At least 7 stabbed at protest outside California Capitol

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — At least seven people were stabbed Sunday when counter-protesters clashed with members of right-wing extremists groups that planned to hold a rally outside the California state Capitol building in Sacramento, authorities said.

California Highway Patrol Officer George Granada said about 30 members of the Traditionalist Worker Party were gathering for a rally around noon Sunday when they were met by about 400 counter-protesters and a fight broke out.

As people tried to leave the area, smaller fights broke out, Granada said. He said no arrests had been made as of Sunday afternoon.

He said the Capitol remained on lockdown three hours after the large fight broke out but that things had calmed down and only about 70 "anti-fascists" remained in the area.

Videos from the melee posted on social media showed mounted police officers dispersing a group of mainly youth, some with their faces covered, while some throw stones toward a man holding a stick and being shielded by police officers in riot gear.

Sacramento Fire Department spokesman Chris Harvey said many other people had cuts, scrapes and bruises.

Yet it’s the commie leftist ANTIFA/BAMN/black-bloc scum who attack and shut down free speech/free assembly in true fascist style.

After just clubbing someone in the previous clip, Buford Pusser walks across the street and puts some hurt on a black lives matter guy.

LA TV reports far right wingers vs Protesters. As opposed to far left violent protesters.

How come it's always "White supremacists clash with protestors,"

But never, "White supremacists clash with **Communists**" or -- "LaRaza Supremacists clash with Trump rally attendees" ?

Traditionalist Worker Party? Darned if that don’t sound commie to me! Sure they didn’t get the titles mixed up, or maybe I misread it?
