They just had there, a lot of these guys are traveling up and down the west coast for these rallies and a large factor for them is confronting and physically fighting people who oppose the, so much so that maybe they should be called 'hate rumbles' instead of rallies.

Just watched some live coverage online on a local station in Seattle. One guy was standing at the police line and trying to provoke the counter demonstrators while filming himself on his iphone.

The protestors far outnumber the hatemongers.
