A scuffle broke out on a Southern California beach where supporters of President Donald Trump were marching when counter-protesters doused organizers with pepper spray, authorities said Saturday.

"Doused" sounds more fun-loving and prankish than "attacked."


I agree.

The media is protecting their own by using kinder verbiage.

It was actually an attack if peaceful demonstrators were sprayed with pepper spray. Also anyone who conceals his or her identity in a mob situation, should be immediately subject to arrest. Concealing ones identity is KKK tactic, regardless of which side does it.

The media is protecting leftist thugs.

Spraying someone in the face with pepper spray should be considered ASSAULT. The thugs spraying innocent people should be ARRESTED and charged. Are they not being arrested? Why are the police not arresting them?

I'm pretty sure it's a felony to attack someone with a chemical agent, least in California. So ya, 5-O, where did ya go?

Good. About time our guys started showing these girly men what real men do.

I watched as a group of young, athletic-looking men from our side charged through the protesters who were trying to impede the Tromp supporters. They scattered the lefties, and the march proceeded.

There’s another name for that crime. ASSAULT

Attempted murder or at least reckless endangerment, justifying the use of deadly force in self defense, imo. Pepper spray is no joke for people who suffer from a bad case of asthma, COPD or other severe respiratory disease.

“Just my opinion but spraying someone in the face with pepper spray should be considered ASSAULT.”

It is assault. And after beating the living hell out of the black masked cowards the good guys should arrest them and file charges.

I heard Screamin’ Jay interviewed on the radio decades ago. I was laughing so hard I had to pull over.

The mere sight of one of these black masks would be enough to provoke me to see if I could turn it bright red. It’s probably a good thing I’m too lazy to drive to Huntington Beach, I’d just get in trouble.

There’s more of us here than you’d imagine. We just have enough sense to lay low so that our cars don’t get keyed, et cetera.

"they could have pled "self defense" and the jury would have acquitted them."

After perhaps $10,000 fees for attorneys, etc.

Seems a few violent democrats got their butts kicked. They appeared to be some of these masked morons who think they can willie nillie get violent with innocent people.

There are some good videos going around.

Under California Penal Code Section 185 PC, it is unlawful to wear a mask or disguise in order to evade the police:

It shall be unlawful for any person to wear any mask, false whiskers, or any personal disguise (whether complete or partial) for the purpose of:
One—Evading or escaping discovery, recognition, or identification in the commission of any public offense.
Two—Concealment, flight, or escape, when charged with, arrested for, or convicted of, any public offense.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

But it’s California, Jake.

Btw, some of them local boys in that area are pretty tough. Real territorial types. They don't even like people swimming on their beach.☺ I have some video coming up.

Yes, we live in OC too. It was a sad election for us in that respect. It’s also very lonely because we can’t talk to many people about Trump’s wins.

They picked the wrong venue. The local in HTB are overall pretty peaceful, until outsiders show up to rain on their parade. Especially masked outsiders. They won’t last long. And given the fact these masked morons have a clear violent history, this was predictable.

It was a thing of beauty once we got inside the convention center for the Trump rally. The entire place filled with Trump supporters. Everyone was very nice, and covered with Trump shirts and paraphernalia. WHERE THE HECK ARE THESE PEOPLE THE REST OF THE TIME?!

Nothing will happen to these losers. Charges will be reduced or they'll pay a fine, but no body is doing any long-term jail time over this. This is just a game to them.

I've read a couple of places in the last month, that Soros-financed groups that organize and hire these "professional" protestors, pay any fines or legal expenses they may incur as a result of protesting.

This just enables and encourages young thugs to go be "legitimate" thugs with too much testosterone and weed, for them to even care about what happens to them.

They're being paid to be young, stupid and violent without suffering any consequences.

Is this a great country or what....?
