    Tell me why you advocate for people who hold different opinions to be assaulted?

    Like I said, learn a bit about the guy you're defending before you shed any tears for him.

    eh, of course it not ok!! Of course, they wouldn't like anyone to assault them who disagreed with them. They are the only ones that can assault people with opposing opinions/views to them. ............ they are right. Only them. They are oppressed.

    I hope the gardai persue it as vigorously as they do hate speech.

    Typical hyperbole. I haven't "shed any tears". I'm just looking at certain posters delighting in and downplaying assault because they dislike the person it happened to.

    The same posters who cheer when other voices are deplatformed and claim anything other than their belief is hate speech.

    But sure, I'm probably a nazi.

    “Wrongthink”? I’ve read 1984 and can’t remember anyone referring to hate speech laws.

    He's not just thinking about he is going around spreading hate. All this immigrant centres being burnt by ignorant people who listen to the hate spreaders.

    No accusation, you literally are.

    And you still sound like a first year Arts student.

    Another one with problems with nouns. That's 'a splash' to you? Apart from the fact that he was probably struck with the full cup, which cannot have felt great either.

    So are you. You are happily condoning people being assaulted. That is absolutely spreading hate.

    I've just been watching some videos of them smashing up students this morning, it's glorious! Best part is how savvy they are at claiming to be against violence, to sucker these antifa fascists in. True artistes of mayhem, violence, and discord (;) ;) ) gotta love it! And if you don't love it, you gotta respect it unless you want your face smashed in... hard to blow whistles when you don't have teeth!! :D

    Videos like these, are simply incontrovertible traits of undesirables that are displayed on a consecutive basis by this terrorist organization.

    On each occasion, videos show individuals at these terrorist organized events, to have low IQs, a deranged sense of entitlement and lack an entry-level of moral standards

    More fakes in easy to acquire disguises.

    The act is reprehensible of course. I just don’t believe it’s Antifa. Too ridiculous to be them.

    I didn't know that was a thing. Have you got examples of proof-based evidence proving that others have acquired disguises to infiltrate the terror organization? I think that may have been lifted from your conspiracy forum.

    So stunning and brave from the masked Antifa fascists.

    Were they protesting Dave Rubin in Canada ? bit of an overreaction for a gay Jew.

    What terror organization?

    It's a "my side can do no wrong" type of argument. I wouldn't even bother.

    It's both funny and ironic that they sympathize with a domestic terror group.

    Antifa extremists clashed with police in Seattle after staging a counter-protest against a ‘Make America Great Again’ rally in Seattle on Sunday. Several members of Antifa were reportedly arrested and also police arrested a Trump supporter after he was defending a fellow MAGA participant that was punched by an Antifa thug.

    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!

    They've beaten people over the head with bats, hit people with bottles and rocks, kicked a man grounded in the back of the head and even attacked a man in a wheelchair ... why would this crap be below them?
