An Antifa leftist shot by police was killed while being armed with a rifle and after throwing fire bombs at a Tacoma, WA ICE detention facility.

I and other DP'ers warned that Antifa leftists were going to escalate their violence which will lead to someone being killed. Not very many DP leftists, if any at all, were willing to condemn Antifa for their violence. Well, someone is now dead.

The left can end this, but they won't.

Why?

You don’t fool us. Get on your super secret phone all you lefties have next to your copy of Rules for Radicals and tell them to knock it off.

Your article said it was suicide by cops. Not sure how you want us to stop that.

I'm pretty sure most DP "leftists" have condemned Antifa's violence. There's probably just a handful of folk who did not.

But I suppose if we're going to start a thread on a lie, we should just go full speed, huh?

Stop supporting Antifa and forcefully condemn them. Ask your gov't reps to have them placed on the domestic terrorist list and have the leaders/member arrested at these protests. Wouldn't that be a good start?

It's not a lie. Most DP leftists are either indifferent or support the violence Antifa doles out.

The vast majority of deaths in the US from terrorists and extremists come from right wing extremists. Why aren't you on here every day condemning them? Because you aren't, you are tacitly responsible for their actions. You could stop right wing extremism at any time.

I've never supported extremist violence and I forcefully condemn it. Now, how does me doing that stop other free human beings from committing extremist acts? Be specific.

Do you consider yourself personally responsible for the majority of extremist crimes which are committed by radical righties, or do you feel individuals are responsible for their own actions?

You think there's a connection between Antifa's leaders, and this guy? That would be an interesting one to see proven.

Yeah...that's the lie though. I've seen most condemn Antifa and their activities. I've seen a few that supported or defended Antifa. But whatever floats the Troll Boat, I guess.

Not always....doing nothing is better than doing something stupid.... In this case I don't know what anyone could have done.

68 year olds usually don't fit the regular demographic of ANTIFA.

Show us some quotes of some "lefties" on DP who advocate radical violence. Shouldn't be hard since you claim most of us do it.

Well it's not zero, I think there may be 2 or so posters who have made comments in defense or deflection of Antifa's violence. So to pull a quote or two may not be too hard. But the real problem is this claim that the majority of "lefties" support or defend Antifa. That's an outright lie.

So, if an anti-fascist is a Leftist, do we agree that Right Wingers are Fascists?

Plenty of us that lean left condemn Antifa, call out their hypocrisy and violence.

Now what do you suggest we do?

With the exception of self-defense, I routinely condemn violence on DP all the time. I don't see very many leftists doing the same. I wonder why? It appears they are in support of their brand of violence, or are indifferent to it. The DP left usually defends Antifa. Sad. But this is the direction the left seems to want the nation to go. Or they try to deflect, change the subject, blame someone other than those responsible. It's the same old story.

How many people need to die until the left is satisfied? Be specific.

That's up to the authorities to investigate.

Ah, deflect from the Antifa violence. Nice. See what I mean? Probably not.

So what you're saying is that you regularly posting on internet forums is keeping right wing violence at bay? If that's the case, why are most terrorist/extremist attacks in the US still right wing extremists? Aren't you doing your part by condemning them on the internet? You're probably one of the people that thinks saying "hearts and prayers" will literally help them in the real world.

If you condemn them all the time, you're living proof that internet condemnation doesn't stop extremist violence.
