Cops pull guns and fire pepper balls as California 'straight pride' march outside abortion clinic clashes with pro-LGBT protestors
daily mail ^

Posted on 08/28/2022 12:03:14 AM PDT by algore

A 'straight pride' march held in front of a California abortion clinic descended into violence as attendees clashed with counter-protesters and police.

The National Straight Pride Coalition touted the event as a celebration of 'heterosexuality, masculinity, femininity, babies - born and unborn and Western straight civilization, our wonderful country and Christianity.'

Founder Don Grundmann promised a calm organized march, telling the Modesto City council in early August: 'We're a peaceful group, we wanted to have a meeting. We're attacked as racist. We're a totally peaceful racist group.'

But it quickly descended into violence, as angry pro-LGBT rights groups clashed with officers deployed to maintain calm at the event

A large contingent of LGBTQ and pro-choice counter-protesters who took offense to the message behind the march also showed up - and violence ensued.

Skirmishes broke out between the groups, with counter-protesters draped in rainbow colored capes and holding placards that read 'Only the struggle has won - Women's Rights,' 'Fascists not welcome' and 'Straight Pride is Hate Pride.'

LGBTQ protesters threw bottles and, in one heated clash, swung signs on sticks at the Straight Pride members, driving them back away from the clinic toward the parking lot of a local Wendy's.

Police in riot gear - helmets, shields and batons - arrived to drive the LGBTQ counter-protesters back and disperse the groups.

There was a brief standoff in the parking lot of the Planned Parenthood clinic in which a phalanx of police pushed up against a wall of LGBTQ protesters.

Police could be seen pointing shotguns armed with pepper balls - hard plastic projectiles - at the crowd and firing. Authorities drove the counter-protesters back to a local car lot where they drifted apart

I am amazed to cops defended the original protesters. They must not have gotten the memo.

Was it red, white or black pepper? That might be a thing.

I am too. When I first saw the article, I figured the cops would be attacking the pro life, pro heterosexual crowd, with .50 caliber rounds.

(Don Grundmann) “We’re a peaceful group; we wanted to have a meeting. We’re attacked as racist. We’re a totally peaceful racist group.”
Is this an accurate quote? Not a good way to get taken seriously.

I am not sure about the quote,

but sometimes I wonder about ADL, Blm, and La Raza

I wonder if they could be described as such

La Raza changed their name back in 2017. They are now “UnidosUS”.

Unofficially, of course.

Kinda how ACORN pretended to dissolve, but changed its name to all sorts of different new names, forcing you into a game of Whack-a-mole.

Same here.

I expected to read that the straight pride group was the one assaulted and even arrested by the LE.

Luke 17:28-32
King James Version

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Remember Lot’s wife.

It would be cool if hell was a zoo. So you can go visit hell and have Shitlery fling her poo at you as you taunt her eternal damnation.

If they’re racist, it doesn’t appear to be against blacks. From their website:

“we will be protesting at the Planned Parenthood (PP) killing facility, located at 1431 McHenry Av., from 12 to 2 P.M. against the PP genocidal holocaust against the black community (documented at BlackGenocide.org ) which has killed more than 20 MILLION blacks”

So the headline makes it sound like the ‘”straight” group started the trouble. But it’s totally the opposite.

You have to read a little to find out that it’s the pro-abort people who started the violence.

Normal people are not allowed to say the word “pride.” Normal people are slated for extermination, after all their money is redistributed, and so are not allowed to have any pride or self-esteem.
