I’m not so concerned about that, I want to see some heads getting hit.
As the counter protesters try to take away the barricades some are getting smacked with 2x4s. One woman who tried to remove a barricade got her fingers smashed with a stick. The Hamas supporters have plywood and are holding that up where their barricades have been removed by the counter protestors.
Maybe the police are going to let this play out. In any case this is about 1000 people on both sides more or less. The police will need to equip and mobilize and that will take time. Seems like the political leadership had no idea how things might escalate, or de-escalate. Complacency so the counter protestors had the element of surprise.
