On the night of Tuesday, November 21st, Orange County activists were assaulted by multiple Minutemen supporters in Garden Grove. The activists showed up for a peaceful protest and when they entered the Women's Club of Garden Grove, they were attacked by many Minutemen supporters. One activist was attacked by a lady with pepper spray and was in pain for almost an hour.
Garden Grove police were called and the activists had left the scene before being further harrassed. Knowing that the Minutemen meeting was open to the public, the activists were not breaking any laws by attending. Threats of trespassing were made, but the activists left when asked. As far as I know, no assault charges have been filed by any of the activists.
Racist organizations like the Minutemen will be protested. This is just another example of how violent and ignorant their organization is.
