Matthew Heimbach, chairman of the Traditionalist Worker Party who did not attend the rally, said his group and the Golden State Skinheads had organized the Sunday rally.

Vice Chairman Matt Parrott, who was not present at the Sacramento rally, said it was a peaceful march and blamed "leftist radicals" for instigating the violence. Heimbach said that in the clash, one of their marchers had been stabbed in the artery and six of the "anti-fascists" had also been stabbed.

"We knew we were outnumbered. We stood our ground. We will be back. This is a victory for us because more of them walked away injured," Heimbach said.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, categorizes the organization as a white nationalist group. Parrott said the Traditionalist Worker Party supports ethnic nationalism, but was not violent nor "a supremacist party."

On its website, the group describes itself this way: “The Traditionalist Worker Party is America’s first political party created by and for working families. Our mission is defending faith, family, and folk against the politicians and oligarchs who are running America into the ground. We intend to achieve that goal by building a nationwide network of grassroots local leaders who will lead Americans toward a peaceful and prosperous future free from economic exploitation, federal tyranny, and anti-Christian degeneracy.”

The rally at the capitol had been planned for some time.

The anti-fascist organization Antifa Sacramento, which had been promoting a "Shut Down Nazi Rally" event today on its website, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The violence came several months after another violent confrontation between members of a Klu Klux Klan group and counter protesters at an Anaheim park.
Ulloa and Myers reported from Sacramento; Reyes and Kim from Los Angeles.

I have to much to say about this to even begin to write about what happened is a feat on my cellphone, so I'll keep it short.

It's really shitty the way this went down and Yvette Felarca and BAMN make the Antifa movement look like a bunch of thugs. they're pretty much giving the TWP and other right wing groups promotional materials to recruit disenfranchized youth and others by the kind of press this is getting.

i just assumed that the people getting stabbed was the protestors, not the nazis... so you're saying it was the other way around?

There were people stabbed on both sides. Mostly protesters were stabbed and we were lucky no one was shot . In the aftermath a 9mm pistol was found.

there probably was no real rally. it was bait for anti fascists to be violent on national TV. If BAMN had been smart they would have just blocked the entrances and baited the nazis into taking the first swing on camera. Instead it was like Lord of the flies.

I know how this sounds, but oh well. I still laughed my ass off when I first read this. Its about all one can do at this point.

Pretty much. It is concerning though when large nationalist movements begin to acquire authority and with it begin to affect others by whatever extremist beliefs they have.
