The Modesto Bee, reported that other groups were protesting across the street from each other simultaneously. “The Central Valley Militia organized a “Patriots Against Pedophilia” rally at the same time as Grundmann’s event. They were joined by members of the California State Militia, as well as the Central Valley Proud Boys. 

A California State Militia member who identified himself as Piper, because he smokes a pipe, said they came to be part of the anti-human trafficking protest.

“We heard there might be a disruption, so we came out so there wouldn’t be a problem,” he said. “Our group stayed on the sidewalk and didn’t go to the other side because we don’t brawl.”

The first punch appears to have been thrown by a large man in a white tee shirt and an American flag neck-gaitor who was confronted by a group of black-bloc-clad Antifa thugs. This was little more than a slap-fight for a scant few seconds. But it escalated quickly.
