Seven Antifa Terrorists Arrested On Federal Charges After Weekend Of Carnage In Portland | Leftists Turn Against Noam Chomsky
The latest crop of terrorists arrested in Portland are about to learn that the feds are not going to placate...

[FONT=&quot]Seven antifa rioters were charged with a variety of federal crimes after the multiple attacks on Hatfield Federal Courthouse over the weekend. Unlike Multnomah county district attorneys, who have a penchant for dropping charges on violent protesters, these “suspects” will be facing federal prosecutors. . . . [/FONT]
 
Yeah, Antifa needs to be dealt with. Any group showing up, left or right, for the expressed purpose of starting fights and violence needs to be dealt with. I've never liked Antifa, I think they're a bunch of raving authoritarian bastards who co-opted a name from history to try to brand themselves as heroes. They ain't fighting Nazis, they aren't standing up to fascism, they're just looking for street brawls. They're a music-less form of West Side Story.

Any of these folk who are committing assaults, riots, and/or vandalism should be prosecuted as they put at risk the free exercise of rights by others. Those Lost Boys or whatever assholes can face the same, because they show up for no other reason that to get in fights with Antifa.

The only part of that link identifying these people with "Antifa" is the intro by the author.

Stop trying to make "Antifa" a real thing.
 
If it quacks like a duck . . .

That makes zero sense. How do we know what "Antifa" is supposed to act like when it is a fledgling movement that really never took off until it became the Right's boogieman?

Aug 22, 2017 - Daniel Penny on “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” by the historian Mark Bray, which explores the origins of the anti-Fascist movement and ...


 
You described it as a "fledgling movement." The fact that the article is three years old makes my point, not yours.

Actually, it doesn't. It pretty much shows that "Antifa" never really took off. Now it mostly exists in the imagination of right wingers.

Sorry, but that's just denial. I look forward to the plea-bargain-driven evidence from the new arrestees.

Its really an autonomous movement with no central direction. Has its benefits and cons, disrupting fascist organizing being the main pro.

Good to see that the DOJ is taking a very active role in going after the people who are destroying property,
looting, starting fires, ect. They have arrested many since the local government in some areas have done nothing!

So if you have nothing to add to this thread maybe don't post garbage that has nothing to do with the thread!

The arrests are a matter of public record.

What links them to this nebulous "Antifa" except words from a Gateway Pundit "journalist"?
 
Attorney General William Barr said Thursday that the the federal government has evidence that the radical left-wing antifa movement as well as other extremist groups have "hijacked" legitimate protests around the country to incite violence, and said certain "foreign actors" are seizing on the unrest to sow discord in the U.S.


Evidence that antifa, '''foreign actors''' involved in sowing unrest and violence: AG Barr - ABC News

You believe Bill Barr?

Hahahahaha...

I mean, when they start doing that and stop just engaging in street brawls, I might start to give them more credit.
