Bear in mind that apolitical but violent nutballs get involved in these too, using the political nutballs and non-nutballs as "cover". That is why many of the same people attack Democratic national conventions - they're there for the opportunity to hurt people and get away with it. But the same lefty lawyers who defend the lefty nutballs and non-nutballs arrested at such protests also defend the apolitical violent nutballs, who hide among the political types and lie about the political stuff to get free lawyers when arrested.

So far I have seen nothing inconsistent with the perps here being the apolitical type of nasty. IMO it is more likely than not that the attack was politically motivated, but there is at least a fair chance that it was just the same violent goons who attack Democrats at their national conventions.

One of my prone-to-see-conspiracies-everywhere friends keeps telling me that the victims here were trailed from the event by the perps, but none of the stories he has sent have said one word about that. Maybe someone here can provide me with a link to a real news story, as opposed to a rumor, about the victims being followed.

The news stories I have seen say that the perps yelled insults at the victims until the male victim responded. What those insults were might be evidence of a political angle or that there wasn't one. Insults about the female victim would be evidence that it wasn't political. Political insults would be evidence that it was political. One thing the apolitical nutballs have learned is that it is helpful, when arrested, if the vitims had challenged the perps in any way, so they do try to verbally provoke their intented targets.

That the perps targeted the male victim, who was the most injured, indicates the absence of a political motive.

What would be, IMO, the best evidence of a political motive would be if the female victim was intentionally stomped, particularly if her leg was broken that way. The apolitical nutballs target males, not females, and rarely attack females on the ground. They do stomp downed male vicitms.

Here one report I've seen said the female victim screamed as she was going down, which tends to indicate her leg was broken at that point. While it is more likely that her leg was broken from being stomped while on the ground, it is possible that her own momentum from being knocked down at a bad angle broke her leg (it happens in football and sometimes in soccer). That the story mentions her screaming while going down, but not afterwards, indicates a significantly painful injury at that point.

Most of what I've seen on this has been speculation. If anyone has real information, I'd like to see it, and please post links to it too.
