Six more Antifa members were arrested in Atlanta after violent rioting and are being charged with domestic terrorism. Riots began after one of their own shot and seriously wounded a Georgia State police officer. When the police returned fire and killed the Antifa member, rich, white liberals poured into the streets, even from other states, to set fire to the city.

I'm curious, what evidence is there that these protestors had anything to do with Antifa? Looking at various news reports, I see nothing about these protestors being "Antifa" other than on Right Wing sites, and they just state they are Antifa, they don't try to provide any reasons why these people are Antifa (beyond becoming violent). It seems to me that "Antifa" has become a boogeyman for the Right to blame any type of violence done by people they consider "leftist."

You’ve inadvertently given them the very definition of ANTIFA.

I didn't give it to them, they seem to have been using that definition for the last 4+ years.

Besides, “deplorables” had already been taken, so they couldn’t use THAT!

The word "antifa" doesn't even appear in your Faux News article.

Yeah, do we have photos of these guys? Were they wearing the typical Anitfa clothes?
They were involved in typical Antifa actions, but they may have been their own group. Hard to say without any other information.

Antifa folks don't run around too often with Antifa Member stamped in their clothes it carry membership cards on their person.

But if the walk like a duck and quack like a duck.....

They also could be environmental extremists. Just not enough information for me yet to label them Antifa even though their actions are typical of them.

Typical Antifa action is counter-protesting against the Proud Boys and their ilk.

In this case, there wasn't - just protesting and rioting.

There seem to be a confluence of three groups: environmentalist, defund the police supporters, and indigenous land advocates.

No Antifa does far more than counter protest proud boys. They also attack police and individuals that are not proud boys etc.

And like I said it hasn't been stated anywhere that these people were Antifa. Could be something else entirely. We'll have to wait and see.
