Antifa

[Syncro]

It's one thing to claim I'm wrong, fine, but provide an argument.

I have given real examples, I don't even need to make an argument. I have lived in the chaos they create.

You choose to dismiss it because it doesn't really have an effect on you. It's entirely your prerogative if you choose to wait for them to be a "critical or massive threat" before recognizing what they're actually doing.

Nobody is claiming Antifa is building an army to stage a revolution. I'm telling you it's a far bigger problem than you seem to believe.

[cincydawg]

Yeah, you're telling me, I get that, but not with data.

Outside Portland or Berkeley they seem almost inconsequential, a ruckus here, some windows there ...

What is the most consequential bad thing they have done outside Portland or Berkeley?  I don't mean some lone guy claiming to be Antifa, I mean the organization or whatever it is itself.  A few protests that got out of hand?  Wiki even lists something around here at Stone Mountain, it was a complete NOTHING, a march through the town by mostly black folks, nothing happened.

That's what I don't see.

For starters forgot they were at Charlottesville ?

[cincydawg]

And what did they do there?  Some minor rioting?  A few busted heads?  

That's my point.  Have they blown up something critical?  Killed a lot of people?  Killed anyone?  Done any serious damage outside Portland?

Charlottesville is an great example of my point here.  They get together and cause a bit of a ruckus, perhaps, and then nothing.

They have had Dynamite ,a satchel full confiscated on the streets of Portland and Multiple Guns and Weapons.
If any other " Gang" of people were walking around with that much ability to do harm would you just simply dismiss them.? 
Best thing for them and us is now they are under the spotlight and any wrong move at this time will bring intense scrutiny and probably eventually get them labeled a terrorist group. 
One of their members or wannabes will do something extremely wrong soon or later besides Brain Hemorraging
a innocent bystander.

antifa shuts down conservative event in New Jersey.


https://www.inquirer.com/news/new-jersey...90820.html

Following a social media firestorm and threatened protests, the Broadway Theatre in Pitman has canceled a controversial event about race relations that its organizers said was aimed at “combating racism, violence, and authoritarianism.”
The one-day conference, sponsored by Minds.com, a cryptocurrency social networking site, had been scheduled for Aug. 31 at the nearly century-old theater, where Bob Hope and Bing Crosby once played. The lineup included 20 speakers, most of them white, and organizers said it was designed “to bring together a diverse group of people with differing viewpoints.” An after-party was also planned at another venue. The event organizers said they hope to hold the forum at another location in the region.

In recent days, controversy surrounding the event escalated, and its planners said they had received threats of violence from anti-fascist protesters known as antifa. No Hate NJ launched a telephone and social media campaign urging the theater to cancel the event. The venueâ€s Twitter account was hacked for several hours Friday and a message was posted that it had been taken over. A theater official said Tuesday it was not known who was responsible for the hacking.

Yeah, looks to me like wannabes who manage to do a bit in Portland and not much anywhere else of note.

Long on talk and threats and decidedly short on actions.  Oh, were they the guys that drove that car into a crowd in VA?

Your posts are getting silly.

[cincydawg]

Well, I'll let y'all fret about Antifa while I deal with FACTS.

[sparky454]

You don't choose truth over facts? 

[Syncro]

Thus far youâ€ve offered your opinion, nothing more

The "examples" of bad acts by Antifa are really quite hilarious to me.  Trivial stuff some incels in their mom's basement could manage.

AND that is my point.

Keep providing "examples" of their heinous and highly dangerous activities.  Oh my, the stopped some conservative conference.  Oh my.

These are inept goofs in the main.  Let me know when they manage to do something really serious.

Tell that to the universities that have to invest thousands of dollars in security to protect conservative speakers.

[cincydawg]

Wow, having to provide some security,  Well that swings it.

You guys are making my point for me.
