"White Student Union" invovled in DC May Day melee

http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/01/us/seattle-may-day-protests/index.html


In Washington on Wednesday, two May Day groups, with differing views, fought in Lafayette Park near the White House, police said.
The skirmish, between a group calling itself the White Student Union and another, the May Day Workers, escalated as combatants threw bags of urine and flag poles at each other.

One person was arrested, U.S. Park Police said.

"We were here to protest communism and to stand up for the blue collar working class. And then I got urine thrown on me," said Matthew Heimbach, president of the White Student Union. "So it shows really how tolerant these people are."


What a bunch of assholes.

bumrush liberal gathering/rallies/marches, start shit with the hopes that it escalates into a fight or full-scale riot (it helps to have a few shills planted on the other side), and be the FIRST to cry to the news cameras and police about what those mean, 'Murika-hating libruls did to you and all the damage they did to the local park/stores/whatever...

How much you wanna bet that *ALL* 17 of those arrested were May Day Workers??
