Another form of white supremacy. Standing on black bodies to get a few thrills. https://twitter.com/biden_brigade/status/1266673677078274048 …

A group of white people  showed up in Oakland armed with hammers and started destroying shit as people of color looked on confused and asked why they're tearing shit up.

Probably Proud Boys pretending to be Antifa.  You can tell because they aren't interested in talking to the other protesters.

These guys remind me of "A Clockwork Orange," which is terrifying.

1. This shit should be exposed.

It's your side doing it...

18. indeed. these white supremacists are using the George Floyd protests as "cover" for their nefarious

actions to sow division and deem black/brown ppl as the destroyers of communities.

3. SMH....

We still have to remember, though, that NONE of this would have happened if that those racist cops would not have murdered those Black people.

Are people on the wrong side instigating this stuff, yes. That's the very nature of chaos, though.


We need to get to the core of the problem, and our silence probably won't save us this time.

7. the real story behind the violence

...outside agitators have been at almost every significant uprising, often the police, themselves, enmeshed with the crowds.

@D4Commish
People have come from outside of our community and or state to wreak havoc and take advantage of our pain and burn us to the ground. Protests aren't always peaceful, but last night was not protest. Last night was tactical and methodical destruction carried out by outsiders.

10. There's a wink and a nod from the White House.

They love this stuff. Civil unrest is their ticket to martial law, and the nullification of the coming elections. So they're silently approving of the agent provocateurs' violence that they can then attribute to minority protestors. It's been done before. Many times before.

Trumpy's INTENT is to foment violent outbreaks. Remember, Trumpy's strength is CHAOS. He knows chaos like nobody else does. Violence is his Trump card. He'll go balls to the wall to turn the nation into a war zone.

Where's the GOP? Where are the GOP voices of moderation? HELLO???

Oh, I get it. The Republican Party approves of Trumpy's tactics AND his strategy. THEY also want civil unrest. They also are fine with more death. Under Trumpy, THAT'S WHO THEY ARE.

13. Are they on the Trump/Russia/Roger Stone payroll?

And with Barr as the head of the DoJ they are protected too. This is beyond crazy.
This is right out of Hitler's Reichstag Fire.

16. On CNN, Wolf Blitzer is expressing shock that there could be agent provocateurs at protests.

He’s on live on CNN right now and he’s been acting shocked that there could be agent provocateurs from outside of the cities where there are protests. He’s just pushing the RW/GOP line that it’s the fault of scary black people.

17. EVERY protest here in the bay area

these same assholes try to turn violent. I had the pleasure of watching the organizers of a protest shut them down once. I am not sure if they are genuine agents provocateurs or just punks who like to smash shit, or some combination thereof.

AG Barr just talked about these white instigators and how it is a federal crime to cross state lines for the purpose of rioting or causing riots. He specifically called out ANTIFA.  Suck it DUmmies.

So much DU-stupidity ...

Ummm... not talking to other people would be typical ANTIFA behavior, probably since they want to remain unidentified, and perhaps also because the average ANTIFA member seems to have a vocabulary of about 4 words.

There once was a time on DU when threads like this would get shipped off to the Creative Speculation Forum because they were too embarrassed to let them see the light of day. Now, it *is* the Dem party.

Or blue city mayors and blue state governors will declare it is too violent to go to the polls in person and the only safe way to vote is by mail.
