Antifa
Is Antifa real? Have you ever met anyone affiliated with them? Why do we never see interviews with them? Why aren't they active on here and resistance Twitter?
I truly believe there are small groups of people paid to act violent for media coverage.

3. The

vast majority of antifa are just normal people who gather locally in reaction to fascists. The guys who show up in black bloc are by far the exception, but yeah they do exist.

Let's be real though. the "acts of violence" we see attributed to Antifa are usually brought on by the fascist groups and usually by literally attacking them and then filming them defending themselves and posting it to twitter.

Follow Robert Evans @iwriteok. He does a great job of covering this stuff.

5. I wasn't worried about them. Trump flashed a WP sign tonight

timed to the word Antifa and I was curious about them. There are times wonder, if they aren't just a Fox news boogey man.

LOL, no they are not mostly normal people; They are typically upper class, drug-addled, cowardly, civically and historically illiterate losers with no particular purpose in life who instigate fights with "fascists", frequently old people and journalists. As for actual quasi-fascists in the government, at Google, etc., they have nothing bad to say.

When you show up with shields, helmets and batons while wearing masks and are not the police then you are spoiling for a fight and not "non-violent".

When you threaten and vandalize businesses who won't display your flag and denounce certain political events, you are definitely not "non-violent".

Despite their name, antifa are fascists. It's the one thing about them that's abundantly clear.

Ask Andy Ngo if ANTIFA is real.

Where are all these right wing white supremists when you really need them? :thatsright:

I would like to see them bring back the water cannons and dogs to clean up the streets and arrest and prosecute these punks.

What bothers me--and it bothers me about other sorts of professional protestors--is that none of them seem to be employed, none of them seem to be working for a living.

I suspect the vast majority of them live off of student loans, food stamps, disability, other social services.

These are definitely not people who have jobs.

Nope, this is exactly what fine upstanding pillars of society would do:

Correct. The last 2 letters in antifa stand for First Amendment, not fascism.

Ha, great minds...

Speaking of leftist faux outrage, Ben Shapiro is speaking at Stanford tonight.  The lefty goons had the audacity to post fliers declaring Shapiro a white supremacist Nazi.  Typical brownshirt behavior.

Not surprised by it.
