    "Heart of Texas, a Russian-controlled Facebook group that promoted Texas secession, announced a rally on May 21, 2016 to 'Stop Islamification of Texas.'

    A separate Russian-sponsored group advertised a 'Save Islamic Knowledge' rally for the same place and time.

    Protesters showed up in downtown Houston. Interactions between the two groups eventually escalated into confrontation.

    Russians managed to pit Texans against each other for the bargain price of $200."
