42. Trump supporters "left" the march by going to BLM Square.
Sun Nov 15, 2020, 12:26 PM
Nov 2020

Some people had heated exchanges and scuffled (two children were in the mix). After which BLM Square and all of DC was marched upon by Proud Boys who live out of town and were the main instigators in Portland (same leaders, same people, you can see all of them from the same pictures).

They started it with a very orchestrated photo-op sending people into BLM Square, instigating, calling names, trash talking. They plan this shit out before hand as we have seen time and time again in their pre-protest pep talks. They do it very carefully and with purpose. Start shit with the people on the left, when the people on the left don't want to take any more of their shit, call them antifa/anarchists/fascists/terrorists, whatever.

Meanwhile the police side with them generally because they're all a bunch of right wing thugs.

To answer your question, nothing particularly happened that hasn't been happening all across the country by right wing thugs.

There will be another OK City. Mark my words.
