I am here at the unholy hour of 11:51, nine minutes early for the right wing Back The Blue Save The Children Trump 2020 whatever rally.
So far it is just yelling.
So far it is just yelling.
Two folks open carrying AR-15s. About 50 people in attendance total, by my count. Just a tremendous number of flags.
Notice the fellow on the right, carrying a baseball bat and OC spray instead of a rifle. 
A pro BLM bicycle protest arrives in the middle of Blue Lives Matter speeches, which I cannot hear.
A line of several dozen bikers and truck owners, waving Trump and back the blue flags, drives down the road next.
We just had a big dumb street fight. It appears to have started when someone on a wheelchair pulled up in front of a biker. This video has a chud with a paintball gun shouting 'move' like a cop and threatening me with his stupid weapon for no reason. I don't listen.
Here we see the start of it.
Here we see a dude who thinks his paintball gun makes him a cop. I do not think that he is.
People start whipping out tasers and other weapons. A general melee ensues. Paintball guy immediately runs behind the shields of his allies because he is a big ol wuss who just wanted to shout at unarmed people while holding a toy gun.
And here the situation stands. Antifascist reinforcements have arrived. Both lines of humans have stopped fighting for the moment. Now everyone is just shouting while the police LRAD distantly tells everyone to please stay nice.
Demetria is here! She leads the antifascist crowd in chants of "Whose lives matter? Black lives matter."
Raeona Coleman has arrived. She is framing herself as a mediator. The reality is that she is a right wing activist as you can see from videos like this () She is trusting that the optics of her standing there will be all big media folks see.
Here is Reona bullhorning folks.
Here is the antifascist side of things from behind.
And here is a video from the right wing side of the line.
It takes me a minute to figure out what they are saying here. "Hey hey, ho ho, these violent rioters have got to go."
Here we see the right wing dressing its line.
Love 2 see punisher patches on guys standing up to defend the police.
Here is a Trump shield and a Qanon shield.
The Healthy Discourse has arrived. Finally, Americans with differing beliefs are having A Conversation.
The right wing shieldwall confronts a man in a wheelchair. As I film it they try to advance into where I am standing. Noted fascist Alan Swinney yells at me to move. I do not move. He threatens me with mace and then eventually leaves because mace don't scare me.
Demetria and Drum Bloc keep a steady beat going as the standoff continues.
Flag wisdom for us all on this blessed day.
Another fight. It starts with folks on the right wing side throwing things (a jug of apparent OJ right before i started filming, and then whatever they throw at the start of this video.
A violent right wing crowd beats and maces an unarmed man, hitting him with sticks and hanging up at leasy 4 to 1.
A right wing activist throws smoke. Someone on the left throws it back.
Tiny Toese is here, in violation of the conditions of his pretrial release. It is definitely him. He answers to his name when called.
While I am filming a right wing activist charges out and assaults me, breaking my finger with an asp baton. Sergio has more footage of the confrontation that follows
The rest of my video is upside down but here is me coming face to face with the fellow who assaulted me.
The right wing charges. They spend a lot of time beating people who are lying on the ground.
The right wingers assault and damage private property, the BLM snack van. They are maced off.
Two opposing shield walls are now facing off.
Both sides shout at each other and throw things. Antifa seems to prefer eggs.
As I film the stand off I realize to my shock that two people are actually managing to have a relatively civil debate.
The antifascist shield wall advances. The right wingers throw a firework. They cheer. The antifascists regroup immediately.
A fight starts when the right wingers assault a group of unarmed and unmasked BIPOC activists.
A firework explodes in the middle of the right wing shield wall. Rattled, their morale breaks and they begin to flee the field. Initially they stay together, an attempt to retreat in good order.
They flee back to the IRS building for cover. But federal agents seem unwilling to provide it. Denied the protection of the cops, the right wing shieldwall breaks up entirely and flees in separate directions.
A local family tells us they cannot get back to their car because right wing activists have taken over the parking garage. We approach them and one rushes out waving a baton.
Back at Terry Schrunk Plaza, this has been declared an unlawful assembly. As I arrive, DHS advances. This man sits shirtless in the center of the park and is pushed shot in the leg with a pepperball and then shoved down.
Everything is just going super well down here at Terry Schrunk.
One of the women I believe to be an organizer of the 'Back the Blue' marches by with DHS escort. At the end, some truly exceptional bullhorn heckling.
The Federal troops are pushed out of the park and back towards the IRS building, their home, by the weight of the crowd.
Here we see the crowd, shields at the front, advancing and slowly backing the Feds into their building. I kind of expected them to start shooting this entire time.
