While I am filming a right wing activist charges out and assaults me, breaking my finger with an asp baton. Sergio has more footage of the confrontation that follows

The rest of my video is upside down but here is me coming face to face with the fellow who assaulted me.

The right wingers assault and damage private property, the BLM snack van. They are maced off.

The right wing charges. They spend a lot of time beating people who are lying on the ground.

Two opposing shield walls are now facing off.

Both sides shout at each other and throw things. Antifa seems to prefer eggs.

As I film the stand off I realize to my shock that two people are actually managing to have a relatively civil debate.

The antifascist shield wall advances. The right wingers throw a firework. They cheer. The antifascists regroup immediately.

A fight starts when the right wingers assault a group of unarmed and unmasked BIPOC activists.

A firework explodes in the middle of the right wing shield wall. Rattled, their morale breaks and they begin to flee the field. Initially they stay together, an attempt to retreat in good order.

They flee back to the IRS building for cover. But federal agents seem unwilling to provide it. Denied the protection of the cops, the right wing shieldwall breaks up entirely and flees in separate directions.

A local family tells us they cannot get back to their car because right wing activists have taken over the parking garage. We approach them and one rushes out waving a baton.

Back at Terry Schrunk Plaza, this has been declared an unlawful assembly. As I arrive, DHS advances. This man sits shirtless in the center of the park and is pushed shot in the leg with a pepperball and then shoved down.

Everything is just going super well down here at Terry Schrunk.

One of the women I believe to be an organizer of the 'Back the Blue' marches by with DHS escort. At the end, some truly exceptional bullhorn heckling.

The Federal troops are pushed out of the park and back towards the IRS building, their home, by the weight of the crowd.

Here we see the crowd, shields at the front, advancing and slowly backing the Feds into their building. I kind of expected them to start shooting this entire time.
