In New York, I don't think we have a significant violent right wing contingent. The violence at these sort of things is usually anarchists picking fights with the police and vice versa. That said, I definitely saw a random black kid smash the mirror of a police van, but like what do you even need that many riot police for? I sort of get it for the times I went to protest nazis and there were *two* groups that would inevitably fight, but in this case the only reason there were two parties was because the police decided to show up and be one?
