These groups need to post a sufficient bond to cover cost and damages before they are allowed to have a demonstration. There is sufficient evidence that there will be violence and property destruction and huge security costs associated with the demonstrations. They have stated that there is no real purpose to the demonstrations other than to generate news.

They are not good guys just defending themselves.

Private property and owners shooting the tresspasser/troublemakers would stop all that nonsense real quick. More the case if the streets and sidewalks were privately owned, such demonstrations would never take place.

You believe what you want.

But your support of the Proud Boys is pathetic.

This is a gang war and not about left vs. right - unless you are so pathetically blindly loyal to a side that you have lost some of your humanity.
What the heck are you talking about, I'm not supporting the Proud Boys, I simply asked if any of you could provide an example were ANTIFA didn't initiate the violence.

This event showed yet again that ANTIFA initiated all the violence.

But it is their country. I doubt you will find any illegals among the ranks of the proud boys. A civil war is what the media and the leftist scumbags want. Chaos, shooting in the streets, how many proud boys were out there throwing hammers today? There's a lot of stupidity to go around on both sides, but that's exactly what you would expect at one of these ridiculous preplanned skirmished. And the media was pivotal in pumping this skirmish up beforehand, so as to assure it will be extra chaotic. They are turning this country into a mad house.

I don't see proud boys carrying the hammer and cycle and demanding a glorious bloody red revolution.

Because extremist from out-of-state decided to protest there? Maybe you should be more concerned about where they came from.
