Furious fighting as Trumpers try to invade BLM Plaza after "March for Trump"

Submitted by Luke on Sun, 12/13/2020 - 19:32

The 12th of December saw intense fighting all over downtown DC as another "March4 Trump" descended on the city. The Proud Boys and militias were with them, and attempted assaults on BLM Plaza ranged from minor skirmishes to a full-on charge. By evening, police lines intended to prevent fights had the opposite effect as anti-fascists activists found their access to their own side of the battlefield blocked off.
