Fascists get their asses kicked

by Rampage Monday, Dec. 10, 2001 at 2:21 AM

Our movement never stops in the war against fascism

Today Anti Racist Action, ANTIFA (Anti Fascist) anarchists, members of the Unitarian Church, Los Amigos, and Progressive Labor Party rocked a fascist rally. As groups gathered together before the fascists started their speech, violence broke out between the Anti-Fascists and the fascists. Several fascists were injured as a couple of people got in fist fights with them. During this encounter a anarchist attacked a few fascists with a piece of wood which apparrently had a nail at the end. A fascist tried to subdue the anarchist but was assaulted from behind by another comrade. The fascist made a move towards a handgun (This has been confirmed) that was in his back waist, when the anarchist told him to cool down. This person later on made a speech and was reffered to as reverand (Pastors are strapped these days). A fascists flag was later set on fire, and ANTIFAs and others moved in front of the stage and disrupted several speeches. Violence later broke out as fascists got more and more heated, starting fights, and attempting to assault people. Though out numbered the anti fascists were able to stick to their ground, and only one person suffered minor injuries (A couple of scratches), while the fascists (Speakinf frankly) got their asses kicked. Fascists walked around with cuts on their faces and swollen cheeks. The speakers made fun of mexicans, and told them to go back to Mexico. A canidate for Republican California Govenor stated that, "Mexicans are dumming our children in school.", and that he promises to close the borders and put the National Guard there. The speakers promised to put a "Senior Citizen" brigade to stop "Aliens" from coming into the US/Mexican border. They claimed that the anti fascists were being controlled by Osama Bin Laden, and Communists from China (And Russia). People responded by screaming "Liar", "Bullshit", "Racists!", "Fascists", and chanted over the speakers. The demo ended without any arrests (This has not been confirmed but to my knowledge there wasnt any) and people disperesed back to their vehicles. To everyone who went, you all did a bad ass job out their. Remember never back down.

ANTIFA!

I was there, I saw how they got their ass kicked with that stick and had blood coming down their cheeks. Im surprised the cops didn't move in to do shit. That one girl was there she works on the taco bell boycott she was down and schooling those mother fuckers. I had to leave early so I didn't know how it ended, did anything else happen towards the end?

anti immigrant protestors

by anarchy or death Monday, Dec. 10, 2001 at 4:31 AM

to be honest most of these people i dont think were fascists or nazi's..they were just nationalist which is somewhat different. .. i think we should know what they are really about so we can combat it .. i think by just yelling fascist fuck you at them they werent really connecting with us since they probably dont consider themselves fascists or nazis.. most of them think of themselves as american patriots who hated fascism .. they just dont realize america is fascist too...most of these people were just misled dumbs shits living in whitebread orange county and never knew anything about american imperialism..they were calling us taliban and all this nonsense...

i really felt sorry for most these people..lots of em i think were just hard working union people or reform party dorks who went nationalist instead of anti-imperialit.. i wish there was some way to educate these people a few seemed they could of had there minds changed...

the rascist thugs who started fighting and that preacher with the gun deserved a nail and a wooden stick (espically that gun toting preacher that fucker) but most of these people were just ignorant dumb shits sitting around talking about who was the most wing nut of all -i think they are just products of this fucked up country sort of like those people who see aliens in the desert...but definetly the

if they think they can push us around since they are viet nam vets or big burely guys waving the american flag. fuck them. we remember the children they killed with napalm and the 13 million 3rd world people killed by america. i just wish i could change there mind instead of fight. but its so hard since they have the microphone and we are just a bunch of "young kids"

not to mention theyve got some serious brain washing to get out of there system...



one day the workers will be organized to fight the system instead of work for it. we need to outreach to all these people. lets go to factory gates and hand out literature.

we need to be everywhere talking to everyone we must grow. it is just the begining.

Rally becomes brawl

No one is arrested or seriously hurt at protest over Mexican ID policy.

December 9, 2001

By PAIGE AUSTIN

The Orange County Register



ANAHEIM -- If they came looking for a fight, they sure got one.

A brawl broke out Saturday morning in front of Anaheim City Hall, as 20 to 30 members of opposing protest groups shoved, kicked and punched each other before the start of a rally called to denounce the Anaheim Police Department's decision to accept Mexican consulate cards as valid identification.

The California Coalition for Immigration Reform organized the rally. As is typical for the coalition's events, counterprotesters, including members of the Los Angeles-based Anti-Racist Action and People Against Racist Terror, also showed up. The groups have clashed violently at past rallies.

Members of the anti-racist groups threw punches at coalition supporters, who had snatched a counterprotester's red flag.

When coalition members dragged the flag through the gutter, the violence spilled into the street.

The fighting lasted for only a minute and broke up with no serious injuries.

The 250 or so people on hand - about 20 of whom suffered cuts and bruises - went back to protesting. The two sides continued to antagonize each other throughout the three-hour rally.

Twelve Anaheim police officers arrived after the brawl but made no arrests.

Orange County police agencies, including Anaheim's, decided last month to begin accepting ID cards issued by Mexican consulates to Mexican nationals living in this country. The decision means that victims, witnesses and others stopped by police can avoid having to be detained while police verify their identity.

Police say the cards save them time and help them keep track of witnesses who might otherwise give authorities false names or addresses.

Little was actually said about the ID cards at the rally. Most of the arguments centered on the rights of undocumented immigrants and allegations of racism.

However, one coalition member said the new policy condones illegal immigration.

"We're being invaded," shouted Los Angeles resident Gypsy Sano. "They're taking over our country, our housing, our jobs."

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Nick Jesson promised coalition supporters he would close the borders if elected. and would deport all undocumented immigrants.

"Hispanics want to take over California. They say it belongs to them," Jesson said.

That anti-immigrant sentiment is typical of the scapegoating that emerges when the economy takes a downturn, said Becky Sanchez, one of about 70 Anaheim-based counterprotesters from groups such as the North Orange County Green Party and Alianza Indigena.

"The reason for the counterprotest is to protect Anaheim from racist invaders," said Anaheim resident Nathan Dumas.

"They don't want us (Hispanics) here," said Jaime Vega, a longtime Anaheim resident. "They're creating an environment of hatred against us."

here is a new article on there website with one of the fascist leaders of the american patrol speaking about yesterdays events:

Glenn Spencer on the Anaheim Rally

December 9, 2001

Should anyone be surprised at the biased reporting in the Los Angeles Times and Daily News? The "In Defense of America" rally was organized by American Patrol and the California Coalition for Immigration Reform. It was to be a peaceful rally, as we intend all of our rallies to be. The Orange County Register opens with "If they came looking for a fight, they sure got one." We did not come looking for a fight, we came to demand enforcement of our immigration laws. If anyone knew we were going to be in front of the city hall, it was the Anaheim Police Department. When the communists showed up, bent as they usually are, on disrupting our peaceful rally, the cops were nowhere to be found. When the punches started flying the cops were nowhere to be found. It was a repeat of last year's Fourth of July attack at the Federal Building. We were attacked because the cops refused to give us protection. The federal police had to step in and break up the attack in the middle of Wilshire Blvd. For that, Jim McDonald, head of the Federal Protective Service in Southern California, was removed from duty,

As I was trying to take video shots of the counter-demonstrators, one attacked me. I grabbed the flag he was using as a weapon and tore it from his hands. A struggle ensued and my camera was knocked to the ground. Still running, it was pointing at Anaheim Blvd. Over the cries of "call 911" the camera recorded an Anaheim Police car driving by. After knocking the attacker over a wall, I picked up my camera and recorded an older gentleman mopping blood from his face. I interviewed him on camera. He is a Korean War Navy vet. He said he never thought he would be fighting for his country in Anaheim.

More later.
