You'd think that would be one place in the country where their low numbers would cause them to slink away without causing trouble.

I guess a nice day is bringing out all the males who are spoiling for fights. It looks like an old fashioned Donnybrook.

The same group that destroyed property during Trump's inauguration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc

A black bloc is a name given to groups of protesters who wear black clothing, scarves, sunglasses, ski masks, motorcycle helmets with padding, or other face-concealing and face-protecting items. The clothing is used to conceal marchers' identities, and hinder criminal prosecution, by making it difficult to distinguish between participants. It is also used to protect their faces and eyes from items such as pepper-spray which law enforcement often uses. The tactic allows the group to appear as one large unified mass. Black bloc participants are often associated with anarchism.
