A “Make America Great Again” rally in Huntington Beach, California, descended into violence Saturday after a masked anti-Trumper pepper-sprayed and punched event organizer Jennifer Sterling.

Furious Trump supporters flew into action, beating down a group of masked protesters who came just to disrupt their event. A massive brawl erupted, ending with several arrests.

Travis Guenther — whose wife was also pepper-sprayed — chased down the masked man who assaulted his wife and hit him with a flag that said: “Trump, Make America Great Again.”

I'd have shoved that flag so far up his butt, he'd need a plumber to get it out.

Outlaws and terrorists wear masks. No one else needs to.

Perp looks like a rag head.

This is what it’s going to take, folks. Retaliate in force.

Sand in perp’s face, take down, face down in sand, three guys on top til cops arrive, charge asault and battery for pepper spray attack. Demand arrest.

Kinda sad.
He wasn’t hit very hard, and he was able to get up again without a assistance.
ONce they had him down, they should have delivered a good curb stomping - broken jaw, cheekbone, and / or orbitals. Send him away in an ambulance.

As soon as one of these `antifa’ cowards is unmasked he shows his true color: yellow.

While we can cheer the response of “our side” to the masked and violent interlopers, I want to warn everyone that this is the exact type of conflict on the streets that occurred between communists and NAZI brownshirts in Germany in the 20s and early 30s.

I don’t mean that the masked men are communists or that the Trumps supporters are NAZIs but when conflict in the streets occurs instead of civil discourse, any country is headed for a cataclysm.

You could argue that the left is the party of anarchy and ‘resistance’ vs. ordinary Americans but that doesn’t solve the problem of the widening chasm between the left and right.

What’s next? Both sides begin to deploy bully boys in identifying armbands and shirts to attack the other side. So far we’ve only seen a small group of leftists or anarchists
at Trump rallies. But is a response by Trumpers far behind?

Look, if you are going to attend such an event, you should go with the *expectation* that there is going to be violence.

If you are going to be in a group, you should divide labor so as to get the best results. This can be from simple to complex, and different situations require different preparations.

If a vehicle based attack is possible, you need to post armed “pickets” with radios on the routes of approach, and pick a gathering site that is at least partially protected from vehicles, such as being surrounded with concrete obstacles like planters.

The next layer of defense is against charges by attackers, typically masked, as happened in this case. They need to be interdicted before they can get to the group. Importantly, they used pepper spray to attack with impunity, so defenders should have goggles at ready to protect themselves, and to use ‘hard’ defensive weapons like spring or snap batons to quickly neutralize them.

Next there should be an “equipment man”, who has things like high test (250lb), pre-looped nylon tie handcuffs. Assume one for each wrist and one between two wrist loops, and another for the ankles. This guy doubles as the communications person.

Everyone in the group should have a short list of distinct key words to yell to indicate that something is happening, if they spot something.

See masked people at a protest?

Carry paint ball guns.

Aim for the heads. They will flee.

This was an AWESOME event, hard on the heels of Based Stick Man in Berkeley.

I know these antifa types very well. They are larping about “revolution”, and because they only talk to each other, they believe (really) that victory is right around the corner. Their big “wins”, like making old men cry when they get pepper sprayed, get broadcast all around the country to their a**hole “comrades”.

If enough of them get their asses kicked before the shooting starts, we may be spared the worst of it.
