Fox40: SAProject 'Stop SA Genocide' Protest: Occupy Oakland Assault 2 Police & SAP-CA (01:57) |
SACRAMENTO—Two CHP officers were hurt by protesters at competing rallies at the State Capitol Monday that started with a Neo-Nazi event.
Extra CHP and Sacramento Police officers were called in to separate the two groups, who are getting louder and more violent toward each other.
A group of self-proclaimed white supremacists organized a nationwide protest Monday for part of an effort they call the “South Africa Project.” According to the project’s website, www.southafricaproject.info, they want to stop the alleged “genocide of whites” in South Africa.
The group includes various white supremacist, Neo-Nazi and Klan organizations in Northern California.
A crew from FOX40 was at the capitol when a group of protesters from Occupy Oakland joined the anti-Neo-Nazi demonstration, increasing the group’s size to about 100.
There were between 40-50 Neo-Nazi demonstrators. They tried to leave the Capitol just after 3 p.m., and cops tried to clear a path for them to a parking garage nearby. As the group walked to their cars, cops stood between them and the anti-Neo-Nazi demonstrators. As the Neo-Nazi group walked by, the other protesters threw rocks and paint balls at them, hitting some of the officers in the middle.

By the time the group dispersed about an hour later, three protesters were taken into custody and two officers were hurt. No word on how many officers had been hit by paint balls or rocks.
It was not immediately clear why Occupy Oakland was demonstrating against the “South Africa Project” group. There was nothing about Monday’s demonstration in Sacramento on Occupy Oakland’s website, and no mention on their Twitter account.
Sacramento Police say as of 4:36 p.m., the affected streets have reopened and the protestors have left.
A total of three demonstrators were arrested.

Officers hurt in Occupy clash at Calif. Capitol
February 27, 2012 | Don Thompson, Associated Press
At least two law enforcement officers were injured Monday during a clash with members of the Occupy movement who were at the state Capitol to counter a rally by a group protesting violence by blacks against whites in South Africa.
The clash erupted in the afternoon as California Highway Patrol and Sacramento police officers were escorting about 35 members of the South Africa Project to a parking garage after their protest outside the Capitol building.
About 50 members of Occupy Oakland began throwing cans and bottles at the South Africa group and at the officers. The Occupy members then clashed with the officers as people with the pro-whites group hurried into the parking garage.
“It was the activists across the street engaging the officers,’’ said CHP officer Sean Kennedy.
Two officers suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital. CHP Capt. Andy Menard said one officer who was struck in the face by an object was released from the hospital. The second officer was getting X-rays after apprehending a person suspected of throwing objects, Menard said.
Kennedy said the officer who was struck by an object was showing signs of possibly being affected by some type of chemical or pepper spray.
The CHP arrested three members of the Occupy group on suspicion of disobeying an officer.
The violence abated after a large contingent of law enforcement arrived at the scene, about a block from the Capitol.
The clash followed a tense afternoon during which peace officers kept the two groups separated outside the Capitol.
Members of the South Africa Project were trying to draw attention to what they said is black-on-white violence in that country. Organizers said similar demonstrations were planned in other states and elsewhere in California.
The group was mostly male and white, some with shaved heads and prominent tattoos.
Many of the Occupy protesters, some wearing hoods or masks, said they came from the San Francisco Bay area to counter what they called a racist group affiliated with former Louisiana Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
Morris Gulett, a spokeman for the South Africa Project, called the clash in Sacramento unfortunate.
“It’s not surprising that the counter-protesters got in the way of the peaceful march we wanted it to be,’’ Gulett said. “Our intention was to conduct a peaceful march.’’
Occupy protesters had been cursing at the South Africa Project rally and at officers keeping the two sides apart.
Ryan Stark, 26, who said he is part of Occupy Sacramento, said he joined the protesters challenging the South Africa Project protesters because there needed to be a showdown.
“I didn’t throw anything … but these sorts of demonstrations need to happen,’’ he said, referring to the counter protest. “They do have the right to say what they want, but we’re not going to let it fly.’’
The public was being kept away from the scene of the confrontation by police officers, who were not commenting to reporters. The city’s light rail system was stopped through the section of downtown where the clash occurred, and commuters were not allowed to leave the area.
Earlier in the day, a 17-year-old girl with Occupy Oakland was taken to Juvenile Hall after she became combative and assaulted an officer who asked her to pick up litter, Kennedy said.

27 February 2012: SA Project to host “STOP the Boer GeNOcide!” Protest Vigils at 13 US State Capitals
South Africa Project | White Refugee: Andrea Muhrrteyn | 14 February 2012
The South Africa Project -- a coalition of concerned citizens -- are holding their first Rally to protest South African Boer Genocide in the states of: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas; on 27 February 2012.
The SA Project Mission Statement:There will be an awareness march held on February 27, 2012 to arouse the attention of mainstream media to the rapes, murders and other horrendous ATROCITIES our brethren in South Africa endure on a DAILY BASIS!
These horrible black on white racist crimes are widespread, yet mainstream media blatantly chooses to ignore it! Global blackout from the media of the armed black gangs backed by the Marxist South-African government - they turn a blind eye to the TORTURE AND MURDER of innocent little children...chopped up and mutilated for no other reason than that they are White. The elderly are beaten, raped, humiliated, and murdered by these same monsters!
The ANC Youth Group Leader, Julius Malema, was found guilty of hate speech for singing the apartheid-era song, Shoot the Boer. However, the judge said that if Malema "sings it in the future, he faces criminal charges and a potential prison spell." Malema paid a fine. A slap on the wrist. A slap in the face of our White brethren who must endure the crimes as a result of his song!!
According to Genocide Watch, South Africa is at Stage 6 Genocide, which is the phase called “Preparation.” Actual Genocide is Stage 7! If we don’t step up and do something NOW, our White brethren in South Africa will no longer exist. Put yourself in their horror: “It is terrifying to wake up in the night, listening to every sound outside your home, wondering if you are safe…if your children are safe, especially if they are not home with you. It is even more terrifying to wake up with 5 men standing next to your bed, pointing their guns into your face, and your eleven year old daughter walks into the bedroom.”
If the United States is so adament about sending funds to places like Haiti and Zimbabwe, why won't they do anything for the White Boers in South Africa?
We believe we can make a difference! Help us in helping our brethren’s voices be heard!!
This is not about group affiliation – no group flags, symbols of any kind or uniforms should be worn. We simply want to get the message out to the media and elected officials – without anyone spewing “hate rally” – that the South African Boers (farmers), our White brethren, need our help NOW!
