They're Violently Opposed to Violence

James Taranto has a couple of interesting items - events promoting peace which turned violent:

"A group devoted to social tolerance has been accused of being intolerant," reports the Argus of Fremont, Calif.:

The finger-pointing came after an altercation occurred at a meeting for the Fremont Alliance for a Hate-Free Community, where a discussion about hate crimes deteriorated into an ugly incident, witnesses said.

While trying to eject 71-year-old Barbara Marques from the monthly gathering Monday, the Rev. Garnet McClure grabbed and shook the chair in which Marques was sitting, attendee Sharon Giottonini said.

McClure, a female pastor at Fremont Congregational Church, reacted after Marques said the 2002 slaying of transgender teen Gwen Araujo might not be a hate crime, several witnesses said.

A scuffle ensued and McClure continued to pull on Marques' chair, said Giottonini, a member of the alliance and the East Bay Coalition for Border Security, a Fremont anti-illegal-immigration group.

Similarly, in Montreal, "more than a dozen people have been arrested after a demonstration against police brutality turned ugly," the Canadian Press reports:

Montreal police riot squad officers are swooping on demonstrators after they got off a subway in the city's east end and targeted a McDonald's restaurant. After that, other businesses were hit. Several trash fires have been set and one police van has been damaged.

They hate hate, and they're violently opposed to violence!

Those peaceniks can turn on you at any time.
