Political Confrontation Leading to Street Fight
Political confrontations are one of the major causes of the street fighting. A political street fight is a physical confrontation between followers of conflicting political organizations or ideas, which takes place in public. They are usually unorganized or semi-organized and are either completely spontaneous or result from conflict between rival demonstrations and counter-demonstrations.
You know, there were several such streets fights in the 1930s between the supporters of fascists and anti-fascists. One such example is The Battle of Cable Street that occurred in the East End of London in 1936 when Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists attempted to march through a Jewish district of London and was stopped by large crowds of Jews and leftists.
One similar fight occurred when in 1933, called the Christie Pit Riot in 1933, it broke out during a baseball game in a public park when an anti-Semitic youth group unfurled a swastika banner at a game between a Jewish team and a Christian team. In fact prior to Hitler’s power in Germany, street fights between Nazis and Communists were quite common.
Even in modern times street fighting has resulted from major confrontations between thousands of police and protesters, particularly at anti-globalization protests such as in Seattle in 1999 or Genoa and Quebec City in 2001. These may involve police use of tear gas, pepper spray and even rubber bullets, and protesters who throw rocks, vandalise automobiles and property, loot, commit arson, set up and tear down barricades. Physical violence on all sides is common.
