Violence Breaks Out At Pro-Trump Rally
Thousands of Americans who support U.S. President Donald Trump took to the streets last night (Saturday) throughout the country.
Dozens of fist fights broke out over the course of a few intense hours. Trump’s motorcade briefly stopped so he could wave at supporters.
A man with a megaphone at the Trump rally started a chant of “Get a job” aimed at the counter demonstrators.
“This can not go unchallenged anymore”, said Black. Because that’s what good people should be doing.
Co-organizer Kathy Zhu, a pro-Trump activist, also denied that the Berkeley march was exclusively dedicated to Trump.
Supporters of Trump came out in larger numbers than expected, highlighting their right to free speech.
“After this, I think people will take the hint”, former US Marine David Moore told Reuters as he participated in the rally.
Despite the mayhem, several Trump fans who participated in the Berkeley event said they thought it was worth it.
As traffic passed, many cars honked their horns, some long and hard, while other drivers gave the participants in the rally a thumbs-up. Members of the feuding groups were also heard singing the National Anthem and others hurling obscenities at Trump.
The ubiquitous Make America Great Again hats were prominent at the pro-Trump rally Saturday March 4, 2017 at the state Capitol. “More importantly, we wanna reach out to all Americans”. That’s why they’re here.
They said they wanted to come together for a “March 4 Trump” demonstration that was about the country uniting and moving forward.
Washington State Patrol said it arrested four demonstrators – three men, one woman – for assaulting a police officer at a rally at Olympia’s Heritage Park, according to ABC affiliate KOMO.
The I-4 Corridor “March 4 Trump” rally was one of hundreds to happen across the country Saturday.
Trump supporter Tricia Cunningham said the rally had a peaceful message of unity.
Gervin is a local reporter covering state politics and estimated that the crowd was no more than 1,000 people. “As long as you’re not causing harm to others, I will uphold the right for everyone to speak”. “We’re just here to be proud of our choices”.
