(From the OP)
..."He said he pursued a counter-demonstrator down a side street and found himself surrounded by a dozen protesters in black masks who he said attacked him with sticks and pepper spray."
"These people create violence all the time....somebody has to stand up to them," said Alegria.

"Somebody has to stand up to 'THEM'"???...Who the hell are "them"?

Hey Al Alagria, the "dozen protesters in black masks' who attacked you were NOT anti-trump "counter protesters", they were PAID agent provocateurs, who attacked you because you dared to chase one of their own down a side street.......Get your facts straight, asshole!

K&R!
