Chapter 1628 A strange melee
Why did Xiao Peng say that he did not check the almanac when he went to Toyota Sports Center that day?
Besides the two white missionaries preaching there that day, there was another group of people outside the Toyota Sports Center. Who were they? It was the infamous Antifa!
What is this 'Antifa'?
This is an organization that emerged after Floyd, a black man, was killed by police. They are also well-known as the "extreme left," and they can be seen on TV news in various riots where American protesters clash with police.
Many people mistake those "saints" for extreme left-wingers. That's child's play. They're just "left." Everyone has tendencies, perhaps a little left or a little right, and that doesn't affect their lives. But as long as the word "extreme" is added, whether left or right, it's associated with violence. Antifa is a prime example; they are the epitome of the "extreme left."
The standard equipment of "Antifa" is the black clothes, black hats and black masks that can often be seen in the news. Those who are better equipped are equipped with helmets, goggles, sticks, shields, pepper spray, and backpacks - the Molotov cocktails they use for smashing and looting are all prepared in advance!
In fact, it is rare to see Antifa in Texas.
These "Antifa" groups have been operating in the old Democratic states of the United States for years, while Texas is a long-standing right-wing Republican state. They can't get by here. Generally speaking, if you see someone dressed like this here, you just call the local police station and report them as suspected criminals, and they'll arrest them immediately.
However, it is not known whether the Houston police took the wrong medicine or were too confident, but they actually approved Antifa's request to hold a rally - here, no matter what organization it is, as long as they apply to the police in accordance with normal procedures and then obtain approval from the police, they can legally hold a march.
While they were holding a demonstration here, they happened to see two white missionaries preaching with a white girl.
Although a considerable number of Antifa members are white, what they dislike most are Mormons - this is because about 85% of Mormons are white. They believe this is a manifestation of racial discrimination, so they surrounded the two missionaries, slapped them in the face, smashed their audio equipment, microphones, and burned their "Book of Mormon".
The two poor young missionaries were so scared that they could only tremble - if you watch the news, you will know that the extreme left style is to smash, loot, burn and bully those who are easy to bully.
At this time, the most exciting thing happened: another group of people appeared at the scene!
Texas is a long-standing right-wing state. It is also one of the birthplaces of another organization, the Proud Boys. The people who appeared were members of the Proud Boys.
What about the Proud Boys? They're a far-right group, essentially a collection of white supremacists who band together to stir up trouble. They're essentially all racists, so they've always been considered troublemakers by the police and sworn enemies of Antifa. Because they're also violent and have committed many atrocities, they're often labeled "rat-crossing-the-street" and are often condemned as such. Of course, they were also loyal supporters of Trump back in the day, participating in the storming of the White House and the Capitol.
That day, the Antifa rally was held alongside the Proud Boys. However, Houston police weren't overly aggressive and, to avoid conflict, moved the Proud Boys rally two blocks away, essentially keeping them out of the way. However, a few Proud Boys happened to be buying coffee at the Starbucks at Toyota Sports Center. They happened to see Antifa bullying the two missionaries.
These two are truly mortal enemies!
In any case, in the eyes of both sides, one side is a "traitor" and the other side is a "Nazi", and neither side can tolerate the existence of the other.
Two years ago, a major incident occurred in Portland: the news that a female journalist, Stubb, was bullied and had her car overturned by Antifa members because she was white shocked many. A fierce battle erupted between the Proud Boys and Antifa, involving hundreds of people, culminating in street fires, intrusions into shopping malls, and vandalism. The two sides then clashed again with the riot police, creating a chaotic scene. Hundreds of people were injured and arrested, and countless businesses and vehicles were vandalized and burned.
What happened at the entrance of Toyota Sports Center was similar to what happened later:
The 'Antifa' that came to Texas this time are all 'veterans' who have been on the battlefield for a long time - otherwise they would not dare to come to Texas to cause trouble. But those 'Proud Boys' are not vegetarians either, let alone Texans?
Here, the Proud Boys are considered a paramilitary organization! Not only do people carry guns, but when you see pickup trucks with flags draped on the back, and people wearing body armor and looking like they're ready for battle, you can easily tell they're Proud Boys.
The Proud Boys were furious when they saw Antifa bullying the missionaries: several of them went up and directly clashed with the Antifa people - of course, they were also smarter and sent one person to call for help two blocks away.
Although the few remaining Proud Boys were no pushovers, or else they wouldn't have dared to stay, resorting to pepper spray and gunfire, they were outnumbered and quickly lost the upper hand. They were pinned to the ground and beaten along with the two missionaries.
What? You still can't win with a gun?
Of course, they wouldn't be stupid enough to use real guns, as that would attract the police and put them in a legal dilemma: they used paintball guns for playing real-life CS!
Even though Texans carry guns every day, no one dares to fire the first shot for no reason! The consequences are very serious!
When the reinforcements from the Proud Boys arrived, a melee broke out between the two sides as expected. It was originally fist-to-fist, but no one knew who threw the first Molotov cocktail, and then the scene became chaotic - all kinds of bricks and Molotov cocktails flew everywhere, and the two sides had a big fight in the parking lot of the Toyota Sports Center!
It just so happened that Xiao Peng and his friends' car was parked here. Although they were not affected because the distance was far, they were still shocked when they saw this scene.
The most crucial point is: a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the missionary on the ground, causing him to catch fire.
At this time, saving people was the most important thing, so Xiao Peng led Bruch and Khedira into the battle group to rescue the young missionary first.
And this strange combination...soon became the target of both sides.
