Things got violent in Seattle yesterday as a demonstration in support of Second Amendment gun-rights brought out left-wing counter-protesters in Seattle versus right-wing pro-gun-rights patriots, forcing dozens of police to keep the two sides separated. Three men were arrested in the fighting and there was plenty of blood and mayhem. Just the way communists like it.

The Washington 3 Percenters, Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer, who are all conservative patriot groups, held their ‘Liberty or Death’ rally outside Seattle City Hall to oppose a city gun-control initiative. Nearby a group of left-wing organizations rallied and prepared to face-off with the conservatives. You’ll be shocked that the leftists included members of the communist Organized Workers for Labor Solidarity, Radical Women, and the Freedom Socialist Party. They yelled and used cowbells and sirens in an attempt to drown out speeches from the other side. When that didn’t work, they got their violence on.

One Trump supporter on the gun-rights side, sporting a Donald Trump hat, was treated for an injury at the scene. A police spokesman told the Seattle Times that a total of three men were arrested for misdemeanor assault. The two groups were separated by metal barricades along Fourth Avenue and a sea of Seattle police officers, many of them on bicycles.
