Hoffman notes that only one UW Police officer was in the area when this scuffle broke out between isolated members of each group. The clash occurred as Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA spoke on campus. Kirk is a conservative political speaker. Kirk’s event on the UW campus drew a sizeable crowd as Palestinian activists at the quad continued their occupied protest that started a little over two weeks ago.
KOMO 4 News reports that one of their TV cameras was spray painted by a black-clad activist on the scene as the photographer attempted to move closer to the combatants depicted above when the fight initiated. That video is embedded below.
