HD Video: Earlier today at the #MillionMAGAMarch, violence broke out when members of @RefuseFascism tried to counter-protest and were physically pushed away.
Here's what some of the beginning of that confrontation looked like. I have a fully uncut (18 minutes long) video of the entire situation uploading now.
Mike Dunn @realmikedunn is a "Boogaloo Boy" who actually fought *against* the Proud Boys during that fight.

Mike says "I can't stand commies" but he felt he had to protect their right to speak.

He adds that the Proud Boys "hit like a bunch of wooses."
Here is the full, uncut version of the violence that took place in the morning. This is available for license of course. Much more video on the way.

At the Supreme Court, Trump supporters were counter-protested by antifa activists who held a banner reading "Punch MAGA in the face."

VIDEO THREAD: Earlier tonight, about 8:15pm or so, I arrived toward the tail-end of a fight between the Proud Boys and their opponents. Mace was in the air when I arrived.

One person appeared knocked out, taking about a minute to get up. Unclear which side.
"All commies are bastards!" chanted the Proud Boys.

Another fight broke out, but the person sparring with a Proud Boy ran away.

As some began chasing the man, another tried to stop them yelling, "No! It's a bad look!"

The fight didn't continue after a block-long chase.
As Proud Boys and Trump supporters marched on, antifascists did stand in their path, but police swiftly moved between the two sides, rendering violence between them basically impossible.

Proud Boys diverted and marched away chanting "fuck antifa!"

VIDEO THREAD: Trump supporters tore down the "Black Lives Matter" wooden signs posted on a building tonight at the intersection of I and 16th Street, just north of the White House.
When police realized Trump supporters were tearing the wooden signs from a building, they did step in and escorted one person away from the building, but did not make any arrests.
Riot officers soon came in to police the MAGA protest and formed a line, but they parted to make an opening for the enormous (it took a couple dozen people to carry it) "TRUMP: LAW AND ORDER" flag to get through.

THREAD: When the #MillionMAGAMarch reached the Supreme Court this afternoon, antifascist activists were already there to confront them with shields and a banner that read "PUNCH MAGA IN THE FACE."

"Fuck antifa!" chanted the Trump supporters.
While no violence had occurred, riot police moved in between the two sides, facing toward the antifa side.

"Back the blue!" chanted the Trump side. "Trump! Trump! Trump!"

"Antifa f****ts! Fucking homos!" yelled one Trump supporter.
I got around to the antifa side of the fence to film there, and some of the left retreated a bit.

Police took advantage of the retreat to push forward and create a wider gap between the two sides.

VIDEO THREAD: Today thousands of Trump supporters including Proud Boys gathered in Washington DC to advocate that President Trump not concede the election.

"Fuck antifa!" was a common chant along with "Stop the steal!"
Here's footage from the walk as thousands marched from Freedom Plaza to the Supreme Court.
"Joe Biden is a communist Chinese agent and a compromised pedophile with the rest of his satanic family," yelled Alex Jones as he marched with Proud Boys protection.

"Joe Biden's going to prison, he's not going to the White House," he said.

"Arrest Joe Biden!" chanted the crowd
