Ok now that shit has calmed down I'm gonna attempt a recap The far right formed a shield wall. Swinney and several others began firing paintballs into the crowd in response to some thrown water bottles At least one person in the counterprotest returned fire with a paintball gun

Thank you for catching our lovely visitors sharing their spirit and culture, which is no different than the cops spirit and culture. I am quite pissed off, too. As you say, the injustice and promotion of rightwing violence by cops we pay $1.2 million/day could not be more obvi.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
