compared to "black power" and "Hispanic power" and "girl power" and "gay power"?
Is there some particular reason that all other groups and enjoined to celebrate their power by whites alone are viewed as provocative criminals when doing so? *Both groups are anti-Constitutional and anti-American. Again, this may be true, but does he really know anything about the Traditionalist Workers Party or is he just virtue-signaling by going along with obviously false and malicious left-wing memes? I don't see anything to back up his slanders, so I am not very impressed with his "reporting" or even his opinions, if that is what they are.

Currently, he’s very involved in the Convention of States movement. He considers himself a constitutional conservative and has a lot of sway among conservatives in Virginia.
One set of Fascists vs the other.
Not anarchists. Group call themselves “Anti-Fascists”, which is California PC for hard corps Communists, hence the red flags.
see Post #19
I fear that you are mistaken what happened at this event was the launching of a new meme & that is the idea that fascist deserve to get beat downs wherever they are & anyone who disagrees with the leftists is a fascist, that is Republicans in general and Trump supporters in particular.
This little exercise was about testing tactics among the various elements that claim to be part of “Antifa” (antifascist movement (move on Black block anarchists SEIU)& to establish street cred .
This is the democrats preparing their shock troops for the GOP convention.
going to more attacks as the “Antifa” view Republicans in general & Trump supporters in particular as fascists. The GOP convention should be interesting to watch.
So that’s what that smell was . I thought it was a feed lot nearby.
LOL!
