Shocking moment right-wing Proud Boys group and Antifa protesters brawl during ugly clash in Michigan
A RALLY organized by far-right group Proud Boys in Kalamazoo, Michigan, escalated into violence when they were met by a peaceful church vigil.
The First Congregational Church hosted a gathering of anti-racism counter protesters, who formed a perimeter around the area in Arcadia Creek. [color="DarkRed"]{Watza matta wif u?? Doancha know weez onlee wun rasse, de huuman rasse???}
“The Proud Boys, they not only have hatred for Jewish people and Muslim people, but they’re also very hateful of anybody who doesn’t look like them or act like them,” Rev. Nathan Dannison, the church’s pastor, told local outlet MLive.
Dannison urged the crowd to commit themselves to non-violence and non-aggression.
“Let’s work together to remain peaceful and manifest positive energy with each other, to take care of each other, to take care of our own selves and our own safety, and to defend one another,” he said.
Shortly after the church's group had congregated in the area, in anticipation of the Proud Boys' rally, the right-wing protesters entered, waving American, Trump and Gadsden flags - a flag with a yellow field depicting a timber rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike.
Beneath the rattlesnake resting on grass are the words: "Dont Tread on Me".
The Proud Boys started attacking the counter protesters, according to reporter Samuel Robinson, who was pepper sprayed by the nationalists.
Robinson, who is black, was later arrested by police for "impeding traffic", while he was streaming a Facebook Live report for his local paper.
"Hell has broken loose," he tweeted while covering the protest.

Protesters can be seen throwing punches and a white nationalist was caught on camera punching a Black man in the face.The police arrived hours after the protest started, but showed up around 2pm wearing riot gear.
The Proud Boys group originally planned to hold a rally in Arcadia Creek Festival Place but the group began to move through the city when the church held its vigil.
The group then moved towards Bronson Park.
On Friday, a Vigilant Anti-Fascist Action posted on social media that Proud Boy members from out of town were on their way to Kalamazoo, WWMT reported.
That same group first posted about the pro-fascism rally in Kalamazoo on July 27, 2020.
Police were filmed making arrests but it is unclear how many.
The Southern Poverty Law Center lists the Proud Boys as a hate group because of what the center says is the group’s frequent denigration of Muslims and Islam, misogynistic rhetoric, and its role as a gateway to other extremist groups.

In Pennsylvania carbon entities are getting letters like the one below:
The source for the Loose Bowel Movement (BLM = LBM) ultimatum was unclear as to the exact source, it was somewhere in a PBS propaganda piece. That is irrelevant, in my opinion. NIGGERS bolstered by JOOZ are giving ultimatums all over the kwa.
Pay tribute? Reparations??
BULLSHIT!!!!!
If the SHTF in my area the would-be murderers would be paid in lead. I can't retreat since I'm handicapped.
And I don't die easily. I've been shot at, nearly froze to death in Germany. made it into and out of East Germany when I went to Berlin on an engineering trip, accidentally swam with sharks in several places on the globe (like off of Key West even), and been in similar situations.
And, I'm still very, very much alive.
Don't try me out. You won't like what I do if the SHTF.
