The difference is that Antifa is deady in response to other people exercising their constitutional rights. For the most part, right-wing violence is in response to acts of aggression or support for aggression.

Sometimes its symbolic, where the revenge is taken against others of the (guilty) group than those directly responsible. For example, attacking the *supporters" of aggressive and harmful actions.

So the media likes to refer to this as terror, but really what it is, sometimes, is a response to aggression, rather than aggression itself, meaning it is retaliatory and not the originating action.
The violent far-right groups are far more of a threat to me than antifa is. I care about what is the biggest threat to ME. Dylann Roof proved to be more of a threat to me than any antifa. Groups like the KKK and various Neo-Nazi groups have killed more Black people (in the name of racial hatred) than antifa has ever done. And don't bring up that stat about Black on Black time. Different subject for a different time. If it's between antifa vs the violent far-right groups like the KKK, I am far less afraid of antifa. Annoyed by them? Perhaps. Do I fear them? No. They aren't going to target me. The KKK and violent Neo-Nazi groups hate black people and target them. I can't change my skin color or who I am.

At the end of the day, I will decide what is the biggest threat to me.

Hmmm........
The perpetrators of that horrific act are from the same nation that sanctioned the murder and dismemberment of Western journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Guess what? Your President is not only an apologist for the Saudis that committed this vile act, he is doing everything in his power to protect crown prince Mohammad bin Salman from being brought to justice.

Point is, I don't see a dime's worth of difference between the Saudi terrorists that flew the planes into those towers, and the right-wing radicals that are far and away the primary source of the terrorist acts in this country. Cut from the same cloth. Same end goal, different tactics that's all.

Your pathetic variant of the "not a real man..." argument isn't worthy of adult conversation.
So they scare you as well....hahaha....how embarrassing.

You're such a brave man, not afraid of someone pointing a gun or swinging a club at you just because they are young.

Like I said, only a fool...

As far as I know they haven't shot anyone. Also aren't you guys suppose to be the tough manly side? You let a group of teens intimate you guys that much.
