Flyering overhead at about 3 p.m., video from SkyRanger 7 showed a line of SDPD officers trying to disperse the demonstrators. Officers were struck with glass bottles, eggs and rocks, according to law enforcement.

Dozens of patrol cars are on the scene, and a officers in riot gear appear to have formed two lines near the intersection of on Mission Boulevard at the intersection of Hornblend Street to separate the two groups.

Both sides appear to have several hundred people and are now separated by several hundred feet, with the two lines of officers in between.

At 3:30 p.m., the situation had the appearance of a standoff, with the two sides rallying in place.

It appears that NYC can look forward to this tomorrow.....

1. Kettle them, order them to disperse and if they don't arrest them and throw them in jail.

[SunSeeker]

25. Why is it so hard for cops to do this to right wingers?

They have no problem kettling and arresting PoC or progressives.

[AZ8theist]

28. Do you really need an answer to that question??

[SunSeeker]

42. It's rhetorical. I know why of course.

Many of these cops --and their leadership-- are authoritatian racists who agree with white minority rule in the US. They totally simpathize with these protesters/insurrectionists. They don't fear them because they look at them as "one of us."

[AZ8theist]

45. I had no doubt you knew the answer to that question...

I only commented in case there was ANYONE in the DU world who didn't know.

The actions of several of the Capital police on the 6th was absolutely disgusting. Waving the mob in and taking selfies with traitors should result in prosecution and prison time for those cops. Particularly vile when one of their own was MURDERED by a fire extinguisher smashed on his skull.

I am so sick of this shit.

[SunSeeker]

46. And when cops' lives are actually in danger, like they were there, they DON'T shoot!

[2naSalit]

2. I lived about four blocks from there once upon a time.

[BigmanPigman]

6. I was surprised that so many conservatives live in PB.

They had several protests pressuring Newsom to stop lockdowns which led to an increase in Covid and it the Covid numbers have been increasing since. The business people also support them. PB has defied orders and is having parties, going to bars and gyms without masks, etc.

I know PB is drunken party central but I thought east county had the RWNJ, not the liberal beaches.

[2naSalit]

8. Nope...

SD has them all over the county. Most of my remaining family live there. They aren't RWers but they know plenty of them.

[NHvet]

16. The beach areas of SoCal are RWNJ havens

Head south outta LA...... Huntington Beach, Newport Beach Laguna, San Clemente, Oceanside, all the way down to SD is MAGA area.

[Rebl2]

19. Yep

Has been as long as I can remember

[Cha]

29. Nice place on Earth back then.. I lived

in La Jolla & Ocean Beach in the '70s.. on either side.

Sigh.

[2naSalit]

30. True.

That's when I was there, mostly. Last time I lived in the county I was in east county in the early and mid 80s. It was definitely time to leave for good. The 70s were fun at the beach. I lived at two places in PB and was in north park for a time, near Julio's, that awesome Mexican restaurant with the Mariachi band. The food was some of the best around.

[Cha]

33. Cool! We don't forget

our Mexican food restaurants!

I still remember Woody's Macayo in Phoenix for the best quesadillas in the '60s!

Btw.. if these idiots are for trump now they're Not "conservative".. they're Fascist Traitors to America.

[apnu]

3. Been watching the live feed for a bit.

Looks like less than 100 on each side, there may be as many cops as participants. The numbers appear to be dwindling, looks like everybody is going home.

[niyad]

4. "Flyering? "Of on intersection"?

Notice they are not saying which side is violent.

[moreland01]

5. PB

What's PB?

[BigmanPigman]

7. Pacific Beach, a local beach community.

PB is known for their drunken partying. During Covid they were maskholes and are responsible for reopening too early and an increase in Covid numbers since the summer. They are very self absorbed and immature.

OB is Ocean Beach and MB is Mission Beach and TJ is Tijuana.

[moreland01]

9. Thanks

All I could come up with was Peanut Butter. But that didn't make sense at all!

[BigmanPigman]

10. Everything around here has a 2 or 3 letter abbreviation

and it drives me crazy.

[Dem2theMax]

11. That is so true. No one speaks in complete words.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles County. When I finally moved to San Diego County I had to start learning all the abbreviations. I still have to stop and think when somebody says something like 'RB.'

[BigmanPigman]

12. Is that Redondo Beach!

[Arthur_Frain]

13. That's a bit up the coast I think.

Not as far as SLO.

[Dem2theMax]

18. Took me 45 minutes to figure out 'SLO!'

And I've spent some time there.

[Arthur_Frain]

23. Heh! Mission Accomplished.

It’s beautiful, my folks still live there.

[Dem2theMax]

24. I love it there.

I've often thought of wanting to move there.

[Dem2theMax]

14. Lol!

Rancho Bernardo.

[BigmanPigman]

15. See what I mean?

Same goes for all the social media lingo. I don't do twitter or facebook so it is like a foreign language to me. It takes too much time to try to figure out.

[Dem2theMax]

17. Exactly! That's why I laughed.

When using 'San Diego speak,' none of us knows what the other one is saying!

I'm grateful for one word cities. If somebody says Poway, I know what they're talking about!

I'm always scratching my head about the abbreviations online. I used to try to figure them out. Now I figure if somebody can't be bothered to write it out, it's not important.

[Beartracks]

21. IKR

LOL

==========

[Dem2theMax]

22. Stop that!

[2naSalit]

31. Ha! Back in the 70s it meant Rancho Bernardo.

[Cha]

35. I lived in OB in the '8os

for awhile.. best Heath Food Store Ever! People's Food!

[BigmanPigman]

36. They still have drum circles Fri nights

but they refused to socially distance during lockdown and they created a problem. I've been reading this since I discovered it about a year ago...

https://obrag.org/

[Cha]

37. Never knew of the drum

circles.. but I read they expanded a few years ago.

Not doing Social Distancing?! Wow.. not very health conscience. We do it at the Health store I go to now on Kauai.. & masks,, of course.

I read at that link that the woman who was shot going through the broken window in the Capitol was from Ocean Beach.

TY for the link, BP

[BigmanPigman]

39. I read in a different source

that the woman who was killed was known to her family as becoming somewhat tRump crazy and they didn't understand why she decided to go to DC. The video she made in her car ranting shows a very unstable person.

The people at the beaches became maskholes over the Summer.

[Cha]

40. That's too bad about

the maskholes.. the trump VIRUS is REAL.

[BigmanPigman]

41. I know, I know.

I am surprised and disappointed. Maybe when hippies get older they become more conservative.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

20. Looks like fake counter protesters: white and all dressed in the same all black

garb w/sunglassess & masks. You can see they were white by their hands and what little of their faces were showing, helmets & carrying a big professionally made antifacist sign & BLM signs. This was just too organized & uniform for a funky little beachtown in San Diego. Something phony about it. It looked like trump's people are trying to manufacture an "enemy" to pin stuff on.

I live in another funky little beach town in San Diego.

[2naSalit]

32. That's totally what they are up to.

I have several relatives there and only one is a rumper, they work for one of the LE agencies and was in the Navy for two tours prior. They trouble me a great me a great deal. The others are Dems and don't work for the government.

[JI7]

38. The types that infiltrate liberal protests and start breaking windows

and getting violent.

[MRDAWG]

26. Blue lives matter? Party of law enforcement?

?

[LudwigPastorius]

27. Rioting, violent TrumpNazis?

Bring in the Scoops.

[pfitz59]

34. I lived in Coronado for 6 years

Avoided OB and PB.

[SunSeeker]

43. Fuck these traitorous, violent insurrectionists.

They're domestic terrorists. Arrest them and stop them from terrorizing us with their fucking guns.

[usajumpedtheshark]

44. It might be better to back off on the counter protests given the current volatility

[Nitram]

47. What is "PB"?

[Initech]

48. Well, so much for their "back the blue" arguments.

[haele]

49. I noticed that the majority of police were facing off the Trumpers.

The "Antifa" group were held back with a loose semi-circle of about 30 officers in the intersection by the CVS (where a lot of locals were also just going about their business, so the local hooligans might be responsible for some thrown items) but the main group of police were in a modified line and phalanx arrangement facing the Trump and Gadsden flag wavers, who were a larger more organized group, from what the news copter was showing.
