        Did anyone do anything about this, or just snap a photo for journalistic purposes? On the surface, looks like cowardice all the way around.

        What exactly would you like me to have done? Take on 7 people with poles? Also right after this someone pulled a gun. I only carry cameras.

        It is because of this photo these attackers can be identified. I applaud the cameraman.

        Several sites will be posting a fuller set of photos tomorrow. I'll retweet them when they post. I'm trying to keep this story alive.

        Thanks Zach for what you do. It's dangerous and must be emotionally draining. Shame on those thinking you could do more.Stay safe.

        But if I didn't take this photo he still would have been attacked but would have had no evidence of the attack.

        Evidence is what makes the legal system work. Proof is what leads to justice.

        And just as a follow up, in case it wasn't clear.. That's why media is important. That's their role- to be our eyes in places we're not.

        That's why photographers risking life and limb- from war zones to riots to what @zdroberts posted above- is valuable. We need to see it.

        Those where white supremacists not cops. They were nearby but they were not witness to this.

        That's probably one of the reasons the #Nazis dress like they do, spreads even more confusion and anger
