(10,823 posts)52. From Antifa Sacramento on Facebook - one of the anti-facist groups
Today in Sacramento, Anti-Fascist Action in conjunction with hundreds of fellow Anti-Fascists from near and far successfully shut down the Traditionalist Workers Party (TWP) attempt to hold a white supremacist rally on the capitol. Protestors took and held the west steps, preventing the fascists from being able to reach their rally destination.
TWP chairman Matthew Heimbach skipped out on the rally despite making previous plans to attend, opting instead to send his footmen out to do his dirty-work. Two lone bigots briefly made their way to an adjacent side, where one of them sieg heiled on the Capitol steps. Despite the circumstances, the fascist thugs celebrate their poorly coordinated and executed "mobilization of around 20 people as a victory, solely on the grounds that they injured more people than their opposition did.
Our victory did not come without consequence, and several have been hurt. So far we know of 6 comrades who have been injured to a degree that required hospitalization. Our next step is to provide support for those who sustained injuries during the shutdown, as well as legal support as needed. If you want to help the brave souls who put their well-being on the line today to keep neo-Nazis and white supremacists out of our streets, we ask that you make a donation to our support fund.

More on Heimbach and flyer to shut down rally - connected big time to Trump's racism

Trump does get some credit for empowering them - egging them on during his rallys

Thanks. My impression from various accounts is that most of the casualties were anti-fascists.

You won't find a link because the Kochs have a network that does for them.

You've posted since, but haven't answered my question: Why the quotes? They're Nazis.
