[DailyMail] - Antifascist protesters gathered in cities in New York, California, Washington, Florida and elsewhere Sunday
- In Seattle, people angry that they were blocked from counter-protesting a pro-Trump rally faced off with cops
- They sprayed them with Silly String - resulting in police deploying flashbang grenades and pepper spray
- They were inspired by the shocking violence seen during protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday
- Some on Sunday had gathered in support of those hurt; others protested alleged government complicity
- Many were upset about Donald Trump's lackluster response in which he blamed both sides of the protest
