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.

ReplyDeleteI 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.
