    Found this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Iun_Sl_cjs

    Haven’t gotten the chance to watch it all yet but the alleged assault appears to occur 30 seconds in. The coverage of this is seemingly biased is one of two directions. The camera work doesn’t exactly show the event well. It seems the dude in the kettle helm approaches with something black and vaguely pistol shaped (it looks like a flare gun) then is sprayed with OC spray by Leif.

    For anyone to lazy to watch I can at least confirm that some of the people did seem to actually be nazis, flying swastika flags and everything.

      As I suspected, this doesn’t seem like a case of a guy who did nothing wrong but got charges anyway. For those who didn’t watch, His self defense was done behind a line of police officers separating the two groups.one of the nazis seemed to have a small pistol but it wasn’t used or possibly even noticed by anyone but the camera person. Not even sure why he took it out with that many cops around. The whole thing is stupid.thanks for the video though, it was illuminating.
