I remember that ,I watched the whole thing unfold...when Pantifa couldn't stop Patriot Prayer from their legally permitted exercise of the first amendment with their bull horns they began throwing things at them....the people of Patriot Prayer just took the abuse and the brawl didn't start till Pantifa injured people by throwing M80s into the crowd.
The Pantifa in your gif deserved what he got as he was fixing to melee a guy on the ground who was in the fetal position being beaten by multiple Pantifas.
Look up the videos from that day...you can see another Pantifa that had some fantasy about beating down a guy carrying the American Flag and got the $h!t beat out of him with the pole and said flag... pricelessly delivered poetic justice if you ask me lol.
