Guy arrested today for SPITTING on Jason Kessler. Contrast this to only 4 arrests yesterday!!

Spitting - oh - I see, that is worthy of an arrest, but not violence that hurts people.

This was messed-up yesterday! Clearly, the cops were on the side of Nazis yesterday. Institutional racism is alive and well.

We should be calling for the police to act yesterday. But spitting on someone is not acceptable no matter how hateful they are.

Nonviolence is the key to success.
As Martin Luther King advocated.
