Anti-Fascists ‘Very Proud’ of White Nationalist Counter-Protest That Led to Multiple Stabbing Victims
27th June 2016
At least five people were stabbed in a statehouse skirmish between members of the white-nationalist Traditionalist Workers Party (TWP) and “anti-fascist” activists from a group called By Any Means Necessary (BAMN). The white-power group had gotten a permit and was demonstrating in front of the California capitol. BAMN members came brandishing wooden bats and shouting “fuck fascists. Beat the fascists. Beat them.” One member Yvette Felarca told CNN she was “very, very proud” of the counter-protest that had produced such violence.
“We’ve got to build a movement in this nation,” said Felarca, noting that her group was full of people of many races and sexual orientations “standing together saying we will not accept or allow racist, genocide organizing to take place on the front steps of the capitol of California. And we would do it again.”
Well. There it is.
I say we give them a plethora of non-projectile weapons and let them go at it. Survivors get ‘bragging rights’.
Think of it as evolution in action.
