Fun With Knives, Sticks, Skin Heads and Whatnot
Okay, so this weekend there was a rally in California for groups interested in providing “security” for Donald Trump supporters at the Republican National Convention.
It went fairly well.
The Traditionalist Worker Party asked to meet with the Golden State Skinheads to coordinate their activities for the Republican convention to keep people from demonstrating against Donald Trump.
The rally dissolved into chaos, with anti-fascist and anarchist protesters physically clashing with the approximately 30 skinheads who showed up at the event. At least 10 people were injured.
Yeah, they stabbed each other.
They seem like nice people.
Anybody else thinking of Altamont?
1Well, Joliet Jake is no longer with us, maybe we can sick Elwood on ’em. I bet he hates California skinheads almost as much as Illinois nazis.
2Although considerably north and east of Sacramento, our cable feed was loaded with this confrontation. But, that’s media, so not real informative. Based on local “news” it appears that approximately 30 morons showed to represent the skinhead view, while there were about 150 counter protestors. None of the video shows knives or knife wounds. Saw some skinheads with lengths of wood and bleeding who were not arrested for posturing with their wood. While I wouldn’t accuse them of self-inflicted injuries, it is not beyond the “capabilities” of these dumba$$es that they injured each other in their ‘brotherly’ display of standing their ground.
“Still, the brawls that have broken out at dozens of Trump campaign events are already casting a shadow over the upcoming convention. Matthew Heimbach, head of the Traditionalist Worker Party, was one of several white Trump supporters who forcibly ejected a black protester from a Louisville, Kentucky rally in March.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, has described Heimbach as “the face of a new generation of white nationalists.”
However, what I did see on the “news” reels were these alleged bada$$es emerging from their full blown retreat into the Capitol building with head wounds consistent with being clubbed.
No. Tell me it isn’t so that Drumpf supporters and white nationalists wouldn’t fly a false flag.
3I’m thinking they never get together for Thanksgiving. Not enough turkey legs to go around to whack each other with.
4Weeding out the gene pool
5The news I heard on MSNBC was 5 people had been stabbed and taken to the hospital!! If they were using stakes, perhaps they were going after vampires!! Hey, in Sac, it’s possible!!
6There’s a group of anarchists called the Black Bloc that show up at just about every protest in Northern California to cause trouble. They’re mostly white men and teenagers from Oakland and Berkeley. This time they went directly against fascists; usually they infiltrate a left wing protest like Occupy or Black Lives Matter and start breaking things.
7Someone muttered something stupid. Someone else said, “And you’re point would be?” The rest you know.
8Great security…
9And so it begins…
10And so it begins…my poor country
11From Richmond CALIFORNIA, the news was heavily played on all the ten or so news programs. The upshot was that a LOT of anarchists, complete with black outfits, showed up with signs with rather heavy sticks, and bashed the skinheads, some of whom looked very biker. Anarchists, on interview, said they’ll do it again whenever the Nazis show.
Sounds good to me.
12Two groups looking for trouble, and they found it. No fairy dust here.
13Y’know for us experienced patrons, talk of skinheads or the so-called “Traditional Workers Partay” providing “security”
14takes us through a blackhole back to 1969. Altamont. Calyfornya. Mick and the Stones enlisted Sonny Barger and the Oakland chapter of Hell’s Angels to provide “security” between the crowd and the stage. Yo Mick how’d THAT work out for ya??
@Micr says:#14- First thing I thought of, and I’d wager there were lots of firearms at both incidents, why they weren’t used is anybody’s guess.
15Yessirreebob! Cleveland in 3 weeks is gonna be fun!
