On the other hand, your boys have caused a whole lot of trouble over the past few years. Way more than these jerks in this video have. They say things you don't like--again, that is not illegal. On the other hand, your bangers beat people, smash windows, burn cars, intimidate people, block freeways, disallow others to express their opinions, and generally act like a bunch of ghetto trash/thugs. So, from an outside perspective which group is worthy of more respect, or maybe a better question, since neither are worthy of respect, would be: which of the two groups of low-lifes is worth less disrespect?
They’re both worth equal disrespect, and both groups’ numbers grow every time they’re allowed to clash by the mayors and police of those cities. To me, the ones worth the most disrespect are the city leaders and the media who highlight them, all for the benefit of their political parties.

I can't help but wonder if the Antifa folks aren't actually alt-right thugs. Which is why they hide their faces.

False flag operations, so to speak.

If the PBs were tough like they claim they are, let's see them try to pull their antics in a city like Baltimore. They'd get the crap kicked out of them in about 20 seconds. And absolutely 0 people in a city like Baltimore would be intimidated by a bunch of people with guns in tactical gear because they already live every day with terrible gun violence. why is it these types of groups try to act tough in the whitest safe spaces possible for them to march like portland or Charlottesville? Put your money where mouths are and bring the tough guy acts to a city like Detroit, Chicago or Baltimore. See how that goes for you when you don't march in cities that are 80%+ white.
So you are saying minority majority cities are violent places? No surprise there...Its sad to see so many people cheering censorship because they don't agree with the message. Put your grown up pants on and act like an adult...

That's possible, but not likely on a large scale. A lot of these Antifa anarchists are just as bad as the Alt Right thugs, I read where there was a similar number of peaceful protestors counter protesting the Alt Right marchers, but unfortunately for them they felt the brunt of the police, who cannot discriminate amongst a large crowd of who is an Antifa punk and who is a peaceful protestor who simply does not like rightwing fascist thugs coming to their town and spreading hate. .

I can agree with this. These people should not be allowed to interact at all. It's no different than rival gangs. Regardless of the philosophical aspects of either group, just keep them away from each other. Let them blow off their steam and spew whatever they are spewing. Let them burn themselves out and go home.

Again, post your evidence to these violent events you're speaking of. Make it good now, you've spent a great deal of time here playing up your narrative that the left wing thugs are infinitely more violent than the right wing thugs. You guys keep making this claim but you have yet to back it up with any evidence.

Plus the small business owners who had their places robbed/burned were hard working black folks.

But the cops just stood back under orders of their leftist Democrat mayor.
One wonders if she will get re-elected. Frankly the people harmed should be allowed to bring charges against her. If not criminal, then certainly civil.

She will, and by the very people who she left defenseless.

Cowards, plain & simple.
It would not do me any good to go to one of these things.
I'm always armed to the teeth and wouldn't put up with someone with their face covered, getting aggressive with me, for what I said and what I believe.
