August 1, 2020, La Mesa, California, USA: A participant (left, with US flag) at a Black Lives Matter protest in La Mesa, California defends himself as a counter-protester (right, in black vest), a member of the loosely-organized ‘Defend East County’ group, rushes in after the protester stomped on the flag. There were several instances of one group or the other trying to incite violence.
