A shocking video posted on YouTube claims to show members of the Bloods street gang attacking white Klan members in Columbia, South Carolina on Saturday.
The video was posted by a rapper named V. Aura, who also posted it on Twitter and Instagram.
Breitbart News reportedly exclusively weeks ago that trouble was brewing after black supremacist groups planned to rally in South Carolina’s capitol after a KKK affiliate announced a pro-Confederate flag rally.
With police officers watching from nearby rooftops and a din of racial slurs heard on the pavement below, members of the Ku Klux Klan and the New Black Panther Party appeared at dueling rallies outside the South Carolina State House on Saturday, eight days after officials here removed the Confederate battle flag from the Capitol grounds.
Despite sporadic scuffles and hours of inflammatory rhetoric from white and black demonstrators alike, the authorities largely maintained order and prevented any significant violence. The police made five arrests, and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety estimated that the State House crowd, including onlookers, had at one point swelled to about 2,000 people. They chanted — or at least heard — volleys of incendiary speech and shouts of “white power!” and “black power!”
