Antifa-Proud Boys confrontation in Portland turns violent; conservative writer injured

i don't support violence. i support voting. when i say "**** all nazi scum," i generally mean that i want to see them forced by society to crawl back under their rocks in shame like the slimy cockroaches that they are. i don't have any plans to punch one of those worthless scumbags, though, or anyone else, for that matter.

The thing is, I really just can't get worked up about Antifa. And why should I? They haven't killed anybody (knock on wood), whereas White Supremacist groups are responsible for the majority of domestic terrorist attacks that actually result in death.

Are Antifa unpleasant human beings? Certainly. But if you were to ask me which group I fear, you're basically asking me to choose between the group that regularly murders people and the group that's going to throw eggs at my house or key my car or something. The choice really isn't that difficult.

Why can't you loath both groups like normal people do. A pox on both groups. They are both bad for America.

And anyone that doesn't dance to your tune is nazi scum. Right?

"They may be violent, but mostly in response." Wow what an endorsement of violence.

Anti-racist, but hate Muslims.

What marvels of equivocation.

Don't know about you, but if someone were being violent to me, I very well would react similarly.

Next I said anti islam. Not a race. Try again, maybe.

So, journalist are fair game as long as they are professed Conservatives eh? Nice...

I think journalists who are apologists for the Proud Boys are fair game. I thought you guys didn't like people who pretended ti be journalists but pushed a politucal agenda. I guess it's ok with you though.. .unless it's a liberal agenda. Then it's fine to cry about it.

Do you think he was participating in the fight?

The point was, how would anyone know? How would you kniw he's a journalist and not a Proud Boy?
 
What can I say . . . Two groups of thugs and losers go after each other. Pieces of ****, the whole lot of them.

Well, we've seen it often enough here on this board - for the left the motto is: If you're not with me, you're against me.

I thought that was the right wing motto.

Let me make this clear...I do NOT support the Proud Boys, or what they claim are their values...With that said I am posting this because a Conservative writer/blogger was attacked by AntiFa during this latest riot in Portland...If this had been reversed and members of the Proud Boys had attacked a liberal journalist covering this, then not only would the left in here gone total ape ****, generalizing every conservative, or republican as a supporter of the violence that happened, but calling them responsible for the reporter's injury...I won't do that....I know that many on the left in here don't support AntiFa's leftist fascist action, just as myself and others on the right don't support Proud Boys....But, here is the opportunity for those on the left and right to denounce this violence. Let's see who are the rational members, and who can't resist the attack....

Good luck with that.

Plus they’re more aligned with your political perspective so, of course, anything they do just isn’t a problem. :roll:

Your ad hom is unwarranted and irrational.

Consider this for yourself: You unwittingly or unwisely earn the hatred of the White Supremacists or Antifa. Which group would you prefer to have to deal with?

a) The group that's responsible for the largest numbers of domestic terrorist attacks that result in death, or
b) The group that has thus far not actually killed anyone (again, knock on wood) but will probably egg your house and spray graffiti on your driveway.

I'll take any evasion of that question as a de facto selection of choice b.

I am in favor of anyone who attacks proudboys, even if they are tankies with questionable hygiene.

Why do make **** like that up? If you are that incapable of honest discussion, go pollute some other site with your garbage.

True.
What did either group hope to accomplish?
If they wanted to fight then why announce it was going to happen?

If either really wanted to fight they could have notified the other to meet them out far away in the sticks. Then they could have fought till the last man standing.
But no they announce their plans knowing good and well the police will be there to make certain the fight doesn't get out of hand. AND there will be photographers there to get some great pics of them throwing punches in the air.


If these two groups feel so bullet proof then why not go take on some MS-13 boys. That would be a video worth watching.
