During the gathering near the Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday afternoon, the group of roughly 40 people flew “Make America Great Again” flags and chanted "God bless Trump!" At one point, two demonstrators were hit on their heads with skateboards during a clash.

A few minutes after noon, two demonstrators were hit with skateboards. One of the victims — a man who had been leading the chants — was bleeding from the head but ambulatory. The other refused to give his name to a Times reporter.

Huntington Beach police initially detained two men at the scene. Huntington Beach Police Department spokesperson Jessica Cuchilla said one person was taken into custody.

She said one of the victims was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and that the incident was under investigation.

Skateboards are a weapon preferred by Antifa. They can also facilitate escape.

Kyle Rittenhouse knows how to deal with skateboard attacks...

Correct. A skateboard is a deadly weapon, do not think otherwise.

WTP want more skateboard control.
Better yet, ban all skateboards due to the
fact they can cause serious injury and loss
of life.

I hope that some day any leftist filthbag smashing someone in the head with a skateboard because of their political views gets his or her head instantly blown off.

>> Skateboards... can also facilitate escape.

Try this in rural Texas.

I’m sure the most skillful of the Antifa skateboarders can get away while holding in, with both hands, what’s left of their bowels protruding from that buckshot exit wound, but it does pose a challenge.

Anyone with a skateboard near a rally should be assumed to be Antifa.

Interesting headline:
“Scuffle at pro-Trump rally in Huntington Beach leaves 2 injured”

But reading the story, it looks more like an ADW.
I always thought a ‘scuffle’ was a small altercation between two or more people with different opinions. Like a bar fight.
I guess the LA Times, Yahoo and the three (3) reporters look at ADW against a MAGA supporter as a ‘scuffle’

Skateboards in the hands of a teenager is a means of transport.

Skateboards in the hands of an adult should be considered a weapon.

Especially in a large city. Just start off with that presumption.

Universal background checks must be initiated to ensure public safety, and to keep them out of the hands of the violent. Will the Democrats finally do the right thing on this issue?

Get loud, get proud about this issue. Take to the streets, and take no prisoners.

Remember to, never let a good crisis go to waste.

Rural anywhere is not where protestors gather to make their voices heard. 🙂

The left will start the violence when the Cold Civil War goes hot.

Violence may have to be met in kind.

While I don’t promote either political party the Communists were using tactics such as these in the 1920s on German streets—especially “Red Berlin”. Nazism rose and they (nazis and just many civilians) fought them in epic street battles which the Nazis/Dems eventually won.

The tactic is simple, make it too dangerous to organize, march, or even voice your opinion. They are obviously doing it to conservatives now. Have you seen the recent videos where conservatives are being assaulted at trans protests simply for talking or Holding signs?

This video concentrates on actual armed fighting but Street brawls were far more common around the late teens to 20s in Germany.

The headline should read, “Two were arrested for injuring two Trump supporters at peaceful rally”.
