The fight involving GOP candidate Donnie Palmer began as an intense discussion

Based on sources, the incident occurred outside the political event at around 4 pm. Authorities revealed that witnesses have testified that there was a verbal altercation between two members of the protest and four other males outside the event. What began as an intense discussion later ended in a fistfight. Grace Munns, a spokesperson for the City of Somerville, reported that the two men were detained by the police authorities. They are identified as Foster Starkes and Andwain Coleman. Shawn Nelson was confirmed as the third person to be brutally beaten up and later driven to the local hospital.

One depicts the beginning of the fight seconds before a barrage of blows. The other includes visuals of numerous individuals punching one another. The clip also sees a glimpse of a person attempting to lift one man off another before it concludes with a shot of a man on the ground who appears to be injured. Reportedly, Palmer also revealed to sources that he entered the altercation to prevent the assailants from injuring bystanders. He said: “Violence is never the answer, but it seems to be the first resort for radical progressives whenever they seek to silence Black Republicans." In a statement provided to the Boston Globe on Sunday afternoon, Palmer, a black Republican, claimed that "radical progressives" are using violence to suppress black Republicans who "dare to 'step out of line' and question their far-left agenda."
