    Later they ran into the proud boys. In the article but being the proud boys were not flash banging little kids I would say they’re on a higher moral ground. ANTIFA is a joke and deserves to be criminally prosecuted. I would be okay with locking up their leaders for the violent acts they commit

    ANTIFA should be prosecuted as terrorists for this.

    Bet they never try that crap where I come from. They'll have all the neighborhood on them like white on rice. Just because we ain't at the church doesn't mean we don't respect those that are. Americans cannot be relying on "The Proud Boys" who live out west somewhere to stop internationally organized ANTIFA who riot in countries worldwide.

    More likely to be hailed as heroes by the liberals or at worst, distanced from being grouped as liberals by liberals.

    Police did not intervene. How can these terrorists get prosecuted if the police find the event not worth intervening to protect law abiding citizens?

    How come antifa never starts crap at a mosque?

    Liberal cities are a breeding ground for hate. And I’ll bet antifa’s Twitter and Facebook accounts are still up and running.

    More violence than what happened on Jan. 6... where's the commission? where's the arrests? where's the solitary confinement for months?

    We have no longer have "Equal Justice Under the Law".

    From the article: "Police officers did not intervene in either confrontation – besides a squad car sounding its siren just feet away."

    I am sure all PDs have been on alert about officers being targeted but I'm unclear on why they didn't call in reinforcements. I wonder who has what to gain in the cops taking a passive role.

    Leftists run those cities. If the police intervene they likely get attack, and not supported by the elected officials, and perhaps fired and sued. Why would a cop in any of those cities intervene? Especially those close to retirement.

    This is Leftist utopia.

    ANTIFA are not, "liberals," any more than Neo-Nazis are, "conservatives." Or do you not, "distance," yourself from them?

    BTW, in case you have, or use, a limited ability to differentiate between groups, ANTIFA is NOT, by any stretch of reality, synonymous with BLM.

    You are right. But Neo-Nazi's are a part of the far right conservative group. And Antifa is a part of the far left progressive group.

    Neo-Nazi's are generally called out by both liberals and conservatives. But at the moment progressives have a strangle hold on the liberal party. And they're NOT calling them out. Nadler, a liberal once upon a time, and presumably still is, said that Antifa is a myth. Liberal media, calls their riots "mostly peaceful". And they, liberals, don't speak out against them. They don't because they are afraid of being cancelled. At least in part. Note that I'm just speaking about the ones that actually have a voice loud enough to be heard. Politicians, media, etc etc. Additionally they have been useful. Remember Pelosi and her "stormtrooper" comment? When all that the federal agents did was protect a federal building. It was nothing more than a way to blame Trump and make him seem far worse than he was. We have dozens or more of posts on this forum with posters saying that Antifa is not real, that they're just a "concept" or whatever.

    I am not sure, exactly, of the incident, or Pelosi quote, of which you speak. I would have guessed any such comment applied to when federal, "law enforcement," was sent in, without uniforms identifying that they were federal forces (dressed all in black, I think), and were reported, & recorded, just grabbing people off the street & throwing them into dark, unmarked vans. It was not known where these citizens were being brought. I am not certain in what city this was, but I think something similar happened, in a couple of places.

    In these cases, the protests were very large, certainly not simply, "AntiFa." So, for me to appreciate your point, you will have to more fully refresh my memory.

    As to ANTIFA and Neo-Nazis: as you know, these groups are legal, as is the KKK. So those calling for a complete outlawing of this leftist group, have a GREAT burden of proof, which they have, IMO, far from satisfied. It is only when any of these groups actually gets involved w/ illegal activity, that law enforcement has the right to step in. I know of no evidence to support the contention that these government agencies are ignoring ANTIFA criminaI behavior; in fact, I find that contention ludicrous.

    While I do not know how many members are in the seemingly very new to the American scene, ANTIFA-- as you, no doubt, are aware, it is the opinion of our FBI, & Department of Homeland Security, that, with no contest, it is from terrorist/violent groups, ON THE RIGHT, that the greatest risks to our safety is posed. If you have different evidence, I encourage you to share it, both for your argument and, more importantly, with the appropriate federal intelligence, & law enforcement agencies.

    No where does the article mention him, no where. Why do you feel the need to be a sympathizer, are you possibly carrying their card next to their water?

    I breifly glanced, are you claiming the video is fake? Asides from your (obviously biased) opinion of him, have any proof? I can read fine, can you? "Additional video" means he is not the only source, in case that was hard for you to understand.

    :rolleyes:

    Violence. The mentality of the loudest wheel gets the grease. The mentality that their goal can only be achieved by the suffrage of the innocent. They’re leaches. Bottom feeders of the same barrel.

    What part of the 'christian worship event' warranted a response from the 'antifascists'? It seems like antifa is getting a bit outside their mission.

    You SAID (and, I quote):

    In case you need reminding -- It was Post #22

    Here is a relevant portion of the linked article:

    The Portland Tribune reported that members of the far-right group, Proud Boys, later descended on the worship event and clashed with the Antifa members. Additional video circulated online by independent journalist Andy Ngo shows the clashes carried onto a nearby city street, and the alleged Proud Boys members, seen dressed in yellow and black garb, fired a paint ball gun at several Antifa members.

    Screenshots shared by Ngo showed that another Antifa-affiliated Twitter account later tweeted that members threw the sound equipment into the Willamette River and stole sandwiches and water bottles belonging to the Christian group – before then giving them back out to the homeless.


    ^That (simply stated) is what is referred to as being OWNED.
    You Were Wrong. Period.

    Trying to backpedal and cover your tracks (by changing the subject) won't cut it.

    In the future, as a friendly suggestion, I would suggest that you read the ENTIRE Article before commenting.

    It is never a good look to be so Aggressively WRONG. :flagus:
