HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. -- A scuffle broke out on a Southern California beach where supporters of President Donald Trump were marching when counter-protesters doused organizers with pepper spray, authorities said Saturday.
The violence erupted when the march of about 2,000 people at Bolsa Chica State Beach reached a group of about 30 counter-protesters, some of whom began spraying the irritant, said Capt. Kevin Pearsall of the California State Parks Police.
Sometime after 12:30 p.m. confrontations and scuffles occurred between pro-Trump and anti-Trump protesters, CBS Los Angeles reported. Three people were arrested on suspicion of illegal use of pepper spray, Pearsall said.
There were several other arrests, and two people suffered minor injuries. But Pearsall said he did not immediately have further details.

I hope that there's video that will enable police to identify those who did the spraying for their assault charges and arrests.
What a POS article! more like THUGS ATTACK TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO TRY TO DEFEND THEMSELVES
how come its ALWAYS the Democrats who incite violence
They want to upend Capitalism and install a more Socialist / Communist style government where few have all the power and the rest of have none.
I hope they are getting a permit to gather a large group. Seems to me the sponsors should pay a retainer to fund the Police handling any rowdiness. If they don't behave, they lose their security deposit.
I became a Republican in November because the democrats are to violent.
To control protesters build a truck that can burn bails of confiscated pot with large tubes coming out the back and sides that can smoke them out with it.
They are the new Nazi's of our time. National Socialists Workers' Party - but they don't work.
