Raw Footage of the Violence at Lee Park, Charlottesville
Footage filmed by Ford Fischer shows the "Battle of Lee Park" on Saturday. "Just another day in the park," National Socialist leader Matthew Heimbach said before his "Traditionalist Workers Party" participated in a street skirmish with left-wing counter protesters.
The battle raged on and spanned many different groups until police pushed the "Unite the Right" rally off their designated area. This inflamed the conflict by pushing both sides together. Several were injured. Police appeared not to have conflicted any individual injuries.

I took a look at the "J6: Insurrection" Pinball Game currently exhibiting at CPAC.
Combining real January 6 footage, an AI-generated Trump voice telling the player "extra ball," and real Trump quotes, the pinball machine features modes like "Stop the Steal" and "Babbitt Murder."
Jonathan Linowes, designer of the "J6: Insurrection" Pinball Game, tells me "the idea is to bring the truth of what happened on J6 to an audience that is not necessarily that political."
He says there's been "a lot of pushback from the virtual pinball community."

This video was filmed beginning at 10:08 p.m. on May 2, 2015 in Baltimore by News2share credentialed reporters Ford Fischer and Trey Yingst.
It records the events before, during and after the involuntary detainment of Fischer by Baltimore police officers for allegedly breaking the citywide 10:00 pm curfew even though news media were exempt from the curfew.
Prior to the detainment approximately 4 minutes into the video, Fischer is attempting to objectively and safely record the events of the evening.
He remains on the opposite side of the street in order to avoid protestors and to stay out of the way of police.
While filming, he witnesses pepper spray, blunt force, and the threat of submachine guns used against people outside to enforce the curfew. When the police make an arrest, they approach Fischer and ask for his credentials. They are satisfied, and one says out loud “He’s credentialed media” and another officer says “I don’t care.”
At this point, the camera is cut off when Fischer is approached from behind by a Baltimore police officer, forced to the ground and handcuffed. The Baltimore officer who made the arrest was later identified as Detective Daniel Hersl.
Fischer is told he was violating curfew and is brought back to the police area to be processed.
At this point, Yingst begins filming. Yingst comes over to take possession of Fischer’s camera and backpack before he was taken to the police station, Yingst asks what the charge was. Twice more, the police say it is a curfew violation despite being credentialed media.
Upon realizing that media are exempt from curfew, the police change the charge to a civil citation for disorderly conduct which carries a $500 fine.
Fischer is released later that night and may choose to pay the fine or stand trial.

Violence broke out at Penn State Monday evening as Proud Boys and other right wingers arrived on campus to attend a planned event led by PB founder Gavin McGinnes and troll Alex Stein. Police clashed with protesters who opposed the event, but did not intervene as one right-wing protester deployed mace against a crowd and fled the scene.
The event was ultimately cancelled, which protesters celebrated as a victory before horseback-mounted officers pushed them off campus.

Jovi Val, a pro-Trump activist best-known for his demonstrations in New York City (such as last month's "Speak English Please" rally), spoke on stage during Sunday's "Unite the Right 2" rally.
"If you love this country, you sir, you ma'am, are a nationalist. And if you're white and you love this country, you're a white nationalist," he told the crowd. "There's a big difference between white supremacy and white nationalism. You have to stop using that word to describe someone you believe is a nazi."

Climate activists shut down the Capital Beltway's Inner Loop by slowing four vehicles to a stop side-by-side, then having activists get out into the road with banners to stop traffic. They demanding President Biden declare a climate emergency.
"It's a public road!" yelled an angry driver to the climate activists blocking traffic. "This is illegal. You cannot do this."
"People are gonna hate you guys. I have work. I'm gonna be unemployed. Are you gonna pay my family?"
Maryland State Troopers and Montgomery County Police responded, offering activists a chance to leave willingly, and then handcuffed and removed those who refused to stop blocking traffic. Some were dragged or carried as they refused to assist in their arrests.

Hundreds of climate activists led by the "Extinction Rebellion" movement blockaded several roadways throughout Washington to "Shut Down DC" traffic and draw attention to climate change.
One cluster gathered at 16th and K (one block south of the White house) where they chained their arms together inside of metal polls attacked to a boat. "Rebel for Life" was written on the boat, whose tires were slashed on arrival to make towing more difficult.
"We are in the middle of a catastrophic climate emergency" organizer Giovanni Tamacas told News2Share. "If we don't do anything right now, we're going to have mass extinction within the next 10 to 20 years."
Officers covered the activists' heads with bags and headphones while cutting apart the chains. The protesters were removed, but not formally charged with any crime in the incident.
At Dupont Circle, a second cluster included several activists chaining themselves to the top of ladders to block traffic. Those activists departed willingly when their cluster was joined by the 16th and K group.

Dozens of Pro-Palestine protesters were arrested by Capitol Police this morning after spilling red-stained money symbolizing aid to Israel around the atrium of the Hart Senate Capitol Office Building.
One climbed the Mountains and Clouds Sculpture to hang a banner reading "The People Choose Life."
Capitol Police issued warnings as protesters demanding "ceasefire now" sat down in the Hart Atrium and began arresting one by one.
"Not another nickel, not another dime, no more money for Israel's crimes," they chanted as some were dragged away in plastic handcuffs.
Police struggled to take a "AID TO ISRAEL = BANNING PALESTINIANS" banner from protesters who refused to let go of it.
They then began picking up and carrying away activists who wouldn't stand and walk when arrested.
As the activists in the Hart Capitol Office building were carried away, Capitol Police forced press and others (already behind a police line) to leave the floor entirely.
Press began filming from the second floor balcony as arrests continued.
Capitol staff began sweeping away the fake bloodied dollar bills representing aid to Israel on the floor as arrests continued.
However, the climber who hung the banner Mountains and Clouds Sculpture remained past the other activists.
Capitol Police instructed the climber on the Mountains and Clouds Sculpture to wait until the Fire Department brought a ladder rather than coming down himself.
Meanwhile, USCP forced press off the 2nd and then 4th floor, leaving us attempting to film from the 6th floor.
As the DC Fire Department brought a ladder to get the last activist down and arrested, a United States Capitol Police Officer tried to stop press from filming.
"Ceasefire now!" demanded the climber before being arrested.
"They don't want anybody to see that," the officer explained. "They don't wanna see what's gonna happen up here, that's all."
