What Antifa did

Simply put, as with everything you do here at DP, you see exactly what you want to see and will straight-up lie about anything which doesn't fit your preferences.

You people just make it up as you go along I guess. Care to share with us how you gleaned all that from that picture? I mean damn, you're ****ing good. :roll:

There is no proof of the care being attacked before he plowed down people, except that a small plastic water battle was thrown at the car. After the car stopped two sticks broke the rear window. I repeat after the guy mowed down people. Certainly it was an reaction to that. ANd there are photos proving my point. Go look for yourself.
 
Wtf is that old guy doing on the right? Oh wait thats a flower in the foreground.

Glad I saw this, would definitely not want to leave you with crickets...hehe...

I can definitely denounce some of Antifa's methodology in past actions, I think they need to be a lot more disciplined and ensure that they don't create collateral damage in the process of standing against negative societal forces, but directly regarding their actions against the white supremacists, I don't...I think we should all be standing up to them. I'm not sure if that's a compromise that you're willing to accept, but that's the best I've got at the moment.

While I may not agree with your softness on Antifa I do respect your honesty about it.

I would not be surprised if that was true, and it was a panick rather than terrorism, however it changes the motive but even if all court and police evidence shown such, he would be charged instead with involuntary manslaughter, IE even if he was shown no intent to kill anyone, his negligence which was avoidable caused a death.

Cool, man, agree to disagree, I appreciate you being civil about it. As I said, I'm not entirely supportive of Antifa either, I think they've made a ton of mistakes and generally speaking I don't condone criminal behaviour. But I also don't care about what happens to Nazis. Here's hoping they retreat back into their holes as quickly as possible, and we won't have to hear about either faction. Have a good one.
 
Manc Skipper said:
How many Antifa were there? How do you tell them from ordinary antifascist citizens resisting Nazi racists?
Click to expand...

Antifa almost a;lways wears masks to hide their identity due to the fact they were there to commit crimes violence and terrorism, the same way the kkk in the past wore robes and masks, to hide their identity while they broke the law.
 
SheWolf said:
When you have freedom of speech and nazi marches, it's common sense violence will break out unless police officers intervene. And the fact is, people counter protesting nazis are not as bad as nazis.
Click to expand...

That is factually incorrect, unless you believe violence is acceptable against groups with dissenting opinions, and the counter protesters IE antifa specifically have been the instigator of violence for quite a while since trump announced he would run for president.

I denounce Nazis, White Supremacists, and other alt-right extremists, and with the same fervor and conviction I denounce ANTIFA and the alt-left extremists. Both are populated with bad ideas and use bad tactics to promote their bad ideas. I find nothing redeemable about either of them.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

A similar dynamic between similar groups played out in the 1930's between the Red Shirts (Communists) and the Brown Shirts (Nazis) resulting not only in the Red Shirts loosing to the Brown Shirts, but also swinging the sentiment support of the electorate to law and order, which the Brown shirts promised them, hence, making the Brown Shirts even more popular with the electorate, antithetical to the Red Shirts stated goals.

I think Ben has it right on this one.

Shapiro At 'National Review': America Has Twin Cancers, Antifa And The Alt-Right

I further think the each group should be given their rights, and to exercise them, as legally required, but if either steps one toe over the line, even the slightest minuscule legal infraction the perpetrators need to be arrested, charged, held without bail, and tried.

A civilized society has no use for either of them, and has no need for a repeat of WW II.

I thought I would be the only person to point out how the old iron front helped the nazis gain power unwillingly. Truth is had the iron front/later antifa never been violent, nazi germany might never have existed, they created the chaos needed to convince the nazi party was the only answer to stop the violent comunists.

They will go at any lengths to turn this into a political victory... by condoning violence against people they don't agree with, and outright deny it ever happened.

Yeah, like when AntiFa decided to launch an attempt to crash a car into a crowd of people. Oh wait......that was the Neo Nazi terrorists.

Is this serious? There is so much video footage and so many photographs of counterprotestors with weapons and engaging in violence it's shocking anyone would even attempt to deny it.

I sure am sorry your party has become so demented. It's too bad you're in a minority of Liberals with some sense.

The subject was the picture. Was it not? That's my interpretation of what's going on in the picture. But to you it's, "OMG a guy is Pepper Spraying Nazis?? How evil!"

You asked for proof of weapons, I gave you proof.

1. Nazi not listening to chants of go home we don't want you here?

Whether you agree with them or not, the White Supremacists were the only ones with a legal permit to assemble for a demonstration that day. Now if you think they should be denied their right to assemble, because you personally don't like them, I'll quite confidently assume you're more of a fascist loon than they are.

2. One guy armed with a stick.

It's a large pickaxe handle. They're as effective as a baseball bat in a fight. If you had to fight that guy, I'm sure you'd learn its not merely a stick.

3. One guy defending an old man against a horde of nazi cowards

Riiiiight, because it's common to carry a homemade flamethrower around, you know, just in case. As for twisting the truth, how do you know that the black flamethrower was protecting the older gentleman from the Confederate dudes. Prove that before you blab about me being dishonest.

Notice the guy in the black t-shirt that says Milicias. Its a quasi-military organization from the communist party.

I really can't take your posts seriously. The logic is that you don't put rival gang members in the same cell together for a reason. The cops should be ready for a neo nazi rally. They should have been prepared to negate violence. lol

Terrorist, not terrorists. Singular, not plural.

Secondly, Antifa members don't own cars because they work for minimum wage. They'd have to settle for crashing a 10 speed bicycle into a crowd :lol:

1. That's something I think needs to change in this country. I have no idea why these cities are giving out permits to hate groups. We already know what they are going to preach about. Why does it need to be proclaimed in public? Their ideas have not changed.

2. Why would I fight that guy? I'm not a nazi.
