Massive brawl breaks out outside Glendale CA school board. (Credit: Sergio Olmos)
A huge fight broke out outside the Glendale School Board meeting in Los Angeles as parents, many of them from the Armenian-American community, came to protest the school’s pride events. Naturally, the left-wing zealots—read “Antifa”—showed up in force, and as you will see, some serious punches were thrown on both sides. A heavy police presence attempted to stop the fighting, violently pulling apart combatants to prevent serious injury.
Someone with a bullhorn shouts, “Do not engage! Step away. We are not here to fight!” Maybe that person wasn’t there to fight, but plenty of other people were. One man wearing a black helmet seems to stagger into the arms of policemen as he steps away from the brawl in the second video.

In other footage, a KCAL newscaster can be heard incredulously saying, “Wow. Oh boy” as he watches the violence escalate:

The confrontation was not entirely a surprise, as things had been heating up beforehand, as the Los Angeles Times noted:
City and school officials were bracing Tuesday for a school board meeting that was expected to be volatile as pro- and anti-LGBTQ+ protesters and speakers were set to face off on issues that touch on the role of schools in teaching gender and sexuality.
The agenda for Tuesday night’s board meeting, scheduled to start at 5 p.m., includes a vote by members on recognizing June as Pride month. The meeting comes amid a simmering climate on LGBTQ+ rights that boiled over last week when protesters violently clashed at a North Hollywood elementary school over a Pride-themed assembly.
Glendale school board meetings have been attended by protesters for the last several weeks, with anti-LGBTQ+ activists criticizing district staffers’ handling of LGBTQ+ material.
Glendale police said the clashes between protesters have included shouting but no physical confrontations. The department will have a presence at Tuesday’s meeting, officials said.
It’s notable just how slanted the Times‘ coverage is, calling protesters “anti-LGBTQ+.” They may not be; their argument is that this stuff shouldn’t be forced on their kids.
Glendale has a heavy Armenian-American presence—in fact, it has more Armenians than any city outside of Armenia itself, and some estimates show that the city’s population is 40 percent Armenian. Many Armenians have traditional values and don’t take kindly to having progressivism shoved down their throats. Here’s a tweet from my wife Roxanne last month:
In @cvspharmacy in the San Fernando Valley today & an Armenian guy started going OFF on the pride displays.
Keep pushing, Dems. And you'll find out that the immigrants you've been counting on to vote blue no matter who aren't really down for the anti-religion thing.

A friend of RedState who is at the protest said at 6:55 pm PST:
Yes it’s fine with a little side skirmish but there are still hundreds of people here they have dispersed us from the parking lot but we are basically circling the perimeter on the public sidewalk marching and such
We have been disbursed indoor marching to City Hall now.
The alphabet mob may have just found that they don’t want to mess with the Armenian-American community.
RedState will keep you updated on this breaking story as it develops.
Confused it with Georgia I’m guessing
The Armenians here need to LEARN that they are no longer in the Russia-dominated part of the world, where this ‘Pride’ crap is effectively outlawed. If they don’t learn that soon, in today’s America, they’ll find themselves in jail.

LGBTQPEDOGROOMER!
It is certainly not Americans fighting for their children. That would be racism, homophobia, white supremacy.
Gay means to be happy... not homosexual...
“ so she doesn’t have to worry about it”
Wrong. You need to worry about it everywhere all the time. Do not let your guard down.
“This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”
The rainbow, a promise between God and earth, has been perverted, defiled and erased. Now, it belongs to Satan.
No, it’s not accepted by most. You’re just supposed to think that it is. You’re supposed to feel isolated, alone, a minority, and should just accept your ignorance is wrong.
This is just Maoism in action, a typical tactic by the totalitarians of history.
People have been very tolerant because Judeo-Christian ethics require us to allow others to believe or not, to sin without us standing in judgement (i.e. be judge, jury, and executioner). That *doesn’t* mean the average person is down with the mutilation of children and the indoctrination behind the backs of parents.
I’d argue _most_ people, probably 90%, are completely against this ideology going after kids. It’s clearly cult like, fascistic, and allows for no other point of view. You must agree or you’re a ‘hater’ and want a ‘trans-genocide’ because the only options are ‘transitioning or suicide’. Anything stated against this are ‘words of violence’ so actual violence is justified in response.
That is their position. I do not believe for a moment it is shared by the majority, not even close. Even many in the gay community aren’t in support, they believe the ‘T’s have sabotaged their movement.
Good bless the Armenian parents and their children.
This altercation foreshadows the widespread violence that is to come as ordinary people increasingly resist the LBGTQ+ takeover of American culture. Plan accordingly.
I don't know - many/most of them are Catholic, and their religious "leader" (Pope) insists that queer is good.
ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
********
Sure, but running away isn’t going to work. The home schooling parents need to be out there standing with the public school parents protesting LGBT. Because the home schoolers are gonna be the next target.
If it is a public school, there should be no school advancement of ANY political or religious agenda. The school, and all government units, need to be agnostic - on all political and religious matters, avoiding official positions on any of them.
A “pride” flag or banner has no more place at a PUBLIC school than a Christian flag or emblem.
I support the Armenians. I applaud them for standing up for children and for their beliefs. Amen!
Exactly. No one likes these fascist pedophiles; it’s just that we are taught to be “tolerant.” It’s a manipulation tactic.

Couple this with vote fraud and election fraud, these same “tolerance tyrants” then try to convince the people they voted for their society’s destruction.
Today’s America is a Marxist controlled State, if you haven’t noticed. People need to put some skin in the game if they want the old America back.
Heard a parent say he is keeping his children out until this is dealt with. The school offers Armenian/English as part of bilingual education.
Homeschoolers have already been targeted, many times over the years.
But throwing your kids to the lions is not going to change anything. The change needs to happen first before the public schools can get their hands on them and destroy them.
Why would I want to send my kids to a public school, which abandoned education for anything but pretense, to have them assaulted, raped, beat up, called racists, and indoctrinated into sexual perversion?
How is exposing my kids to that going to fix the problems with public education?
And homeschoolers are not *running away*. You apparently have no idea what it takes and what it took to stand up to family, churches, school districts and social services for the unpopular decision to homeschool. Homeschoolers faced having their kids put in foster care because of their decision and I know families that have had that happen and were seriously threatened with it.
