Dealing with anti-fascist protesters, Italian style
Italian police violently clashed with “anti-fascist protesters” in the Italian town of Modena Friday.
According to RT, the anti-fascists were preparing to “disrupt” a rally organized by a far-right group called “Defend Modena.” The right-wing group was protesting against Jus soli, a legal principle that allows those born in a country to obtain citizenship to that country.
Video footage from Ruptly captured the moment police and “anti-fascists” start to brawl.
RT reports that up to 300 “anti-fascists and anarchists” attempted to march into the area where the “Defend Modena” was demonstrating, but police blocked their path. The “anti-fascists” then began to throw explosives, smoke pellets, and other objects at police.
Police in riot gear then charged the “anti-fascist” group, beating several of the counter-protesters with batons. Police also used a water cannon to disperse the unruly crowd.
There were no reports of serious injuries, but at least two people were arrested in the clash.

They're not "anti-fascists". They are fascists, plain and simple.
Do not lend credence to their lying bullshit. They are the very thing they claim to be against. Fuckin' ridiculous.

I'm not entirely sure what was going on when the coppers set a scrum on one of those peaceful demonstrators they had on the ground but it made my bones hurt.
I think the Seattle cops are pretty good at this but they are constrained by a pinko city polit-bureau; these Italian guys were awesome.

They throw hand grenades at the police and only get a billy club beat down?
"You can take your pistol and stick it so far up your ass, the muzzle of it is visible when you cough."
(This is Google's translation of "They opened a can of whoop-ass on them." The literal translation is "They opened a can of scream on them," which still works.)

Well, they were Romans, and we saw what happened to those guys. They ended up a bunch of Italians!

I still like the Phoenix PD solution of shooting them in the family jewels with a pepper ball.

"Wop" used to be a derogatory term. Now it's that satisfying sound a baton makes when it clobbers a protestor.
I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.
