A group of white nationalists and skinheads who held a rally in Sacramento, California, over the weekend where at least five people were stabbed plans to show up at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next month to “make sure that the Donald Trump supporters are defended.”

The violent clash at the California state Capitol accentuates concerns about the RNC, with political tensions high and thousands of pro- and anti-Trump protesters expected to descend on Cleveland.

“I think everybody is concerned about the potential for violence at the convention,” said Ryan Lenz, senior writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremists and hate groups.

Sunday’s mayhem in Sacramento began as the white nationalist group Traditionalist Worker Party, along with the Golden State Skinheads, were setting up for a state Capitol rally. The e groups characterised the rally as a response to aggression against supporters of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Trump.

This GOP convention is going to be better than watching Jerry Springer.

1. Those defenders should be made to understand that they also need to defend

Trump's right to be nominated. There are people (Republican people) working day and night to find a way to prevent a Trump nomination. Any self-respecting skinhead should be in that hall making sure that Trump receives the nomination that he deserves.

And, the public has a right to see what they are getting from the GOP this year.

8. They just wants the morans to getz sum brainses!!!1111

9. Turn your back to Cleveland. Work to get out the vote.

Let the Republicans reveal themselves, with no one to blame - no one to share the shame - but themselves.

Time and energy far better invested in building an vast, honest Democratic voter majority for November, so that basic human decency and common sense may prevail.

10. Like when the Hell's Angels provided security for the Rolling Stones

What could possibly go wrong?

11. I wish liberal protesters would stay away from this one.

Stay safely out of it--they'll do enough harm to themselves.

[etherealtruth]

12. My hope, as well

These people are true degenerates ... protesting these fools there can lead to nothing good

[Cosmocat]

16. It is and isn't "liberals"

I know a LOT of people who have ethnic backgrounds, are not US born, have a wife or husband who an immigrant, etc. who would rip Trump's eyes out if they had a chance.

Not saying I condone it, but I get the anger folks have with him, and the need to get into the mix.

13. I read a number of snarky comments on this thread about "watching the show" in Cleveland.

Well, let me tell you as a lifelong resident of a Cleveland suburb - Our city is not a playground for your entertainment. Violence will not be tolerated. The Tamir Rice demonstrations were respectfully carried on in our city without violence and destruction. We just had 1.3 million people downtown for the Cavalier's NBA Championship parade without violence and destruction. We will NOT permit outsiders to come and destroy our city. So, spare us Clevelanders your snarky comments. This is our community and NOT your playground.

[MindPilot]

15. I'm generally a non-violent person.

But a skinhead with blood running down his face is a sight that just warms my heart.

I hope the hospitals in Cleveland bring in all the POC on their staff. Every one of those racist pieces of shit should be treated by an African doctor.
