Anti-Fa were out of line.This time it was them

Proud Boys have been arrested on countless charges of violence before.

Both groups do not represent anybody but themselves and it is ridiculous to make general sweeping accusations about folks on the left or right based on these groups.

Pantifa mobs are pretty good at attacking the elderly and women. Whenever these man-bun wearing transwaffles tangle with a middle aged male they generally get their feminine little butts handed to them.

Proud Boys vs. Anti-Fa has become a bit of a gang war.

Aybody defending any of their actions or assigning blame on to one group is not completely informed on the list of violent acts charged to both groups.

They most purposefully mean to antagonize each other.

Nobody in the Proud Boys showed up at that rally in Portland NOT ready for brutality.

It was meant to be provocative and violent.

Unprovoked assaults aren't "clashes".

2 politically motivated groups meeting downtown and resulting in violence is a clash. Whether or not everyone assaulted did something specifically to provoke it does not change that.

I enjoy how you and others throw out variables like quantity, weapons used, number of incidences per side and then equate the two.

You know exactly what you're doing when you do this.

Except that didn't happen here. The AntiFas beat up a solitary old man.

I'm a conservative living in Seattle. We haven't seen the violence that is manifesting in Portland yet. But what does rear it's ugly head are the passive aggressive reactions from the left. I've found that the left is very tolerant of people in their own circle. If you are outside of their circle, there is no tolerance or acceptance. Their passive aggressive actions let you know that you are a guest in THEIR city. I get the cold shoulder treatment a lot.

Guess what I find disturbing is the amount of hatred that is flowing thru America right now. It's darned alarming and it's the reason why I'll move abroad to retire.
