Perhaps if they are engaged in violence they should be treat like soccer hooligans.

The police in the UK broke down doors in the early hours of the morning, they were dragged out of bed, they received long prison sentences, banning orders and restrictions, were made to sign on at police stations at match kick off, were out in electronic tags and special police spotters and CCTV units were used to identify people.

Soccer Hooliganism is now much less common in the UK and is mainly outide grounds and involves very few individuals.

I think kicking these people and groups out of Universities and banning them from University Campuses would be a good first step in relation to the US, as they seem to be a violent poison. However the same should equally apply to right wing extremists.

Check out the news today on the riots in Sweden - same sort of Masked folks and they have an Election in 3 weeks.

Dozens of cars are destroyed as gangs of masked youths go on fire-bomb rampages in cities across Sweden|Daily Mail

Headline says "dozens" - count is now up to 87. Lots of reports out there.

Is anyone really surprised that the Leftist Media in the USA is promoting these Antifa events???
Antifa are Political Activists - just as the Leftist Media that promotes them are Political Activists.

It sounds like CNN and the like are egging these idiots on towards more violence against Trump, the authorities and America itself.

What were they chanting this weekend? "no wall no USA at all" .


Do they have any idea what they are fighting for besides just showing up with masks and weapons to silence any group that they do not agree with?

CNN is trying to give them justification like they are a bunch of Che Guevara's fighting for independence.

I see a bunch of losers that need a good spanking and a time out.



When they show up to the next event looking to disrupt it, dressed like members of isis ready to battle I think the Police should give them what they want. I say bring back the rubber bullets, tear gas, fire hoses, arrest them all and prosecute them for trespassing, creating a disturbance, damage of public and private property and sedition.



Peaceful protests are one thing but these clowns are showing up to fight and CNN should be charged as an accessory for encouraging them.

if you are a far left person then ANTIFA are solders fighting evil. Just exactly like what we saw before WW2 in Germany. Groups of militant activist beating their opponents into submission.


It worked then. Soros and the far left leaders are hoping it works now.


They were called Strumabteilung

That was not my takeaway.

He referred to them as thugs and criminals and the law will address this.

He then challenged Trump’s remarks, last year, after Charlottesville, as an attempt to create a moral equivalency between both sides when there is no moral ground.

One side hates on the basis of race, ethnicity and religion while the other side pushes back on the hate, no different than the US did in WW2.

As an aside ANTIFA is an umbrella concept covering a variety of people and groups. There is no organization structure or central leadership. Depending on the group/ individual they oppose one or more:

Capitalism

Fascism

Federal Reserve Bank

Racists

Right Wing Extremism

Elites

Illuminati

Groups are comprised of anarchists, communists and socialists and like any movement , some whack jobs.

They rely on social media to attract pissed off people.

I have a hard time seeing the label "anti-hate" being applied to the ANTIFA gang given they hate anyone who is not extreme far left, they hate police, they hate whites, they hate I.C.E..... the list of who they don't hate is shorter than the list of who they hate. How can they possibly be labeled as an anti-hate group?
