You guys need to really read up on what Black Bloc is and what they do to otherwise peaceful protests and understand that antifa is not a centrally organized group. It is an idea. We are all antif-fascism no? Would you say you are not anti-fascism, or pro-fascism? Of course not.
There are people in this thread that are woefully uninformed and accepting of black and white answers in a very complex time right now. There are often outside agitatirs and agents provocateurs. It happens from “the left” as well at times but it happens much more from the right just like home grown terrorists are mich more frequently from the position of “the right”.
The night that the police station burned down and the days that followed I said it was boogaloo and other people (many from out of state) that were there just to stir up trouble to turn the movement upside down. I knew this because I used to live there and I know people that still live there and were at the scene and saw these people roaming throufh thwir neighborhoods.
speaking of black and white.
You can make up shit and proclaim it as fact, but it doesn't make it so.

This analysis makes several arguments. First, far-right terrorism has significantly outpaced terrorism from other types of perpetrators, including from far-left networks and individuals inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Right-wing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years. Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020. Second, terrorism in the United States will likely increase over the next year in response to several factors.

They did neglect to credit antifa with a kill. I'm sure his loss mattered to him and his family. Not that you care. Just saying Antifa is guilty of assassinating a fellow american and injuring countless police officers by throwing bricks, rocks, fireworks, and shining infra red light in their eyes. Destroying public and personal property. Antifa clearly are not good people. Neither are nazis.

Id, I think you missed that part about that article being written prior to the death in Portland, so they couldnt have written about it since it hadnt happened yet.

Oops, you're correct, I did miss that point. I didn't care for the snide comment by MB as if I was pushing back to support the Nazis, rather was pushing back to illustrate that antifa are not a violence free organization. Apologies to MB for responding before reading full post.
So antifa is just an idea. BLM protests are "mostly" peaceful. And neither have lead to the loss of life.
What is 3 lies that the leftist believe, Alex. Numerous people have died in the BLM/Antifa/Chaz chaos. Just because no one will step up to name them doesn't mean they didn't happen.
David Dorn, Portland assassin, Denver. And there have been numerous other attempts, but luckily, many of them are pretty poor shots.
