All Hell Is Breaking Loose At A Neo-Nazi Rally In California (VIDEOS/PICS)
Chaos is erupting at a rally for the neo-Nazi “Traditionalist Worker’s Party,” where counter-protesters clashed with fascists in Sacramento. Five have been reportedly stabbed and ABC 10‘s Frances Wang reports that riot police were forced to intervene with batons and pepper-spray to break up the fights. No arrests have been made as of yet.
The footage is quite disturbing to behold. Tensions in the United States are clearly reaching a breaking point as the nativist racism enflamed by Donald Trump’s ethnonationalist rhetoric clashes against the supporters of the cosmopolitan pluralism that our nation was founded on. It is shocking to see our nation descend into this kind of brutish violence, instigated by people espousing the some of the most reprehensible political ideas the twisted minds of humankind have concocted.
