Several politically motivated attacks have flown under the radar, from disruptions at vigils for Charlie Kirk to a shooting at a local ABC News station after the firing of Jimmy Kimmel.
Two people were arrested Thursday after allegedly disrupting a Massachusetts vigil held for Kirk, Boston.com reported. The protesters included individuals affiliated with Antifa, which President Donald Trump recently declared a terrorist organization.
One of the instigators was a minor who was arrested on suspicion of assault and battery, according to the outlet. Police said the suspect allegedly punched someone wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, Fox Digital reported. Law enforcement said he was carrying a knife and will charged with possession of a dangerous weapon.
Another assault took place during a Sunday vigil at a Florida retirement community when a 56-year-old protester allegedly shoved a 73-year-old after a brief confrontation, according to Fox Orlando.
“I walked towards her and I said, ‘You’re not coming up here, you need to get out of here,’ and she just pushed me like that and I fell back, head hit the concrete,” co-founder of the community’s MAGA Club, Valerie Jamieson, told Fox.
“I was so angry,” she said.
A gunman shot and killed a man at a New Hampshire country club Saturday, and a witness claimed the alleged shooter shouted “Free Palestine.”
New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said in a Sunday press conference there is no evidence the alleged shooter — a former employee at the facility — was acting with “a hate-based motivation.”
Italy was recently embroiled in violent and disorderly pro-Palestine protests, leading to several arrests.
Protests escalated into riots and physical confrontations with police Sunday after Italy said it would not side with other European governments in recognizing statehood for Palestine, according to The Guardian.
A 64-year-old man was arrested Friday for allegedly shooting at the local ABC10 news station in Sacramento Friday. The shooting occurred a day after people protested outside the office over ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air for comments he made following Kirk’s death. Disney announced Monday that Kimmel’s show will return to ABC, CNBC reported.
Police are still investigating the shooter’s motive.
Authorities found notes in the alleged shooter’s car containing messages critical of Trump’s administration, The Associated Press reported. Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho said the suspect had a calendar reminder on his fridge for the day of the shooting that read, “Do the next scary thing,” according to the outlet.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement Wednesday calling for the media and the far-left to stop the demonization of law enforcement.
The statement listed several instances of violence directed at DHS in recent months, in addition to examples of “hateful rhetoric” that “is inspiring political violence in our country.”
A few examples from August and early September included bomb threats, riots, assaults and one instance where a woman allegedly tried to run over a Border Patrol agent who was arresting illegal aliens in Maine.
“Following the evil act of political violence in the country this week and two brutal assaults on our brave ICE law enforcement last week, we are once again calling on the media and the far left to stop the hateful rhetoric directed at President Trump, those who support him and our brave DHS law enforcement,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated in the press release.
“This demonization is inspiring violence across the country. Our ICE officers are facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults against them. We have to turn down the temperature before someone else is killed. This violence must end,” she continued.
