As above, should they be considered a domestic terrorist group, the Florida school shooter wore an ANTIFA shirt, he must be a supporter.

Wearing an antifa shirt =/= being in antifa. Just like owning a confederate flag =/= support of slavery. Now matter how much either side wishes it so.
 
Did you Mama drop you on the head as an infant?

Stupid thread of the week ?

If the shooter was wearing Fruit of the Loom, should we consider them domestic terrorist?

Go back and rephrase

We got a winner !!
 
I hear he had a MAGA hat as well so............................
 
Why is being anti-fascist bad. Wasn't that what we fought for in WW2? Fascism is bad.
I wear an "I love Norway" t-shirt, but I'm not Norwegian.

Are white supremecists considered domestic terrorists legally? I mean the guy who ran over the girl at the white supremecist rally was a white supremecist afterall.

The founding fathers were liberals, things tend to flip flop through the years. ANTIFA's tend to be anti American every bit as much as anti fascist. They kind of blur the lines thinking Trump and anyone that looks like him (read white male) is a fascist.
 
The "Founding Fathers" were living in the 18th Century. What they thought has little relevance in the 21st Century.

Antifa are not just "anti-fascist", if they even are, they're also anti-first amendment.

From what I've seen of them, they label anyone in support of freedom of speech a fascist in order to justify engaging in violence, aka "bash the fash"

Their constitution is still the law of the land, which is exceedingly relevant.

How are you a conservative saying things like this?

OMG, a capital YES, maybe the constitution means little to you because you are not from the USA, but I guess your ancestors also mean nothing to you. Learn from history or you are bound to fail in your future.

There have been eighteen school shootings in 2018 alone. Also, 4000 Americans die of the flu each month, so I can't say ANTIFA especially concerns me.

I am a Conservative in the tradition of MacDonald and Diefenbaker. The law of the land must be able to adapt to modern life. Government in the 21st Century is far different than in 1776. The founding fathers were concerned with immediate issues, not governing a nation in need of 21st Century solutions.

My ancestors were driven out of their homes where they had lived for over a century. They were robbed and persecuted by your founding fathers. They "gave up everything save honour."

The shooter was wearing a burgundy colored shirt and Antifa people wear black, so I think it's a stretch to say he had on an Antifa shirt.

And no, Antifa should not be labeled a terrorist group; they are not a leftist group that's for sure.

Sure, just as soon as the federal government also classifies all Klan, white nationalist and Nazi-affiliated groups the same way.
By the way, you may wish to withhold your FEVERISH DESPERATION for a little while, as almost all of the hits on this guy seem to be faked accounts.
We'll know what we know when we know it, not when Alex Jones says we know it.

I have no use for anyone who tries to obstruct free speech. The Antifa followers who shout down opponents rather than engage in debate are jerks but not terrorists.

Those guys are an organized movement that is trying to ruin the left in my opinion.
 
Note the use of "terrorist" rather than "hate" before the word "group". Consider the intention in light of the differences in support for the rights of persons in hate groups vs. the persons in terrorist groups.



Or shall we also call white supremacist groups and the like "terrorist groups"?
 
Antifa uses violence to further their goals; they are indeed terrorists. And they are far left terrorists. Their goals are all leftist.

Stop reading Infowars. He didn't wear an ANTIFA shirt. That picture you read about on Infowars was someone else. The Laguna Beach Antifa Twitter site is fake.
 
I think "terrorist group" is a terminology and grouping that gets thrown around far too much. No, "ANTIFA", which itself is more of a movement with individual loosely connected cells (ala the tea party), should not be termed a terrorist group.

So much this. I find the American Founding Father autoerotic asphyxiation thing so bizarre...why put a stranglehold on yourself for all time, just because the guys that started the whole mess thought something in a time that looks nothing like today? It's not all bad, but it's surely not all good either...look where it got them.

Love your sig, by the way... :lol:
 
The Obama DHS identified Antifa as a domestic terror group.

That's good enough for me.

Yup we have much more gun violence know than we did 18th century. Do you believe the 2nd amendment should reflect the current century?
