Oh...and that would be Obama's FBI and Homeland Security.

Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” according to interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by POLITICO.

Since well before the Aug. 12 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, turned deadly, DHS has been issuing warnings about the growing likelihood of lethal violence between the left-wing anarchists and right-wing white supremacist and nationalist groups.

Previously unreported documents disclose that by April 2016, authorities believed that “anarchist extremists” were the primary instigators of violence at public rallies against a range of targets. They were blamed by authorities for attacks on the police, government and political institutions, along with symbols of “the capitalist system,” racism, social injustice and fascism, according to a confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI.

FBI, Homeland Security warn of more ‘antifa’ attacks - POLITICO

The rest of this article can safely be ignored because, as we all know, Politico wouldn't BE Politico if they didn't try to spin this against Trump.

The important points and questions:

Antifa has been considered domestic terrorists...yet have been allowed, by the Feds and local LE, to act at will. Will this change? Will they continue to tolerate these terrorist thugs?

The Mainstream Media has been minimizing the dangers of that group. Will they now change their tune?

The Obama administration kept this information from the public, at least, and probably from LE. Does anyone think that is acceptable?


And, finally, for all you fellow forum members...those who have downplayed or supported antifa's violent, unacceptable behavior...now that you have OBAMA'S administration saying these things about them, will you still tolerate them?

Funny thing is that had Obamamoved forcefully against illegal activities by left wing and Black organizations instead of vocalizing right wing and police shooting Blacks, the Democrats would probably be in power.

From the OP / article.

.....law enforcement authorities made clear that Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric and policies — first as a candidate and then as president — helped to create a situation that has escalated so quickly and extensively that they do not have a handle on it......

Should they "continue to tolerate" the KKK and neo-nazi terrorist thugs?

According to Obama's people, that's not the problem with Antifa.

No...I don't think anyone should tolerate the KKK or neo nazis. Neither do I think anyone should take it upon themselves to engage in physical violence with them.

If they are terrorists no, not at all. If they just think and say that the white race should be superior no. One has the freedom to think and say what they wish.
 
I prefer the ARA (Anti-Racist Action Network) to Antifa. They still show up at the Nazi gatherings, but tend to be more peaceful.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...16/who-are-the-antifa/?utm_term=.633afb48b04a

In the United States and Canada, activists of the Anti-Racist Action Network (ARA) doggedly pursued Klansmen, neo-Nazis and other assorted white supremacists from the late 1980s into the 2000s. Their motto was simple but bold: “We go where they go.” If Nazi skinheads handed out leaflets at a punk show in Indiana about how “Hitler was right,” ARA was there to show them the door. If fascists plastered downtown Alberta’s Edmonton with racist posters, ARA tore them down and replaced them with anti-racist slogans.

That said, I believe that any group who is working to fight the ideals of Neo-Nazis, should be prepared to defend themselves. These people are historically very violent.

Wow, that article damn near made Antifa out to be saints or white knights. Reality is that they target more than just white supremacists and neo-nazi's. They target anyone that they believe is racist. Including people that are simply defending the right to free speech which does not in any way shape or form mean that they are supporting racist or nazi ideology.
 
Should they "continue to tolerate" the KKK and neo-nazi terrorist thugs?

They should be investigated, and closely watched. Like any other potential terror group, including Antifah and Islamo-fascists.

They also attack anyone filming them.
 
And cops.

I guess we can safely say, they attack anyone who doesn't agree with their far left ideology. Maybe they should change their name to, AntiAntifah.

AntiFa labeled for what they really are. Agreed. Good.

"Antifa has been considered domestic terrorists...yet have been allowed, by the Feds and local LE, to act at will. Will this change? Will they continue to tolerate these terrorist thugs?"
The SJW / excessive PC stupidity as present in local governments will likely continue to tolerate their terrorist activities, as it suits their political agenda.

"The Mainstream Media has been minimizing the dangers of that group. Will they now change their tune?"
The mainstream media will continue as they have, which is tacit approval / endorsement / minimization of AntiFa's violence, with their focus on any other groups which espouse anything not in line with the MSM's liberal / progressive political agenda.

"The Obama administration kept this information from the public, at least, and probably from LE. Does anyone think that is acceptable?"
No, it is not acceptable, and is again an instance of political agenda 'uber alles' from that administration, regardless of whom receives injury and damages from that pursuit.
 
They also attack anybody that owns a business near where they are rioting.

Can we pretty much say the term Antifah, is :bs at this point?

Yes, but as mentioned, that's why I prefer the ARA (Anti-Racist Action Network). They still show up at Neo-Nazi events, but they don't look for a fight. But as I mentioned earlier, it would be foolish to show up at a Neo-Nazi gathering, without the ability to defend oneself. The NeoNazis are typically armed and dangerous.
 
If they are terrorists no, not at all. If they just think and say that the white race should be superior no. One has the freedom to think and say what they wish.

That's just the icing. Kill the Kikes, Niggers, and Spics, is the rest of their freedom to think and say what they will. Plus umpteen others who don't fit the Blonde hair, blue eyes, Aryan gene pool.

A pox on all of their houses.
 
Violent left-wing groups are harder to keep in check than violent right-wing groups, IMO. The reason is the left-wing ones tend not to be hierarchical whereas the right-wing ones do.

But I don't see any official organization of a group antifa: it is the collective name of a movement

So we should do away with the first amendment because yippy ding like what some people say?
