Skinheads Against Racist Punks. I went down a rabbit hole on the history if Punk rock. So TIL not all skinheads are racists. It’s actually a pretty interesting history.
They are against the alt right who they perceive as Nazis, white supremist and fascism. They were dormant until Trump took office. Fascinating history.

“who they perceive as Nazis, white supremist, and fascism”. Assumptions are often funny, and it’s hilarious that they’re now scared because folks are able to defend themselves. They’re so brave, lol.

But something in the way you say that along with a couple other..incongruities...seems like some sort of veiled warning.

I reckon I best take heed cuz I don't have any firearms anymore. We got swamped by a big wav off Anahoe Island last Winter fishing for Lahontan cut throat. That's the deepest part of Pyramid lake. Haven't even found the bottom yet. Yes, everything I owned went down to the Water Babies. Tragic it was.

Still these "patrols" of yours interest me. Would you mind elaborating a bit?
What I will say is the gang task force - is who is made up of diff law enforcement -would get tips on the gangs seen in the area near the gun shows. I will not elaborate further. Not specific to any one city or state - just saying it happens. So obtaining a gun is not that hard. In Fl you can transfer weapons with zero documentation. That I know of, that has not changed. I will add - not all dealers follow the laws. Some have been caught selling without the background documents required.
I’m sorry you lost your weapons. I am also glad you have no problems with the left having weapons. As you can read other posters - like we are afraid of guns or we are all criminals.

Interesting, as I’ve never heard of a gang having a problem obtaining weapons, and have never seen a gang member/s at the many shows I’ve attended. They must dress in Clark Griswold attire so nobody recognizes them.

Nope. They are against all conservatives and conservative values, along with supremacists, neo-nazis, etc. And very much like blm, they want the destruction of America.

In Antifa’s calculus the terms “rightwing extremists,” “white supremacists,” and “fascists” do not apply only to Klansmen and neo-Nazis, but essentially to all people who hold conservative values. ...

Well, Trump and Soros don't seem to like each other.

But no, they were around and active under Clinton, Bush and Obama, but many had merged with the anti-globalization movement and participated in protests like Occupy Wall Street, as well as many other protests.

Every time they get into fights with groups like the Proud Boys, they get their collective butts kicked.

That said, there have been incidents where Antifa has had illegal guns.

That’s funny. I live in LA. Last summer right here in LA, Antifa came out to counter protest against anti-mandate vaccine protesters.

Should the antifa be out there to protest (instead of counter protest) vaccine mandate if they really hate nazis and fascist?

Let’s be honest here. Antifa is the brown shirt enforcers for the far left progressive.

This persistently repeated lie needs to be shot down hard whenever it pops up. Their acronym is a linguistic twist of Orwellian newspeak wherein they name themselves the exact opposite of what they really are which is anarchists using a tactical playbook straight out of Hitler's brown-shirt fascists. How do you get away with being fascist? Call yourself anti-fascist and count on dopes to not recognize fascism when they see it.

They reconstituted like moistened Sea Monkeys not to fight Trump's 'fascism' but to fight the Marxist cultural revolution that Trump's election exposed.

*To fight for the Marxist cultural revolution

From one of the informative links in post #55

Quote:
The Antifa website ItsGoingDown.org states that “in the U.S., most [anti-fascist] activists are anarchist, although a few are Maoist or anti-state Marxists,” but “in other countries, the movement is predominately Marxist.”
