Conflict erupts between protesters at State Capitol in downtown Phoenix
Conflict erupts between protesters at State Capitol in downtown Phoenix
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- People took to the streets of downtown Phoenix this Fourth of July to fight for various social issues making national headlines recently. The difference in beliefs led to a slight clash in front of the Arizona Capitol between two separate groups.
One march was for Vanessa Guillen, a 20-year-old soldier whose remains were found after she went missing from Fort Hood Texas in April.

Arizona's Family crews were among the crowd and witnessed about 200 people in downtown Phoenix marching for Guillen and protesting against sexual assault victim-hood in the armed forces.
The marchers eventually started heading to the State Capitol, where a First Amendment rally was hosted by Daniel McCarthy for U.S. Senate was taking place, where some President Trump supporters were present. That's where a clash between some people from both events started to occur.
Arizona's Family crews saw individuals from both groups yelling at each other outside the Arizona Capitol parking lot. Some could be heard shouting, "Black Lives Matter," while others were chanting, "All Lives Matter." Some people among both groups were armed with guns.
"These people who were in this park, were just pointing their guns at us. I don't know if they were loaded. I don't know what the intention was," said Amber Fitzpatrick, a volunteer with Black Lives Matter.
"I definitely felt that the safety of individuals, the women, the children, the elderly, the people who weren't armed, I definitely feel like their security was threatened," Matt Papke, who attended the First Amendment Rally.

Why is it that not one of the Republican officeholders objecting to Biden's victory have objected to their own wins on the same day on the same ballots using the same election systems??!

Conflict erupted?
It erupts wherever Dems march to shout about how racist America is. This is news?
