As January 6 pardon recipients held a “Protect White Americans” rally at the scene of the stabbing of Austin Metcalf in Frisco, Texas, one counter-protester deployed mace against a man in a MAGA hat and was arrested.
“He threatened me,” she said while taken away.
As the arrested woman was walked away, other demonstrators against the “Protect White Americans” rally demanded her release.
Police arrested a man who allegedly pushed one of the police officers, taking him to the ground.
“Black and white together, we’re standing against black violence against white Americans, it’s very simple,” said rally organizer Jake Lang standing on top of a bus adorned with images of Trump and MLK, alongside his fellow January 6 pardon recipient Phillip Anderson.
“All these people that agree with us are in their cars right now because they don’t want to be seen on camera,” Anderson said.
“I’m tired of anti-white racism,” said Anderson, who is Black. “I’m tired of anti-white violence.”
“That is right!’ proclaimed a man who brought his Confederate and American flags to the event. “That man is telling the truth!”
Police separated protesters who showed up to oppose the “Protect White Americans” rally at Kuykendall Stadium from the attendees.
“Due process,” the mostly-masked counter-protesters chanted. “No lynch mobs!”
“Racists not welcome in Frisco!” one sign read.
“That man wearing that jersey with Anthony’s name on it, is it that Karmelo Anthony scored some kind of point?” Phillip Anderson asked.
While Karmelo Anthony is charged with murdering Austin Metcalf, the man in the jersey retorted “I’m a Nix fan! I’m from New York!”
“Protect White Americans” rally leader Jake Lang demanded that the police remove the man wearing a jersey of the basketball player Carmelo Anthony, who insisted that it was not a reference to murder suspect Karmelo Anthony.
Police obeyed, removing the man from their area.
A man showed up at the “Protest White Americans” rally with a sign reading “Per Capita” claiming to be sponsored by someone called “Aryan Femcel” but told police he identifies with neither side, literally straddling the line.
“I don’t like Jews,” explained the woman he arrived with. “Because they run the world.”
Three masked men wearing Nazi iconography including odal runes, sonnenrads, and “14-88” on a red ball cap showed up at the “Protect White Americans” rally.
“Your momma” one replied when I asked who they are. Police blared car sirens as one threw a Sieg Heil salute, and officers kept media and protesters away from them as they walked away without saying anything else.
Bruce Carter, who launched “Trump for Urban Communities” in 2020, came on behalf of Jeff Metcalf, father of Austin Metcalf, who he got on the phone.
“You are part of the f***ing problem my friend,” Metcalf said, “You are trying to create more race divide.”
“I do not condone anything you do.”
“That’s called white guilt” Lang told him.
“I’ll come to Florida and run for senate and run as a Republican and kick your butt,” Carter said (Lang is running for senate). “This behavior is why we’re in the situation we are.”
As the MAGA bus departed from Kuykendall Stadium and both sides of the “Protect White Americans” rally dispersed, police cracked open some Chick-fil-A to wrap up the afternoon.
