“The neo-Nazis just kept coming in groups over and over. We were far outnumbered, but I watched countless antifa youth risk their lives, one by one, to fight back.”

    “The police did nothing. I looked over at the police many times in the midst of the chaos only to find some laughing at certain points.”

    Many despicable things happened that day, of course, but this one tells a whole substory in itself.

    This was a harrowing read. Holy shit.

    I detest violence, but see a nazi, punch a nazi is truly the stance needed. I hope I’ll be brave enough if and when the moment arrives.

    One man came up to the clergy line with a t-shirt of Adolf Hitler’s face right above a large swastika. He was very eager and adamant to inform us that he worshipped the same Jesus we do. It was in that moment that I realized how far darkness can take a person into complete falsehood. I wanted to look that man in the eye and tell him that his Jesus is not the one who hung from the cross for those he despises. But I could not say a word.
