2021.01.15;五Jan15th(015):Pro-Trump_and_anti-fascist_demonstrators_clash_in_Pacific Beach_in_SanDiego-LA_Times

About 100 Trump supporters and dozens of counter-demonstrators, some of whom described themselves as anti-fascists, faced off for hours in the heart of Pacific Beach in San Diego on Saturday, with officers trying to keep the opposing groups apart following several skirmishes.
The dueling demonstrations shut down Mission Boulevard near the Crystal Pier. Police declared the gathering unlawful and ordered the crowds to disperse about 2:30 p.m.
Police reported on Twitter that officers had been struck by a glass bottle. Rocks and eggs were also being thrown at police, and pepper spray was being deployed in their direction from the crowd, police said. They did not say who was responsible.
During one confrontation, officers fired what appeared to be pepper ball rounds into the anti-fascist crowd.
By 4:30 p.m., supporters of President Trump reconvened on the boardwalk, and police allowed them to march. The marchers yelled profanities and clashed at times with passersby.
"We will continue to monitor both groups to help facilitate peaceful protests. However, we will not tolerate acts of violence," police tweeted around 5 p.m. "When rocks, bottles, pepper spray and other objects are thrown or used on our officers, actions will be taken against those who commit violent acts."
The unrest began around 1 p.m., when a crowd of Black Lives Matter supporters and anti-fascists, many of them dressed in black and wearing "antifa" T-shirts and hats, gathered at the pier to counter a pro-Trump "Patriot March" planned for 2 p.m. The march had been scheduled long before the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob  Wednesday.
The counter-protesters held signs that denounced Trump, as well as one that said "No Nazis in PB."

Before the Trump event, some counter-demonstrators got in sporadic screaming matches with Trump supporters along the boardwalk. At one point, someone slapped the phone out of the hand of an unidentified man on the boardwalk and pushed forward, knocking him down along with a small boy.
Tempers flared at that moment and some non-protesters on the boardwalk moved toward the group, including a man with a dog on a leash barking at the counter-protesters.
One video posted on Twitter showed a man walk to the anti-fascist side and push down a counter-protester who was writing on the street with chalk. When fellow counter-protesters then confronted the man, officers pulled him away and behind the police line.
Both sides wielded pepper spray, and it was deployed at different times during confrontations.
By midafternoon about 100 Trump supporters had gathered at the corner of Mission and Hornblend.
Lines of officers separated the groups, with some from the anti-fascist demonstrators taunting police with profanities.
Police declared an unlawful assembly about 2:30 p.m. and began asking people to disperse.
"Those who remain or return against this lawful order may be cited/arrested and risk exposure to chemical agents & less-lethal force applications," according to a San Diego Police Department tweet.
The crowds cleared the area by 6 p.m. It was not immediately clear if there were any arrests.
