    President calling for civil war.

    But someone couldn't cross the road according to a 25 second no context video clip I saw.

    Without looking at it, the dude looks like a twat. Is he the fascist or the antifascist fascist? ;)

    Perhaps they were... in your twisted fantasies, that is.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    That's the goal though isn't it? In folks race to maintain power and keep equality at bay they seem to forget some on their team want to kill minorities. They've a history of doing it.
    But let's all get outraged by antifa who have a long long way to go to match...in their fight to irradiate such people. The U.S. is a basket case.

    Did you see the video of guys in MAGA hats harassing an old lady on a walker in a crosswalk? (just kidding, it was Antifa)

    How do I know it's Antifa, you ask? Because I'm not a stone cold idiot!

    Some of your posts would leave that an open question.

    But honestly, how are you so sure on this one?

    You would have to be an idiot to not know it's Antifa. Let me guess... you don't believe those protesting creeps, dressed in black and wearing masks, blocking an elderly woman with a walker in a crosswalk were Antifa and were actually young rogue boy scouts in Halloween costumes.

    For those void of common sense it’s not the woman in blue or the elderly gentleman beside her.

    I don’t know if they were Antifa. But I have no reason to believe Antifa would bother an elderly woman with a walker crossing the road. I’d like to know why you think they would.

    I assume this is just another case of confirmation bias for you. You believe only new sources that tell you what you want to hear and videos on Twitter that confirm you’re right.

    The person in the balaclava is clearly in the IRA.

    The person with the red bandana is clearly a member of the Bloods.

    See, anyone can stereotype by clothing.

    I don’t see anything to indicate they’re in Antifa

    Maybe a rogue scout troop?
    Why do you think Antifa would do that?
    Again, some lad in a black hoodie isn't representative of a movement, especially is he's acting contrary to that movement.

    My first thought.

    Or I suppose it could be a gard, if there were any homeless to assault in the area.

    A lot of obtuse posts I see. Who do you all think you're kidding exactly?

    Of course these scumbags were Antifa. Who else would be protesting such an event and screaming 'Nazi scum, off our streets' just before they ironically, and violently, behave in a fascistic way?

    An Antifa tribute act?

    I feel sorry for them, the Rohypnol generation. Breathless, frantic and neurotic. It's terrible to see them act out like this, as they are obviously people who are unwell. The various ideologies these people have accepted as inviolable truth from gender theory to the omnipresent existence of Nazis under every bed are quite tragic.
    Having said that I have seen mugshots from time to time of Antifa people who have been arrested and to be honest it looks like quite a number of them may be meth-head hangers-on looking for something to do of an afternoon. The well off Antifa types keep their shrieking mostly confined it seems to the cloisters of well-manicured campuses. The dirty streets are not really for them.

    ''Antifa Tribute act'' - haha that made me chuckle, good comment, Outlaw Pete.

    You are never going to convince me that you're in the right by carrying on like this. If that was my Mother or Grandmother that these scumbags were bullying they would be picking themselves and their teeth off the pavement.

    Card me or ban all you want, but if you support behavior like this then you're a piece of ****.
