If Mr. Soros had actually been bankrolling all of the various anti-fascist and anti-right activities one would have thought that a right-wing administration in the US, such as the Trump administration, would have taken steps to impose sanctions on him and maybe impound or sequester his funds or property. He is a 90 yer old Hungarian and not hard to find. He lives in New York. Why haven't they deported him?

The guy is a shrewd businessman and investor who pushes the envelope when he can -- exactly the qualities that Trumpers think are so wonderful in DJT. The difference is that he is doing it not so much for his own personal fame and enrichment, like Trump, but because he has a broader view of things.

Maybe the Koch brothers financed the Charlottesville Tiki Torch Nazis or any number of right-wing fringe groups or activists. Maybe they (or Charles - David died) pays for the bricks? They certainly had their fingers in the right-wing end of things.

Some illegal entities are funding this.

I hope law enforcement can determine who is funding it, capture them, & prosecute them to the fullest for whatever laws apply....domestic terrorism, enciting a riot, illegal firearm violations, & whatever else.
Trump and his people.

If I were to guess, Soros is just a conduit. He's the lowest of the pyramid that the one percenters will allow us to see. Soros has a role. He's the heavy, the fall guy, the patsy, the boogey man if you will. The actual money comes from much higher and simply funneled thru Soros.


If they deport him, they'll just find another conduit.

I believe most of the violence is coming from the right. If it were the left, more of them would have been arrested.

I'm going to disagree. I think a whole lot of it is coming from inside the "peaceful protests" (meaning that the rabble rousers ARE a minority inside the group). However I'm sure while most of it is coming from left wing wackos...there are alt right extremists who take advantage of the situation and use the opportunity to crash the party and tear stuff up.

I suspect it's the right funding the riots, and I have since they began.
