Neo-Nazis and Anti-Fascist Protesters Clash in Sacramento; Multiple Injuries Reported

US News • Views: 53,182

In California, confrontations between neo-Nazi groups and anti-fascist protesters have been getting increasingly violent lately, and today in Sacramento at a rally organized by the “Traditionalist Worker Party” multiple people were stabbed and beaten.

The Traditionalist Working Party — which supposedly has ties to white supremacy groups — held a permitted rally at the Capitol Sunday afternoon. The group was met by counter protestors. According to the Sacramento Police Department, multiple people were injured and an unconfirmed number were stabbed.

The Sacramento Police Department is advising motorists to take alternative routes if traveling near the capitol this afternoon.

Sacramento PD said L Street between 10th and 15th Streets and 10th Street between N and L Streets are closed for traffic control during Capitol protest.

White supremacist Matthew Heimbach tweeted this photo earlier of some of the Nazi knuckle-draggers getting ready for their rally.

Here’s video of the clashes; warning: it’s violent and disturbing.

Violence isn’t okay on either side. Period.

I understand the feelings about what’s at stake - I’m pretty anti-Nazi, personally - but that doesn’t make violence okay.

The Traditionalist Worker Party has a very slick website. There’s obviously money coming from somewhere to support these Nazi fucks.

Here’s a Google search page with a link - I don’t want to post a direct link to these creeps.

I suspect the Nazi’s initiated the physical violence. The anti-nazi members might be attacking them vociferously but it would likely be verbal. Nazi’s, at least the common riff-raff, are likely to be predisposed to violent behaviour. They do soak themselves in hate.

Of course, given my recent record, I may be pulling a Bill Kristol.

I’m not going to make any assumptions here, especially given that I’m aware of my biases. It doesn’t really change the overall point, which is that violence isn’t acceptable, period. Regardless of which side started it.

Problem is violence comes when reason goes out the window. Reason is in short supply this year.

This may just be an indication of what is coming at the conventions with national audiences helping drive the desire for a show of violence.

At least seven people were injured - several of whom were stabbed - Sunday when friction between neo-Nazi and counter demonstrators in Sacramento turned violent.

Seven patients were transported to area hospitals, “some with critical trauma stab wounds,” the Sacramento Fire Department said.

The injuries were the result of what the fire department described as a “mass casualty event.”

“It was quite a bit of a melee,” SFD public information officer Chris Harvey told The LA Times.

No arrests had been made as of Sunday afternoon, but the original, permitted neo-Nazi rally was officially cancelled, ABC10 reported. That rally was to include factions from the Traditionalist Workers Party, Golden State Skinheads, Blood & Honor, National Socialist Movement and Ku Klux Klan, CBS reported.

The neo-Nazi group had planned a demonstration for several weeks, The LA Times reported, and counter protesters were evidently well organized and prepared for the event. Many carried signs or banners with slogans such as “Many colors one working class! Smash patriarchy and racism.” Several protesters had their faces covered with black cloth.

The clashes occurred near the State Capitol.

Video shot by an ABC10 reporter of several fights showed the two groups bashing each other with sticks and throwing objects in a violent, chaotic fracas. Blood stains were visible on the ground and several of those involved were bleeding following the fights, including two neo-Nazis visibly bleeding from their heads.

Police officers witnessed a Klan member stab someone with a knife, an officer told CBS. A counter protester was also found stabbed inside a vehicle, CBS reported.

So even if a bill to formally start EU withdrawal proceedings passes Parliament (which looks more doubtful today than yesterday) the Lords can, and probably will, veto it.

Nowadays, Parliament can bypass the Lords’ veto by sending it directly for the Queen’s signature, which has always been just a rubber stamp—but a bill to literally destroy the United Kingdom? Will she sign it? Will they ultimately decide that in the 21st Century they really don’t need the Queen’s signature? Probably—but then that’s the end of the Monarchy. This is going to be quite a show….

He obviously has rebuked the President’s desire to chill out. I guess that goes to show how he has felt about Obama the whole time.

He is going to get heat at the convention big time. His supporters are not going to like it, but it is coming.

He has no respect at all for the coalition of voters that make up the Democratic Party at all. None. He just whines about how white working class voters no longer support the Democratic Party and never questions that those voters have bigoted reasons for not wanting to be part of a party that has African-Americans, women, GLBT, Hispanics, and others in positions of power and influence.

There is a really interesting question of when political rhetoric becomes fighting words, incitement, or other unprotected speech. As a general rule, I believe Nazis have a right to free speech that includes their intolerant views, I also believe the rest of us have a right to free speech that includes the ability to mock them relentlessly.

As far as I can tell at this point—and I just came online about an hour ago, so I’m still catching up—it’s not at all clear how the violence got started or who started it. It’s entirely possible that there were separate skirmishes initiated by different sides.

I agree that violence isn’t acceptable, but self-defense most certainly is. There’s no law I know of in any state of the Union that requires someone who’s being attacked to just stand there and passively take a beat-down. Again, I’m talking about self-defense, not retaliation, which would be as unlawful as the initial assault.

(Lawyers feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.)

I mean the two nations do have some differences but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a good relationship. So many people in both countries have ties to the other especially in the Scottish cities.

I don’t have anything against Rosario Dawson even if she is a Berniebot but when was it decided that she was a profound political voice? I mean people like Clooney I get since George did a ton to raise awareness of the Sudanese genocide and things like that. Definitely weird.

Rubio faces Trump-like challenger in primary

Only one person stands in the way of Marco Rubio emerging from August’s Senate primary victorious—and on paper, he looks a lot like Donald Trump.

Millionaire Carlos Beruff has endorsed Trump, he’s espoused some of the same controversial beliefs, they both have allies in Florida Gov. Rick Scott, and hasn’t been afraid to pour their millions into their bids.

[…]

He doubled down on Trump’s Muslim immigration ban by calling to include “anybody from the Middle East” except Israel, long before Trump made a similar call. And received flack for referring to President Obama as an “animal.”

Beruff has relied on deep ties to Florida Gov. Rick Scott to help boost his campaign. The similarities are clear—Scott mounted his own out-of-nowhere bid for the governor’s mansion in 2010 running his own outsider, largely self-funded, bid.

[…]

Scott sure knows how to pick friends….

Kinda confusing—he has “support Bakari Sellers” in his bio and Bakari is a Hillary supporter so who the fuck knows. The pic is a stock photo and I can’t really figure out much about him from his tweets.

I can tell you, some of the Bernie Bros around here are nutso anti-Hillary—and these aren’t randoms; they’re actively involved in the Dem party and run their mouths non-stop. But then, remember, it’s South by dog Carolina—too small for a republic; too large for an insane asylum.

A lot of those twitter accounts are white supremacist, MRA, gamergate, etc. trolls pretending to be Bernie or Hillary supporters.

re: #74 CuriousLurker

As far as I can tell at this point—and I just came online about an hour ago, so I’m still catching up—it’s not at all clear how the violence got started or who started it. It’s entirely possible that there were separate skirmishes initiated by different sides.

I agree that violence isn’t acceptable, but self-defense most certainly is. There’s no law I know of in any state of the Union that requires someone who’s being attacked to just stand there and passively take a beat-down. Again, I’m talking about self-defense, not retaliation, which would be as illegal as the initial assault.

(Lawyers feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.)

According to the woman being interviewed on CNN. The anti-fascist group went there to stop the Nazis. In her words…by any means necessary. Described her group as militant.

That doesn’t mean some Nazi might not have struck first.

Another note to Bernie but Clinton campaigned for you when you first ran for Senate. Maybe you forgot that because you’ve had so many admirers tell you that you’re the best thing ever but you had a lot of help from that Democratic establishment you love to bitch about to get to where you are.

The Clintons also campaigned for one of Bernie’s nastiest surrogates—Nina Turner (and the Berners love them some Nina.)

From the protest:

The Traditionalist Worker Party, a white nationalist group, was holding a march Sunday “to protest against globalization and in defense of the right to free expression,” according to the group’s website. The members appeared to be vastly outnumbered by counter-protesters, who held up signs that read “Nazi scum,” according to photos and videos posted on social media.

An organizer of the rally who wasn’t at the Capitol, said on a web live stream that one person from his group had been stabbed and was being transported to the hospital.

They got one of us but we got six of them,” he said.

This. I avoid math like the plague, so I only use the mathematical functions when they absolutely can’t be avoided, but I did see this, which confirms what you’re saying (assuming he’s using the floor() function):

Return Values
value rounded to the next lowest integer. The return value of floor() is still of type float because the value range of float is usually bigger than that of integer. This function returns FALSE in case of an error (e.g. passing an array).

php.net

There’s also round(), which exists specifically to round a float.

Correction: float() should have been floor(). There is no float() function.

Yeah, I used the function without fully reading the documentation. (Hey, who actually reads the manual?)

When an if statement, which was checking for === against an integer, was giving a weird result after I used floor(), I var_dump the input and noticed that it was a float and not an integer.

The UK, which already had a unique deal with the EU, is now in the position of trying to back out of their backing out of the EU. Because Cameron basically told UKIP, Johnson and the other toadies who thought it was a brilliant idea to leave the EU, that they’re going to be the ones who have to trigger Article 50 and actually follow through on what they wanted.

If they fail to follow through, their careers are toast.
If they follow through, their nation is toast.

Hard to see which way this will go. Especially since the UKIP has already shown itself fiscally irresponsible and flat out lied about the consequences.

The polls are fake. Will someone please unskew Trump’s polls for him. He thinks that he deserves to be president based on polls that all show him behind by significant number.

In most cases, he’s double digits behind nationally.

That’s all good, but that’s not how the EC votes - it’s state by state, and we’re still way early to get serious about polls. The media needs ‘em close for a horse race. They need that narrative.

But they might also be okay with a blowout, particularly if we get historic type blowout pollings. Need that to happen after the RNC nomination.

Donald Trump is throwing a Twitter fit, and claiming that the polls are biased against him after a new poll showed him getting smoked by Hillary Clinton.

This is why I still think he might try to avoid being the nominee.

Above everything else, Trump hates to been seen as a loser. Trailing Clinton by over 10 points for the next 4 months is going to be his own personal hell, and he will be desperate to find some way out of being the GOP nominee.

In fact, I have more respect for people like yourself than people like Stein who hold things against you if you weren’t always right. People are allowed to grow and what makes Stein’s attack on Clinton even more shitty is that Gavin Newsome no less has said that HRC stood by him and offered him support when he started signing gay marriage applications in SF that year.

But he is the best person to lead the party.

He’s a socialist who is fighting to regain the working class by trying to address their issues, as opposed to running to the right. He also has the massive backing of the party members.

The MPs who have resigned have, as other labour MPs have said, tried to stage a coup.
They are all Blair loyalists. They’re the ones who lost the working class in the first place. Thinking that putting another Blairite will win back their base is madness.

As has been pointed out by Corbyn loyalists, the Labour turnout for the referendum, who voted remain, was much higher than Conservative turn out. And all the MPs who are saying that Corbyn didn’t campaign hard enough are in areas with a massive Leave vote.

Diane Abbot said, earlier, words to the effect of “If they had some magic button to bring out the labour voters, why didn’t they press it and win in their own areas?”

re: #212 Belafon

I do, too. My parents always taught me “If you work, you’re working class. Doesn’t matter if you’re a bank manger or a road sweeper - the issues you face are the same.”

So, as the grandson of a West Indian migrant and an English woman, the way that Working Class became White is miserable to me. But, I like to see that as a result of the Thatcher years.

The destruction of the unions, and the manufacturing base, laid waste to traditional (white) areas. The following “Get on your bike” rhetoric set up the newly unemployed as moochers, and moved the battleground to the middle class.

The Labour party were either to be painted as “The party that supports moochers” or join the fight for the middle class.

And so the working class were left behind, and then the white part was sucked up by the far right. Rinse and repeat across Europe.

The Left, seeing the social injustice of racism, took up that banner - which then played into the “They care more about THEM than about you” and now we’re here.

Stabbings In Sacramento as Neo-Nazis, ‘Anti-Fascists’ Clash at Capitol

Of course, they claim that the white nationalists are leftists - even though the Traditional Workers’ Party specifically states that they are far-right.

Although the fringe Traditionalist Workers Party group claims to be against leftism, its political agenda shares many similarities with the far left, including its avowed support for socialism and its hostility to Israel and “Zionists.”

What’s worse is that the comments for the article are openly supportive of the violent Neo-Nazis, including spamming of white nationalist videos in the thread.

Hitler was fighting against the powers that the people behind the Ferguson riots and “Black Lives Matter” mobs represent — He was trying to save us all from the Leftist “protestors” (destroyers), cultural Marxists, and communists. In the 1930’s, he looked to the east and saw what the Jewish communists were doing in Russia and Ukraine (they were murdering millions of white people), and decided that they would not do the same to Germany. If Hitler had won, we would not be having much of the social problems that we are seeing play out today, for the simple fact that the communists would have been shut down for a thousand years. But now, they are in every classroom and newsroom in America and Europe. It is time to choose your side.

Of course, they claim that the white nationalists are leftists - even though the Traditional Workers’ Party specifically states that they are far-right.

What’s worse is that the comments for the article are openly supportive of the violent Neo-Nazis, including spamming of white nationalist videos in the thread.

I love how they blame Obama for why they decided to root for the white supremacists. Yep always Obama’s fault. Look at what you did Obama, you made me like peopel wh like Hitler!

re: #232 A Cranky One

Thanks, I’ll pass that along. When we bought the house the back yard was mostly dead grass, so a lot of work when into what you see today. It’s quite pleasant to get up in the morning, have some coffee and see that view out of the kitchen windows.

That is utterly gorgeous. What does Mrs. Cranky do during the winter? Pore over seed catalogs?

Makes him a lot like Trump in that regard. I don’t understand how this man got elected mayor of such a large city as London.

The wealthy Londoners didn’t like his left wing opponent. I’ve never understood how he won over Ken Livingstone - but has to be the right wingers always voting for party not person.

He’s also a charming buffoon. He appeared on TV and got mocked, lots, and laughed it off. He fits this “Harmless public school boy” trope all Brits have.

Even when he’s embarrassing, we liked him. Even now, it’s only a section of the public who can see that he only ran the Leave campaign so he could take Cameron’s job.

He would be terrifying as Leader of the Conservative party because he is absolutely a Right Winger, but the public/press would fawn over it.

Thanks for your insights. I imagine he got a lot of “He may be a bastard but I am glad he’s ours” when he told Romney off about the Olympics.

Politico - Sanders national press secretary leaving campaign

By DANIEL STRAUSS 06/26/16 09:10 PM EDT

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ national press secretary has decided to leave the campaign, she confirmed on Sunday night.

Symone D. Sanders (no relation to the senator) said she was departing the campaign amicably.

“I believe my time at the campaign has come to an end,” she told POLITICO. “I’m very proud of the work we have done and am now looking forward to helping elect down-ballot Democrats and do all I can to ensure a Democrat is the 45th president of the United States.”

Symone Sanders said she gave notice last week.

“The senator, Jeff and I are all in a good place,” she said, referring to campaign manager Jeff Weaver.

Sanders also said she did not have a specific job lined up yet.

“But there is so much work to be done and too much at stake in November for me to sit on the sidelines, she said.

The move is another sign that Sanders’ campaign is winding down. Symone Sanders had been with the senator’s campaign since August 2015. She was previously with the Washington, D.C.-based Coalition for Juvenile Justice.

It’s funny when the proles aren’t on board with the party line (lies). “Liberal Fascism” LOL
You see this also when they claim Republicans freed the slaves and Democrats are the real racists! The comments will have people calling Lincoln a tyrant and the confederacy the victims. Goobers can’t even agree on the same bullshit. Sad.

Thanks! Actually, in the winter she quilts.

I’m convinced that she has a spreadsheet with all the plants, their colors and blooming schedule since there is always something blooming and always in complimentary colors. She denies it, but the garden suggests otherwise. ;-)

That always amuses me too. They insist the CSA was liberal because so many of the CSA leaders were Democrats but a lot also hate Lincoln too. As you said, they can’t even agree on the same bs. My favorite though is when they suggest that black Americans are too stupid to know that the Democratic Party was that party.
