One side in this showed up heavily armed, chanting hate speech; the other side showed up to oppose that insult to civilisation. One of these things is not like the other.

I'll post this here as a far more succinct statement than my incorrigible long-windedness will allow.

Yeah whilst I'm not a big fan of Antifa, they're not really in the same ball park as White Supremacist and Neo-Nazi groups in the US who do have a long history of criminality, gang associations and acts of terrorism in the US - You have to go back a long way to the Weather Underground and BLA of the late 60s and 70s to see an equivalent - and even then the Weather Underground's violence was very specifically aimed at avoiding harm where ever possible. The white power movements in the US have very insidious links to Prison Gangs and Criminal Gangs and political / racial violence (although they many maintain a legal deniability to terror groups).

Whoever uses violence is to blame. Antifa have used violence in non violent settings...Berkeley for example. Tim Pool was recently attacked. [Link] There is plenty of video of antifa using violence where none is necessary....you get that antifa idiot punching Richard Spencer in the face and running off. Richard Spencer is a jerk but it's an example of using violence where none is required or sanctioned. Where the KKK or other far right groups are using violence then I have the same view of it. If people are breaking the law then the police are the people to deal with it.

I think that is fair comment. But here we have a guy standing up for antifa and presenting them as doing something good. If they were just protesting these far right moronic groups I'd agree with him. Edited by Stirlingsays (16 Aug 2017 3.33pm)

Essentially those who take the lives of others because....opinions....These people are the problem...and the bias between the two is troubling. Edited by Stirlingsays (16 Aug 2017 3.12pm) Problem is, if one group uses 'the language' of violence as its primary means of expression - The reality is that if you do stand against them, or want to make your voice heard in opposition - you will likely need to resort to violence, at least in self defence - Especially given the tolerance and support these groups find in power to protect them from being labelled and dealt with for what they are - Domestic Terrorists. Its important not to be cowed into silence because of the threat of violence; and that may mean having to respond in kind to defend yourself, and your rights. If someone is trying to intimidate you from the right to protest, or free speech, you may only have to physically resist that pressure in turn, in order to defend your rights (within reason).

The white power movements in the US have very insidious links to Prison Gangs and Criminal Gangs and political / racial violence (although they many maintain a legal deniability to terror groups). One of the many stories drowned out in the chaos created by Trump and his siding with white supremacists is that the FBI foiled a plot to honour Tim McVeigh's deadly bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City...by bombing a federal building in Oklahoma City. The FBI got onto this f***wit early and let him play out his operation but with - unknown to him - a dud. He even dialed the number on his mobile to detonate the bomb. [Link] This movement is a deadly terrorist group that has proven to be the most deadly threat to Americans in America.

Oh dear. Discussion ended on my part.

In the case of Jews, those scamps were protesting their right to exist on the planet. In the case of people of colour, those cheeky tikes were protesting their right to live free. Still, boys will be boys, eh? Just let 'em be and nothing bad will come of it.
