Look, it's quite clear who started the brawl (the Trump guy in the blue hat). Take a look at the links I posted upthread.

Don't expect the truth to come from him any more than you expect it to come from the press secretary's podium.

One might get more satisfaction by shouting up a dead horse's arse than arguing with whell.

You guys are hillarious. You've done a scrupulous analysis based on your expert opinions, YET YOU WEREN'T THERE. You've done a nice job of culling "after action" eye-witness quotes....mostly from the Anti-Trump folks (which appear to include some of the "media" types.
Let me simply refer you back to the LA Times article in the OP:
Violence erupted at a Make America Great Again rally in Huntington Beach on Saturday after a protester opposed to President Trump allegedly doused a female organizer of the event with pepper spray, sparking a brawl that ended with several arrests.
A group of flag-waving Trump supporters tackled the man with the pepper spray, who was wearing a black mask, and started punching and kicking him, according to witnesses. Several other fights also broke out between demonstrators.
So, the flash-point, according to the LA Times, was the idiot protester with the pepper spray. Again, why did the guys show up at the beach with pepper spray? Certainly not something most folks bring with them for a day at the beach. Someone else showed up with a Taser. The article doesn't specify who, but again, not something most folks would normally bring to a day at the beach.
Sorry folks. The protesters went to the Trump rally to protest it, and it looks like some of them came expecting to cause trouble. You slice and splice stories and clips all you want, but the facts is the facts.

Neither were you. And then you cite what you routinely call "fake news" to support your story. Can't have it both ways, snowflake.
