The story is trickling in, so we expect more to come out as we go along. The sign in this picture belonged to a Nazi. So did the blood splattered on it. Why in all holy hell did Nazis think they could pull this crap in the town that is the home of Evergreen State College – who once had Mumia Abu-Jamal give a commencement address – is beyond us!
KING 5
Protesters clashed on the streets of Olympia on Saturday night. Olympia police said there were at least 150 people in the streets.
One Evergreen State College student heard that several members of a neo-Nazi group clashed with “black lives matter” demonstrators.
“All I saw was it was a melee… and everyone was shouting that they chased the Nazis out… that’s the general message that they’re chasing Nazis out of Olympia,” the students said.
Some protesters slashed the tires of a sheriff deputy’s car, others beat patrol cars with bats.
There’s no word on whether anyone was arrested.
Report from antifa in Olympia:
“the nazis have been out on the streets for the better part of a week in defense of opd who shot two unarmed black men for stealing beer.There have also been a number of attacks against people recently, people being stalked, and the racism in the town is seriously popping off. Last night hundreds of very angry, very down people came out to meet them if they showed up again. They showed up, but all the normal not nazi racists who were with them before fled earlier when they realized there was no chance. The boneheads were coincidentally (?) Found beside cryptotropa, the black metal bar where the exanarchist, now fascists hang out. The boneheads tried to rumble, they injured a couple people but were chased through the streets pelted with rocks, paint, flares, poles, and chairs, lots of punches, pepprr spray and fire extinguishers. They ran back to their cars, all of which were completely smashed with them inside.
Oh and then pretty much any racist on the street got it, including a cab driver and cab company that is known to associate with the nazi scum.
I should add that these aren’t dress like Hitler and march around protected by police nazis. These are very scary prison/street gang nazis.”
