Supersonic 49,376 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It was a scene ripe for violence last Friday night in Red Square on the University of Washington campus in Seattle: Several hundred fans of the racist "Alt-Right" figure Milo Yiannopoulos outside the hall where he was to speak, waiting to be let in, confronted by a much larger crowd of counter-protesters, chanting anti-Trump and anti-fascist slogans, including an organized pack of masked, black-clad anarchists. Eventually, violence did strike. An antifascist protester was shot during one of the many small melees that broke out during the evening. Police said a 34-year-old man was seriously wounded by the gunfire and was in critical condition at a local hospital after undergoing surgery. A man earlier identified as a “person of interest” in the case – described by the Seattle Times as an Asian man in a black leather coat with a maroon shirt underneath – turned himself in to police later and was arrested along with a man who accompanied him to the station. Both were later released without charges. Afterwards, Yiannopoulos and Breitbart News, where he is a celebrity editor, attempted to cast his supporters as the martyrlike victims in the shooting. However, Hatewatch’s eyewitness version of events is precisely the reverse: The shooter was a Trump-supporting man who had been acting as a provocateur in the crowd all night, while the victim was an anti-fascist liberal who had been acting as a peacekeeper in the moments before he was shot.

Were liberal activist showing their true violent and hateful nature the day of the inauguration when they smashed store front windows, blockaded streets with newspaper stands, set fire to trash cans and a limousine, sent six police officers to the hospital after throwing bricks and stones at them, and sucker punched a white nationalist on live television?

Violence isn't a partisan issue. I meant these individuals showed their true nature. There's hateful people in all groups. And yes, those looters and rioters showed their true nature on that occassion. Some people just look for excuses to commit these acts they normally would have no reason for committing.
