While staying in Rome, Tommy Robinson came across a video of an Italian female reporter covering migrant homelessness for a TV station. Live footage captured her being attacked, and what sounds like an attempted kidnapping. Robinson went down to the area where the attack occurred to see what it's like. Here's the result.

 
After taking time to head on out the "Day off freedom" event. I have to say that I have a newfound respect for the man. Especially after dealing with all of the crap he has been forced to deal with over the years.
 
Tommy Robinson is a far-right thug. I've walked past an EDL protest before and they were all a bunch of tattooed skinheads and football hooligans. His organisation attracted genuine neo-Nazis.
 
Truthatallcost:

The video seems to show that Mr. Robinson attacked the gesticulating migrant at about 3:04 min. It looks like Robinson initiated the assault and not the rather rude and excitable alleged migrant. Mr. Robinson may very well be called to task by Italian authorities and could face either civil or criminal legal action if this video shows the full set of events in this altercation.

Cheers.

"Attacked the 'gesticulating' migrant?" :roll:

That migrant was engaging in death threats and unwanted physical contact, and the act just prior to Mr. Robinson's "attack" was this "rude and excitable alleged migrant" threatening to kill him while approaching him from behind with a raised fist rapidly swinging downward with it.

I don't know about Italian or E.U. law (or what you do up in Canada), but in the USA that is aggravated assault, and no one has to wait until they are actually struck in such circumstances before acting to defend themselves.

Try again.

He's a far right, hardcore racist goon.

I can see why some people would identify with him.

The EDL has courted British Jews and Sikhs to join their ranks, some of who've accepted. They must be the most confused buncha neo Nazis around, openly supporting Jewish and Indian people!

And Antifa attracts fascist, communist, anarchist, terrorist.

All groups have their undesirables.

An anti-fascist group attracts fascists? Whatever you say.

By definition, their actions mark them as fascist. When you use social, political or pressure of violence to keep opinions you do not agree with from being spoken.

You are acting as a fascist.

Their actions in Portland alone are just as good an indicator to how hypocritical they really are.

Captain Adverse:

The event happened in Italy so neither American law nor jurisprudence applies to this case. We shall see what becomes of this altercation when Italian authorities decide what they are going to do with the two men in question. What would happen in America is completely irrelevant to the matter.

Cheers.

Yet they are still using force to suppress other people. They are fascist.

Though if you want I can post the actual definition?
Which still pretty much fits with what their group has been doing.

Say all you want about Tommy, but we can easily see that Antifa is a fascist group.

Given recent events in the EU and not to mention how poorly Tommy is treated by his own people. I can see this being far more troubling for him then the man who attacked him. In fact, I might go so far as to think he would possibly be let off with no trouble on his end.

Twitter has been abuse with this of late and people are calling for Tommy to be incarcerated. While remaining rather quiet about the attacker.

That is not the definition of fascism. Capitalists and communists have also used force to suppress other people.

Provide a link that shows that Antifa are authoritarian nationalists opposed to liberalism and multi-party democracy.

They do not need to be nationalist, because being a nationalist is not indicative of being negative.

The Italians aren't going to prosecute him over this.

At what point do you defend yourself -

A) when a man is shouting in your face that he plans to kill you, or
B) when he's attempting to make good on the threat?

I'd opt for A, as Tommy Robinson did.
 
Robinson (or Stephen Christopher Lennon, as his charge sheet reads) is a fascist racist thug, also known as Paul Harris, or Andrew McMaster. So many pseudonyms...

What on earth are you talking about? They do need to be nationalists (authoritarian nationalists) if they are to be fascists. That is one of the main tenants of fascism.

What actions have they taken that show them to be authoritarian nationalists opposed to liberalism and multi-party democracy (i.e. the main tenants of fascism)?

So the multiple assaults against actual ideologies that they don't agree with isn't enough?
Nor almost the entire breath of their actions here and abroad?

Or are you just hanging up on that they call themselves Antifa?
Because if you are going to be so idiotic as to say that they aren't fascist because of the name alone.

Then you probably believe NRA members don't own pistols.

Whether they do or don't is irrelevant as that is not the definition of fascism. Again, show me evidence that Antifa are right-wing authoritarian nationalists opposed to liberalism and multi-party democracy and I'll reconsider my stance.
