I am as anti-fascist as they come. My Father fought against fascists in WWII. I am also anti-crime, and I don't care what the political leaning of the criminal is. Criminals should face consequences.
Well said.

RE Antifascist. Antifa is not antifascist since they make up their own (inaccurate) definition of fascist.

Anarchists are NOT taking orders from a major political party. If they did, they would no longer be anarchists.
They don't call themselves anarchists.

You can try to re-brand them but calling the NY Yankees the Boston Red Sox does not make it reality.

I agree with you and Cuebald on the point of applying equal justice to those breaking the law.

I just can't get Cue to admit that city prosecutors and mayors have let people off the hook en masse when it aligned politically in these situations.

Won’t see this widely covered like the recent arrest of the “patriots” in a Uhaul trailer on their way to a pride rally. Neither side are good but only one side gets wide coverage

It's about time. I want to know how high up this goes. Which Democrats are directing the mobs and the violence? I believe it leads to Obama and Hillary in the end. Biden knew too, before he turned completely senile.
How long before the justice department steps in and says it's all just a big misunderstanding and frees them?

Sadly, that’s the probable outcome. Merrick Garland has proven he is only interested in political persecution. He needs to be impeached and removed. Thank God he’s not on the Supreme Court.

Over the last several years, San Diego has gone from a solid "Red" City to one heading full speed into "Wokeville". At least they don't seem to be too far gone. Where unlike other cities they would have just not even tried to pursue any charges or indictments.

He's talking about a Grand Jury, not about the Jan 6th show trial the Democrats crafted for TV recently.

Q: What's the difference between a Grand Jury, and the Jan 6th show trial?

A: The Grand Jury is legally constituted, while the Jan 6th show trial has no Constitutional authority to prosecute wrongdoing.

And, a Grand Jury is composed of unbiased people whose judgments are assumed to be honest - factors which the Democrats carefully and deliberately avoided in the selection of the Jan 6th show trial participants.

I'm pretty sure, they look at Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis lawlessness, and see "a bridge too far".

Wait. I thought Antifa was only an "idea". How can an idea have members?
