Yesterday: MAGAs, Proud Boys, Threepers, Q anons gathered at the Beverly Hills sign. I marched with and documented the counter-protest done by Black Bloc orgs.
So much to unpack in this photo, I decided to create its own thread.
Here’s David Dempsey, one of the people who bear maced and hit me with a bat repeatedly in the head. He also bear maced children in Santa Monica about a year ago.The Dempsey brothers are basically the McPoyle twins but real life right wing terrorists.
Police call Unlawful Assembly on Black Bloc crowd for a single fight(not sure who started it but the guy that was in it assaulted a reporter several months ago).
Meanwhile, not a single mask in sight, despite emergency orders banning maskless gatherings.
A thought- the unlawful assembly order could easily have been avoided had the BHPD in good faith allowed counter protestors to enter their own designated space.
Protestors attempted to create their own space after they were blocked from entering the originally designated one.
