You needed to watch more. These mobs are organized and only purpose is to destroy society. The snowflake leaders in Portland have no idea that it probably includes them. Although the hard core is at the enter they are running the show and very vicious. The naive participants are uses as human pawns. When things go south for authorities they'll be lucky if there are police to protect them.

Wait until they start in Australia and will see how you feel.

 

You seem to know an awful lot about ANTIFA's inner workings and plans. Suspicious, that.

This behaviour is very much reminiscent of that of thought police forces in countries like Russia, China, and others where free thought is not allowed.

Free thought doesn’t include destroying people’s property,they all need a good beating.send in the military.

People not involved at all were apprehended without explanations given by unmarked people in unmarked cars.

Are these pro antifa commenters American by any chance? I have my doubts and it would be important to know where their interests are.

I'm an American and I don't even know what antifa is....except that it stands for "anti-fascist."  It's more of an idea than any one organized group.  But honestly, shouldn't every decent American be against fascism?

You are being duped by the perfidious ANTIFA, their "anti-fascism", "anti-racism" rhetoric is just a cover they use. Their real agenda is the overthrow of existing society, because they are marxists, anti-capitalist and they see everything that supports the current order, especially police, as the enemy to be destroyed. So they can set up their fantasy lefty anarchist la-la-land.

I think it's misleading to hide one's national identity and criticise another country's politics. These people do not have the US interest at heart.

It's hilarious, isn't it, people who make sure to wear black masks and hoodies so they're not recognised, complain when police don't identify themselves.

 

But of course you defend THEIR right to go incognito, but when police don't wear uniform the world ends and it's a dicatorship. Lol.

Some inflammatory posts that were bordering on personal attacks and the replies have been removed. Keep it up and warnings will be issued.

If they were there they're involved  and should be questioned. I don't think there are a lot of tourists around in a violent mob.

Best not to attend a riot then.

Authoritarian government use this form of intimidation to scare people from their right to freedom of assembly, freedom of association and freedom of speech. Those constitutional rights should be familiar with Pompeo who have been criticizing China and Venezuela governments for the same action.

Oh, I see. So the hardcore Antifa followers are about as wacko as the QAnon dupes or the BoogieWoogies (sorry, can't remember the inane name)?

Negative. The usual suspects (including you) are repeating the same old song and dance over and over. They are lies. 
 

The cops were clearly marked, they announced themselves. The very first guy that was blasted all over the media ran from the cops for several blocks after commuting multiple crimes. 
 

All y’all need to do is be honest, but it’s just not in your constitution.

 The Boogaloo Movement. Boogaloo followers are fixated on firearms and preparing for "another US civil war". All over TikTok, tend to be on the young side. 

Anywho, seems a real dumb hill for Democrats to die on coming up to an election and RIGHT AFTER Weeks of very public riots but hey, if y’all wanna circle your wagons around violent anarchists and communists destroying property in one of the most liberal cities - be my guest.

Wacho spoiled, leaches on society that haven't contributed anything. They are part of the liberal child upbringing that prevents any sort of school or parent discipline. I'm not into physical abuse but limits and consequences need to be clearly set.

And the left melted down and had no issue arresting them, the proud boys etc but Oh no, not antifa.

Ok, for a start, show me where the federal police weren’t Identified. Let’s put that one to bed right now.

Were they present in Seattle or Portland? All I see on the videos are Antifa types.

That's it. Knew it was something close to booger, very appropriate. Anyway, they should be disbanded, disarmed and each given a good old spanking and 1000 hrs of community service.

Interesting. So it’s just hypocrisy and tribalism. Nothing to do with the law. Cool cool.
