"Fights that day led to multiple stabbings"

Funny - the shit press still won't report who stabbed who.

Is there press that does have those details?  The London fatberg is smarter than you are.

Given that Proud Boys are a neo-fascist group known to incite street violence, who do you think might have been responsible for the fighting?

Hey, if we combine the $2000 with killing Article 230 and investigating fraud, putting them in one bill, maybe that will kill the $2000 proposal!

There is currently a lookout for three suspects. Two are Black men wearing black clothing and the third is a Black female wearing black sweatpants with white stripes, orange leggings, and a dark gray coat.  Police say she is believed to be armed with a knife.

   The video shows a lone African American counter-protester, dressed all in black, as he is surrounded outside Harry’s Bar at 11th and F streets NW by a group of shouting white men.

Many in the crowd are wearing “America Strong” hats and the gold, laurel wreath insignia associated with the far-right, white nationalist Proud Boys.

At first, the surrounding group just taunts the black-clad counter-protester, telling him to leave.

He indeed begins to walk off, glaring at the taunting group over his shoulder.

“Get out! Get the f— outta here!” they shout at him. “Go that way!”

 But when he’s shoved from behind, the lone counter-protester pulls what appears to be a gravity knife from his right coat pocket.


Seems to address the question of who was inciting the violence.   The counterprotestor was trying to get away from a hostile and taunting group.   He only shows a weapon when he's attacked.   Thanks for making Bart's point.

Just a bunch of misunderstood milquetoasts the Proud Boys, Kid tells us. And Breitbart, a website he never goes to, confirms the true evil-doers to be "Antifa".

Bambi,  Josh is trying to make a point about censorship on any personal basis.   That approach,  in reality, would just draw attention to someone's capacity to handle offense rather than the more objective criteria of no evidence or flawed logic or slanders. 

LARRY is quiet lately.

I don't understand what you're saying.

In order to make it harder to relocate the US Embassy back to Tel Aviv, the Trumpies sold off the US Ambassador's residence.  Got a nice price of $67M.  The buyer?  Bibi's main backer and Trump mega-donor Shelden Alderson.  So the Trumpies hid the transaction for half a year.

Love the text versus the headline and the URL:

"leaving a female cop injured and at least four people stabbed"

URL: one person stabbed
Headline: Proud Boys surround man with knife at violent DC Trump rally

Wonder who injured the cop. Wonder who else got stabbed, by whom. Shit media misleading the public, right, Kid?!
So... if they had left him alone, he would have walked away.

And somebody got stabbed, but the video doesn't show who did it or what the person did before getting stabbed.

He indeed begins to walk off, glaring at the taunting group over his shoulder.

“Get out! Get the f— outta here!” they shout at him. “Go that way!”

 But when he’s shoved from behind, the lone counter-protester pulls what appears to be a gravity knife from his right coat pocket.

He flicks it open and holds it down at his side as he continues trying to walk off — and the group surrounding him bursts into screams and shouts, some among them moving still closer to him.

“He’s got a knife!” they shout. Others in the crowd shout, “Get back! Get back!”

Women can be heard shrieking. One woman is seen in the video grabbing and pulling at the counter-protester’s balaclava-style ski hat, which covers most of his head and face.

The counter-protester appears to be swinging his knife and running away as some in the crowd then give chase and tackle him.

“Get his ass!” someone in the crowd yells.

“Stop guys stop — please stop” police can then be heard shouting as they break up the scrum, into which the knife-wielding counter-protester has disappeared.

The clip ends with the crowd clearing the way for multiple D.C. police officers who have rushed quickly to the scene, breaking up the scrum and taking control of the now cowering counter-protester, who has curled up into a ball on the sidewalk.

It was announced in September. And for sale in the summer.
