.....for police repression. I'm starting to think more and more that we have to utilize the same tactics that's been used on us. All these wingnuts understand is violence so maybe we should be more forceful in our opinions. Like this guy was/is.

running around causing violence. Smashing things, burning things, hitting people, throwing things.

False flag?

Pre-paid trumpsters?

Volunteers?

It looked like an organized effort from the footage I saw.

I suppose they could have been from a variety of groups that got together. I am sure some of them were arrested.

I figured the masks would be a sign that they weren't normal protesters. But that doesn't stop the media from claiming there were riots here when there were clearly just a handful of masked assholes doing a well-planned organized window smashing.

Then right wing news comes out and claims these companies actually donated money to Hillary, not Trump. Which is true.

Should be punched repeatedly. He's a racist asshole who's incited violence against innocent people across the nation. I for one, don't care if it bothers my non-violent or "more sensible" brothers and sisters. Sometimes the best treatment for dealing with a real turd like this guy, is a good punch to the face. Nicely done!

It looked like something I saw in chinese martial arts in my younger days.

A white crane or other birdlike animal wing attack.using the arm to deliver an elbow to the jaw.

It looked expertly administered.

Except that with a flying blitz, a straight right hand (or straight left) is usually preceded by a backhand with the other fist.

However, the attacking guy was not a trained martial artist because the guy who was punched didn't even go down. If the attacker had been properly trained, the other guy wouldn't woken up until some minutes later, if at all, depending on where he was hit. That attack is devastating when performed correctly.

It also highly unlikely that a martial artist would attack in such a cowardly manner.

The best part is he got him mid "Pepe"

"This my Pep...." Bam!

Anti Defamation League on anti-Semitic racist "Pepe"


http://www.adl.org/combating-hate/hate-on-display/c/pepe-the-frog.html

Pepe the Frog is a cartoon character that has become a popular Internet meme (often referred to as the "sad frog meme" by people unfamiliar with the name of the character). The character first appeared in 2005 in the on-line cartoon Boy's Club. In that appearance, the character also first used its catchphrase, "feels good, man."

The Pepe the Frog character did not originally have racist or anti-Semitic connotations. Internet users appropriated the character and turned him into a meme, placing the frog in a variety of circumstances and saying many different things. Many variations of the meme became rather esoteric, resulting in the phenomenon of so-called "rare Pepes."

The majority of uses of Pepe the Frog have been, and continue to be, non-bigoted. However, it was inevitable that, as the meme proliferated in on-line venues such as 4chan, 8chan, and Reddit, which have many users who delight in creating racist memes and imagery, a subset of Pepe memes would come into existence that centered on racist, anti-Semitic or other bigoted themes.

In recent years, with the growth of the "alt right" segment of the white supremacist movement, a segment that draws some of its support from some of the above-mentioned Internet sites, the number of "alt right" Pepe memes has grown, a tendency exacerbated by the controversial and contentious 2016 presidential election. Though Pepe memes have many defenders, the use of racist and bigoted versions of Pepe memes seems to be increasing, not decreasing.

However, because so many Pepe the Frog memes are not bigoted in nature, it is important to examine use of the meme only in context. The mere fact of posting a Pepe meme does not mean that someone is racist or white supremacist. However, if the meme itself is racist or anti-Semitic in nature, or if it appears in a context containing bigoted or offensive language or symbols, then it may have been used for hateful purposes.

In the fall of 2016, the ADL teamed with Pepe creator Matt Furie to form a #SavePepe campaign to reclaim the symbol from those who use it with hateful intentions.

And that reminds me of what my father would say to those who downplayed calling them nazis......" I know these bastards. They tried to kill me for 2 1/2 years." Doesn't that slimy scum fucker just look like he goose stepped out of a Nuremberg rally?

Germans know too. Many of them still around who lived it.
