Parade of Trump supporters and counter-protesters clash in NYC; weapons seized, police officer hospitalized

News & Politics

Supporters of former President Donald Trump held a parade in New York City on Friday, but were met by counter-protesters. The event featured the unfurling of a 50-foot “Trump 2024” flag, and a march from Trump Tower to Times Square, but tensions flared after a counter-protest was staged.

A large crowd of Trump supporters marched down Fifth Avenue and carried Gadsden and thin blue line flags as well as large banners, including one showing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi depicted as being evil while ripping up a copy of Trump’s 2020 State of the Union speech.

As the Trump supporters made their way to Times Square, NYPD officers attempted to keep counter-protesters at bay. However, there were several tense exchanges and multiple arrests.

Video journalist Ford Fischer from News 2 Share shared footage from the event, including the moment where a counter-protester confronted a group with “Asians for Trump” signs. The counter-protester gets in the face of one Trump supporter and screams, “Fight me, Fight me then!”

“As the rally rounded into the pedestrian plaza on Broadway and 42nd street, the group stopped and several counter-protesters began yelling that someone had a knife,” Freedom News TV reported.

Video journalist Oliya Scootercaster of Freedom News TV shared footage of the Trump parade, including the arrests of several counter-protesters. As NYPD arrests one counter-protester, police officers find a hammer hidden in his jacket. The man said the hammer was for “protection.”

NYPD confiscated multiple weapons during the event, including brass knuckles and a knife. NYPD said one police officer was taken to the hospital after a liquid, which was believed to be bleach, was thrown into his eyes.

“Four arrests were made for various crimes, including assaults on police officers and weapons possession,” NYPD announced on Twitter. “Violent actions will not be tolerated from those who claim to be ‘peaceful protestors.'”

The parade was to show support for Trump running for president in the 2024 election. Last Sunday, Trump made his first public appearance since Inauguration Day at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Trump hinted that he may run for president in 2024.

“But who knows, I may even decide to beat them for a third time,” Trump said, which made the CPAC crowd cheer loudly.

  1. Some stete of affairs. They are trying to goat law abiding Trump supporters in to doing something brash.
    Problem is at some point we will have to defend ourselves.

    1. The left is getting too bold, too hostile, and too Anti-American. I agree at some point reasonable people will have to defend America

    2. If I may Attilio Contini, I see the problem that we Veterans, Reservists, National Guardsmen and Active Duty are facing is that we swore our Oath of Enlistment (Appointment) and are bound “to support and defend The Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.” All federal employees, elected, appointed and hired swear a very similar Oath…all include “to support and defend our Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.”
      In our society, when you Dishonor your Oath, you are forevermore considered Dishonorable and unable to swear/affirm an Oath for any purpose. It doesn’t take much observation of the employees of We The People in their official duties to realize that 70% of our elected, appointed and hired employees dream their Oath on a very regular basis. For example, if a legislator(s) drafted an anti-gun bill, they would have their Oath as the 2nd Amendment reads: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” 27 words, the last 4 being “shall not be infringed.”
      I don’t give a fat rat’s ass who interprets this or anything else in The Constitution, shall not be infringed as well as the rest 2nd Amendment is clear and simple to understand. Gun control is completely and unequivocally unconstitutional. Period.

  2. Trump is still the President of the United States of America as created under the Constitution for the United States of America.

      1. Apparently you like to gloss over mass organized corruption in the 2020 election and pretend that it didn’t happen.

      1. The current anti American Politicians are passing laws to make their election steal appear legitimate, but won’t work. Just because the Commie Justices refused to look at the fraud, that doesn’t mean that the fraud didn’t happen.

        1. You are absolutely right. And they’ve been doing it a long time. Does anyone believe Pelosi, Maxine Waters, AOC, Omar, the Rinos McConnell and Romney get voted in time and time again when they only act in their own self-interests and do nothing for the citizens of this country? Nobody is voting for these disgusting criminals. They’ve been buying and stealing their offices for decades in some of their cases.

  3. Enough is enough. Trump supporters have to take a stand. American freedom is counting on us. These other groups are getting way out of control. The Democrats won’t prosecute them. So they think they can do whatever they want. Harris went as far as to bail them out so they could commit other crimes. She needs to be held accountable for what she has done. As for Pelosi, she needs to be held accountable for January 6th riot at the capital. She didn’t do her job that she is paid to do. So now is the time to take a stand against the Democrats corruption

    1. Where was this action when Black Lives Matters so called peaceful protestors were burning down properties, injuring people and killing others? Where was the police and city and state when many people were being victimized by these Domestic Terrorists which came from the Black Liberation Army? Their claim ,” NYPD announced on Twitter. “Violent actions will not be tolerated from those who claim to be ‘peaceful protestors.’” is poppy cock. We need to stand up for Trump before America is stolen completely from us by these commie SOB’s Biden is a fool, Kamala Harris is a puppet of Black Lives Matter and the letter that they sent to the White House with a list of their demands proves this as this was planned long ago. These are nothing more than plots to steal our rights and make whites slaves and defenseless against their plans by taking our Second Amendment and I like others will be damned if that is acceptable. Who is with me. It will end up in our going to war in our nation.

      1. Ricardo, I have dog Wormer so u can get the worms 🐛 and lies out of ur body who knows u might shit ur self to death u SICK PUPPET PUPPY.

  4. We are all in trouble if our Government doesn’t get it together! This is a Circus and Biden is the incompetent ring leader with Kamala and Nancy as clown assistants! We should all be embarrassed and ashamed that this freak show continues to go on! Sickening!

    1. Biden is not the Democrats ring leader, it’s Barack Obama. Remember what Obama told Putin. These people are all Obama’s puppets. Americans should not be waiting to stop this Marxist socialist movement now, you see what they have done in just 45 days. Need to impeach Biden, Harris and Pelosi, all three are anti-American and are working to destroy our constitution which they took an oath to defend. Start now.

      1. William you bet ,Obama is behind a lot of this he wouldn’t endorces sleepy Joe until he figured a way to get another term behind the backs of Democratic slackers, unless there is serious pushback this can only go one way DOWN.I would like to know where is the Repubs?

      2. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed for impeachment against Biden who is compromised by his crooked dealings with our enemies and isn’t even eligible to be president. But her articles of impeachment are collecting dust on a desk. We all need to call our so-called representatives and demand the impeachment is acted upon, daily. We cannot be silent now. Email, call their offices and ignore any attempts to silence your voices by a pile of lying communist criminals who have stolen their positions and usurped our government. If we don’t show the courage of our ancestors, we will lose the country they fought for. And there isn’t any time to lose.

    2. Biden isn’t the ring leader, George Soros, Big Tech and the CCP are running the show. Biden and the rest of the communists usurping our government in who knows how many stolen elections, do their bidding. They are all imposters. No one should obey them, or acknowledge them as lawful leaders. They are all criminals pretending to be our duly elected officials. They steal our money, call out violence against us, ignore the constitution and the Bill of Rights and are getting away with baffling Americans with bullsh!t. They don’t even believe most of what they say. The absolute worse criminals in the country have taken over our government and still many listen to the evil things. They are involved in the worst criminal activity against humanity. There are not brought to justice because under Obama they were enabled to infiltrate every arm of our justice system and there are no checks and balances. Biden who has been compromised a long time ago with his criminal dealings with our worst enemies, isn’t even eligible for the presidency. Neither is his “VP”. Why is AMYONE listening to a word these hoodlums have to say?

      1. I suggest you start by refusing any stimulus monies offered to you and your family. Then accept no governmental assistance from the current administration. Keep your hatred active and step it up a bit. Then you will be believable.

  5. Trump supporters don’t wear helmets and weapons. FBI will check it out but they will only arrest Trump Supporters they only work for the Left.

  6. at some point I think we are going to have to take on the nutsacks on the left. Cops should step back and the left should get the full azz whippin from the working class that the right hasnt unleashed on them yet to the last dolt. if they cant be civil, them give them total incivility.

  7. There is much truth in the comments made on this web sight. The left is now running this country, with help of the Rino’s, fake news and machines from President Maduro of Venezuela President. Trump had the election stolen from him. This not the first Presidential election stolen in my time, Kennedy election was stolen by the Mafia in Chicago. The truth will come out eventually and America will pay with lack of boarder security, higher tax’s and more crime and maybe a major war. The M.O. of the Democracts is to start war’s. Tune in for the United States becoming an Banana Republic with debt we can’t pay off and true communist country like ou4 beloved Cuba…

    1. You apparently do not understand true anarchism. Are you aware that the founding fathers of the U.S. were philosophical anarchists ?

      1. No, they weren’t. They had a plan to institute a different form of government which allowed maximum freedom for individuals; bottom-up government as opposed to a top-down monarchy. Anarchists have no plan, just eliminate government entirely.

    2. The answer isn’t to shoot enough of something causing problems it’s to get them all. Just like rats. You leave one pregnant rat live and eventually you get more rats again !

  8. The weapons were taken from Antifa/BLM who were there to provoke Trump supporters. The conservatives were really brave to march in NYC knowing they would be targets for attack by hysterical leftists. Just look at how they behave — totally out of their minds. I’ve marched with Asians for Trump; they are gentle people, many of whom have experienced brutality at the hands of the CCP and they loved America. They would never instigate violence or use weapons; that’s why the BLM with the hammer who claimed he needed it “for protection” is an evil liar.

  9. Wow! I am always amazed at the stupidity of Trumpers! Although I am definitely not a member of the jackass party, I can’t help but see that Trump attempted a coup. Had he succeeded neither red or blue parties would be free. Trump doesn’t care for anyone except SOME of the Trump family. I would like to see Trump’s next coup attempt be successful. Then the stupid democrats would see the results of their supposed unifying efforts and the Trumpers would feel the kick in the rear that they are seeking so hard. America would relegate itself to a country ruled by a dictator from which it shall never recover. Only the oligarchs would enjoy their lives while Republicans and Democrats without beaucoup l’argent would fight to live decently. Mais c’est la vie qu’ils meritent!

    1. Your Welcome Frenchy! Your official language would have been GERMAN 2x times if the United States had got involved .

  10. Violent counter Trump protestors are un-American thugs and pigs over and above philosophical political misguidance. Noisy protests are protests but violence means they disrespect the Constitution and American ideals, they want to change not fix which makes them enemies of freedom as much as the European Islamists who chanted “the hell with freedom”. If you don’t remember that Google it.

  11. The only coup that took place was in this past election process including all the events that led up to it. They were never going to let Trump win and there were plenty from the right that were involved in the process that unfolded all because they wanted things to return to the status quo of Washington politics. We had no new military conflicts during the 4 years under Trump and within 2 months of Biden being in office we’ve already bombed Syria and face the threat of sending more US troops into harms way because that is how the Clinton’s, Bush’s, Cheney’s, Biden’s, etc, do things. As they say, the “political royalty.” Trump was pro-America and if you can’t see that, then you’re certainly not looking at all the facts laid before you. What, over the past 4 years, was done under Trump that did not improve your quality of life up until the Chinese virus was unleashed on the world. Whoever Biden’s puppet master is, they care nothing about the pro-American poicies that were put in place under Trump. They simply want to undo everything that he did strictly because he did it. I believe most of his policies were great for our country and pulled us up from a position of weakness. I believe the percentage to be much higher but, lets just say 50% of the policies that were put into place under Trump were for the greater good of all Americans, then why the hell would the Biden administration want to simply sign an executive order to undo all of them…and at the detriment of many working class Americans. Obviously there are many Hispanic, Cuban, Black, Asian, etc who believed in Trump and what he was doing for this country. The facts support this and the facts don’t lie and will stand against the crazed “cancel” culture even. I would say most Trump supporters knew what they were voting on and educated themselves before casting their ballot in November. This can’t be said for the other side. I’ve heard from many people that voted for Biden/Harris say that they voted that way simply because it wasn’t Donald Trump. When asked about the platform that Biden/Harris ran on, most have no clue what they stood for despite both Biden and Harris telling you for months what they were going to do once they were elected. What transpires over the next few months to 4 years should come as no surprise to those who voted for Biden/Harris as they told you what you were getting long before you ever elected them. If you blindly voted for them because you were told to, then I have no sympathy for you and the lesser quality of life that you’re about to endure. As the saying goes, if you helped make the bed, then you better be ready to lay in it because this country is going to get a whole lot worse before we all have a chance to right the wrongs that were put into place this past November.
