MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Protesters and people in line to see white nationalist Richard Spencer speak at Michigan State University shouted at one another Monday afternoon, trading profanities.
“Fight for your own people instead of attacking us, how about that? How about go fight for your own people instead of f***ing with us, how about that?” one person in line shouted in response to taunts from a protester.
“You’re outnumbered, motherf***er,” a protester said back.
There are scores of people, some wearing masks, demonstrating outside the MSU pavilion auditorium, where Spencer is giving his speech. Protesters shouted “Nazis, go home,” among other chants.
Officers from multiple departments are out in force, all in riot gear and some on horses. They were quick to get involved as they saw demonstrators approach people attempting to get into the event, working to break up confrontations before they could turn violent.
There were, however, some scuffles in the crowd that ended with officers detaining people.
