VIDEO: Denver Protesters Targeted With Glass Bottles and Hate Speech
A disturbing incident in Denver has gone viral after three women protesting mass raids and deportations were harassed and attacked with glass bottles and Nazi salutes.
On Saturday, February 8, Ellie, Ruby, and Aileen were walking down Lincoln Street toward a demonstration at the State Capitol Building, carrying signs with messages like “Deport racists” and “Immigrants make America great.”
As they passed between 10th and 11th avenues, two men in a truck began shouting “white power,” “Nazi power,” and other slurs. The women started recording as the truck drove backward down the one-way street toward them.
The video captures the front-seat passenger flipping them off before throwing a glass bottle out the window, which shattered in the street. Moments later, he threw another bottle, which broke at their feet.
The truck then sped away, with the passenger yelling an obscenity and making a Nazi salute out the window.
No arrests have been made, but the footage has sparked widespread outrage on social media. Denver authorities are investigating the incident.
