Instead of an image which doesn't tell us the story, here are:

And instead of DailyMail parroting and summarizing others in their own words, here's who ACTUALLY reported on this:

And then here are further articles from that same source:

I would encourage everyone to NOT immediately believe headlines, and instead look for the original sources. Investigate even them, and decide for yourself what happened.

I'll never understand how anarchists, socialists, communists, transgenders and Black supremacists all somehow ended up on a team together fighting against the US. It's like some weird fucking anime fighting game.

Because they are basically the same people. It's all young people, who know fuck all and felt their lives were empty, that got brainwashed into believing this "privilege pyramid" and everything just evolved in different directions from there. Most of them don't even understand what they are "fighting" for.

They are just overwhelmed, don't understand anything and have no hope for the future so they grab on to "issues". It's a replacement for the loss of religion. A lot of people need to believe in something because they don't understand the world without it.

It's a case of either "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" or "lie down with dogs, get up with fleas". Hard to pick.

Russia admitted to financing a meme campaign here in the U.S., and China is way more tech-savvy than Russia. I'd say yes.

He said the melee began when a woman yanked an American flag off the cart, demanding it be replaced with a Pride flag instead

Man thinks he'll have a better life in America, learns America is hated by Americans and is overflowing with violent crazies.

Maybe flair this one as violence? That is so beyond fucked up.
