Try reading the article instead of the misleading first paragraph.

They know from studies that many people just read the headline and few get beyond the first paragraph or so. Even the New York Times sometimes admits the truth near the end of their articles that completely contradicts everything they said in the first half of the article.
Good post.

I also ad that ANTIFA is a secret organization in which the people, you know, where masks and stuff. So the idea that links are going to be apparent is stupid, even for a liberal.

LOL. Anyone can call themselves anti-fa. Thats the thing. Its a term. You know-Anti-fascist. I bet if we asked the majority of Trump supporters if they were against Fascism, theyde probably say yes. Welcome to Anti-fa.

to this point in time, they've been focused on the illegal activities, not any group those criminals might belong to.

That's what it says.

Reuters is slipping in their "just the facts" high-mindedness. AP has already gone.

I think you are referring to the Boogaloo Boys.

Sure looks like they are school-age kids looking for some 'action'. The BLM stuff gave them the initial spark, but in Portland it has not been about the BLM for some time now.

Trump calls them Antifa and terrorists, so his loyalists do the same. Nothing new there. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

You are being told that antifa is a figment of conservative imaginations because it is. It`s their new bogeyman. Sharpton, Jackson and Soros have been kicked to the curb.
