WASHINGTON, DC – BLM/ANTIFA protesters were marching down New Hampshire Avenue in memory of Treyvon Martin tonight in Washington, D.C.. D.C. police protected diners along the street from possible attacks and things began to escalate after protesters failed to comply with an order to move away. At least BLM/Antifa protester was seen assaulting a police officer asking them to move back. The group marched through the Dupont Circle neighborhood Saturday evening.
“Burn it down,” they chant.
