California

We continue to be a country divided as all hell broke loose at what was described as a ‘Nazi mega-rally‘ in Sacramento, California.

According to reports, fights broke out between a far-right group called the Traditional Workers Party and counter protests resulting in multiple injuries including five stabbings that are considered non life threatening.

Here’s CBS News with the details:

Officer Matt McPhail with the Sacramento Police Department says none of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.

The victims were all present while a protest took place, though McPhail said it was still unclear whether and how they were involved.

The Traditionalist Workers Party had scheduled and received a permit to protest at noon Sunday in front of the Capitol. McPhail says a group of counter-protesters showed up to demonstrate against them.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has described TWP as a group formed in 2015 as the political wing of the Traditionalist Youth Network, which aims to “indoctrinate high school and college students into white nationalism.”

Frances Wang of ABC 10 was able to capture some video of the violent incident:

The event that was said to of attracted multiple white supremacy groups on the capital (which was said to be a permitted rally) has been cancelled and the California State Capital has been put on lockdown.
