Said Former Senator Marty Golden, at the rally:
"Some of them [BLM supporters] are coming up here... we gotta be prepared. We wanna make sure none of us get hurt... lets hope we can break up peacefully, but be prepared in case we cant."
Notice how he said "none of *us*".

This is the same former elected that hyped up fears about #BlackLivesMatter protests in June, and personally assisted a local bar in boarding up it's windows.
Local protests were entirely peaceful, and without a single incident.

In contrast, peaceful counter-demonstrators at this rally were attacked. Martin's own rhetoric is implicitly gives the go-ahead for violence.
This rally was organized by a political party, the NYS Conservative Party. They chose the date, the time, and the length: 3-11.

The current chair of the Conservative Party acts as one of Malliotakis's primary campaign staffers. Golden himself impersonated a cop after retiring, and has fought to keep his own disciplinary record secret.
This isn't about "Backing the Blue".
It's about riling up white supremacists in an election year.
Luckily, #BayRidge has been moving left for years now. These are the death rattles of a former right-wing stronghold.

Here's the asshole hoping a female protestor gets raped (among other graphic threats)
Oh and another tidbit: the bussed people in from Staten Island. Because of course they did.
Interesting though... that they felt they needed to do that, even in Dyker Heights.

More utterly horrible bullshit. Content warnings aplenty here.
Here's the fellow journalist who was documenting the protest getting assaulted by Blue Lives Matter attendees.
Our other good friend had to go to the hospital due after being assaulted.
We have literally zero reports of any counter-protesters acting violently. This was racist, one-sided, and goaded on by politicians in attendance.

@JustinBrannan, who was jeered by right-wing politicians for not attending this shitshow of an event, has released a statement.
And a statement from @FrontusforNY
And of course, now one of those racist shitheads has a supercut.
