Trump Merchandise Burned 00:05:51
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
We are in Minnesota.
unidentified
Make the masses made mass non-violent protests.
Congress better get off its ass because this is going to turn our country upside down.
I'm all for the future being disabled.
The thought process has to be that deep.
Can you make a U-turn?
Go KKK!
Go Racist USA!
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Civil so far.
unidentified
I'm waiting on it to blow off a little bit.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Welcome back to Slight the Offensive here on Blaze TV.
My name is Elijah Shaver, your favorite gay black woman reporting live outside of the Minnesota rally for Trump.
Where we have a large counterprotest going on.
We have Mace already flying.
People are beginning to get arrested in violence, but the police are pushing back.
Obviously, here I am out of breath.
unidentified
But I'm here.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Mace is coming out.
Fair Mace is coming out.

Hope you enjoy the show.
unidentified
So we saw people lighting MAGA hats on fire, lighting other things on fire.
People washing police, throwing objects at police.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
where we stand there was a fire of actually Trump merchandise so we got some Trump hats that were set on fire here today Some say Trump 2020.
Here we have one that says Trump 2020 as well.
I think this is covering some things, some hats going on here.
Somebody said they were snatched from people, but I don't have any confirmation on whether they were brought or snatched.
I don't know.
unidentified
Somebody had a bunch of Trump hats and they set them on fire.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
So they brought them over here?
unidentified
Hey, we set a Trump 2020 flag on fire.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Nice.
So did they steal them or did they just own them?
I think that every Trump hat I've seen today has been taken.
But I missed out on this and it sounds awesome.
unidentified
But I've seen a couple hats get snatched today.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
And we burned them on fire.
And then we set them on fire.
But it's interesting that you see that there is a lot of animosity towards people who do wear these hats in the fact that these people see these as a sign of hate.
Enough to really steal, commit a crime and burn.
Now, what we have right here is we have a sign in the middle of this that says, I'm here for immigrants, black folks, brown folks, etc.
Somali mentally ill, sick folks, people of mine, F white nationalism, F Trump.
And that gives you the picture of what we have here today.
unidentified
The statistics say this is not the problem.
The white extremists are the ones who are causing the mass killings.
Those are the real terrorists on the rise, not these people.
You should be facing inward to the building, not outward.
The average police commission is a fucking fascist.
They're my friends.
That black motherfucker.
F ⁇ you, James!
That's so hot.
You're all about me.
Yeah, don't fuck.
I can't touch your f*****g ass!
Ass mother f*****er!
Hey are you good?
Are you good?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Are you okay?
unidentified
I'm okay.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Okay, they hit you from behind.
I'm just making sure you're good.
unidentified
It's bullshit.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, just check it.
You're obviously not welcome.
You gotta go.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
You gotta go, buddy.
unidentified
You know, this is America, man.
But obviously you're outnumbered by people that don't want you here, dude.
Be smart.
Be smart.
At the same time, can we just have a conversation, if anything?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Not willing, they're angry.
unidentified
Why would you have a conversation with somebody that's angry?
Go!
Just walk!
Trump!
No KKK!
No!
Fascist yourself!
Man, that's feeding you!
Mike, you're bleeding!
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
You need to go to the hospital, bro.
You need to go to hospital, alright?
unidentified
You fool Lincoln bitch!
You're supposed to stand in front of your people.
Look at you, looking like a motherfucking media.
What are you doing?
Hey!
I'm not a idiot, dude!
Oh!
Show him fucking love!
Who cares Trump, but the whooping?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
These guys are human beings, man.
unidentified
You treat an animal like this.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Here we go.
We are here right now at the exit of one of the main lots from the Trump rally in Minnesota, where protesters have gathered against.
On my left, we have over here the actual police officers who are trying to allow cars to exit safely.
They're not letting cars leave the lots anymore at the Trump rally.
So this is where it gets taken over.
And we see the battle between the people and the police.
Who's in control?
unidentified
R-Street! R-Street! R-Street!
Keep the bike low, keep the bike low!
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼

That's why I just said don't mace anyone.
That sucks.
Do you want to f***ing make fun of me for getting mace in the face or do you want to f***ing back off?
unidentified
So at
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
the end of the Anti-Trump rally, what we have here is basically a standoff between protesters who are still in the area and police who have put on riot gear.
Of course, there was some contradictions and some controversy about how to actually police this event, considering the fact that there was arguments over the finances.
However, as what we see here is like every other protest in the United States that we end up coming across, it ends like this.
Protesters on one side, police on the other.
The people, the establishment.
But the question is, who's going to last the longest?
The truth is, is once the bear mace comes out, everybody runs.
unidentified
You don't belong, Mr. Trent!
Damn it!
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
It's a mace again.
unidentified
You're good at it again?
You okay?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Right in the right eye!
unidentified

It's the second time getting again mace again.
Let's keep reporting.
I got mace in my eyes.
I can't really see.
unidentified
It doesn't really matter.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
I know.
I can't see, but hey, let's do this.
So, hey, guys, we're here and reporting with the police lines, which is like very good with the mace in the face.
And we got the drums, and we're here on a municipal valley.
We're basically here right here at the front lines.
And we have Trump supporters yelling four more years, but the police aren't here.
And they have their batons, and they're essentially holding back the protesters and the Trump supporters from clashing over the railways.
What's up, dude?
Dude, nice to meet you, Pearson.
Thank you guys for doing what you're doing.
unidentified
Hey, thanks for showing up.
Thank you.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Sorry, the air is a lot spicy.
Yeah, I got based twice by you guys, but you guys are good.
Anyways, you guys, just doing your job.
Just doing your job.
So protesters and Trump supporters were having a bit of a skirmish here.
And they brought up a train, surprisingly enough, and it calmed things down.
I don't know how that worked, but it did.
And now there's a train here, and there's police, and we all...
Oh, it's leaving!
Welcome back to the shit show That doesn't look good You guys shouldn't go in the middle, guys.
