Will battles between Trump supporters and pro fascist group Antifa lead to more widespread conflict?

I believe this incident was in NY but there have been recent skirmishes in Portland as well.

Does this stay limited to a few extremists in mostly urban locales?

No. I don't think anybody outside of "Proud Boys" or ANTIFA cares about the Proud Boys or Antifa.

The extremists on both sides who get violent are a very, very small percentage of the population, and they are mostly irrelevant.

Only if the Antifa thugs keep attacking innocent people, threatening them etc.

Sooner or later they will pick on the wrong targets, and get their butts kicked. As happened when they attacked the proud boys.

I hope the Right wing groups would not stoop to the Left's level. Let the Left's hate show to the country and the world how fascist they really are.

The people with Masked Faces become the victims.


Looks like Antifa's advance, was countered with a more powerful force.


LOL!


They wanted a war.... They got it, for sure.
Attacking people leaving an event and then claim they are the victims, because they are the ones that got hurt, when the people leaving the event fought back?

The Antifa should read up on the Civil War. It would save them a lot of trouble.

The video is actually a pretty good analogy to the Civil War.

Imagine being an older white guy just driving your car along out on errands and a mob of antifa idiots that are directing traffic in your city single you out because of the colour of your skin and berate you. How much fear would you have? What if you had a gun and decided to use it to escape what you perceive as a life threatening moment?

It could and will happen.

Will it be the starting "Shot heard round the world"? Where good people take back the country from the extreme Left morons and misguided SJW's ?



I think the average man bun toting pajama boy that finds his courage behind a mask in a mob setting with antifa have met his match in a group like the proud boys.



I don't condone either extreme group but maybe this is what antifa needs to stop their antics?

All it takes to get people clutching at their pearls are a couple brawls between people that like to get out in public and fight?

Civil War? Lol....this stuff is pretty minor compared to what went down after the Rodney King verdict (for starters).

This thread is completely devoid of historical context.
