Free speech rally marred by violence as counterprotesters storm event, beat pro-Trump demonstrators
An organizer of the protest had a tooth knocked out By Paul Best | Fox News A rally called to promote free speech and denounce big tech censorship turned ugly Saturday in San Francisco, when hundreds of Antifa counterprotesters showed up and berated and attacked demonstrators, leaving one missing a tooth. The conservative group Team Save America organized the event to protest Twitter, which it argues censors free speech. They planned to rally at United Nations Plaza before moving the protest to Twitter's headquarters a few blocks away. But the event quickly devolved into a shouting match and violence as hundreds of counterprotesters stormed the scene. Video shows one counterprotester punching Philip Anderson, an organizer of the event, knocking one of his teeth out. Anderson posted a picture of the aftermath on social media and said he was attacked by Antifa. "This is what happens when you lose free speech," Anderson said over boos as the crowd threw objects at him. "This is what happens, America. This is what our country is turning into." The event was canceled before it ever really got started. Another protester who was wearing a Trump 2020 shirt was attacked at some point by a counterprotester. The San Francisco Police Department did not respond to a request for comment Saturday. Social media companies have come under fire for alleged censorship recently. Last week, for instance, Twitter put a warning on a tweet from the President that compared coronavirus to the flu, while Facebook removed the post altogether. As of Saturday evening, Twitter had still locked out the New York Post's account for tweeting about their reporting on Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Facebook, meanwhile, said it is reducing distribution of the Post's reporting on its platform. ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |

More like Trump supporters looking for trouble. That's what they do. They are just like the pro Trump asshole is saw hassling Biden supporters yesterday at the corner of 520. He was walking around putting a video camera in their faces and he wasn't wearing a mask.
------------------------- I was right. |
