Antifa, leftists protest in Berkeley after cancellation of anti-Marxism rally

Nice post:

Two right-leaning rallies in the Bay Area were canceled over the weekend by organizers over fears of violence, but that didn’t stop leftist radicals from creating chaos.

“Basically all day, this is what it’s going to be like,” he said. “We’re going from spot to spot trying to hide from people who dress like ninjas, who run around, they want to burn stuff down, they want to commit violence, they want to use bike locks, they want to use clubs with nails through them.”

“It was the best thing to do for the city because the way it was set up is that a lot of innocent people were going to get hurt,” Mr. Gibson said during a press conference on Facebook Live. “That’s a fact. A bunch of supporters, a bunch of Antifa communists, normal liberals would have all been mixed together. It would have been a huge riot, and it would have been a disaster.”

So Antifa is using physical violence to shut down free speech. You speak... you get beat.

Lock em all up.

The vast majority of results are from 2017 but somehow that's evidence that this whole scare isn't a recently manufactured controversy?

They've been around for quite some time. I'm actually rather surprised you've never heard of them before.

There are whites getting stabbed for how their hair looks by the alt-left claiming the victims are Nazis. There is every reason to believe the alt-left is a very real physical threat to Republicans, conservatives, Trump supporters, and whites.

Sorry, your white boy that got "stabbed for how their hair looks"? Well, turns out he stabbed himself and made up the story, and is now being charged with falsifying a police report.

Sounds like Republicans, conservatives, Trump supporters, and whites, are the threat to themselves....... Man who claimed neo-Nazi haircut led to stabbing in Colorado actually stabbed himself, police say

Isn't that a racial slur?

He's also not mine.

Throw the Nazis in jail.

He sure was when it suited you.

Not sure why it is surprising, given that they've just recently been dug up as an excuse to ignore right wing domestic terrorism.

Who is ignoring right wing terrorism? (That's a real question. I haven't personally seen anyone do that here- so if they have- I'd love to see what you're referring to.) And- the fact that they exist and have for a while- doesn't mean people are only 'digging them up' at this moment in time to excuse anything. Anyone that has paid attention for at least a decade or so knows of their G20 shenanigans. Antifa has been extending their shenanigans outside of the G20 of late and it is notable and noticeable. It's kind of odd you're digging your heels in on this, to be honest, unless you're attempting to ignore left wing terrorism in the same way you're accusing others of ignoring right wing terrorism. Terrorists are terrorists.

I think labelling Antifa a terrorist organization at this point would just increase their ranks and their donations. If that is your goal - go for it.

That's a flag mate.

Flying that flag doesn't make him anymore of a nazi than flying this flag:

Makes the people flying them members of the KGB.

Who is ignoring right wing terrorism?

I don't see a thread called "Should white supremacists be officially labeled terrorist organizations" even though a member of their group was the one who actually murdered someone a few weeks ago at a white power march. Seems rather strange to call out in multiple threads here a group which has done far less damage.

Just as soon as the emphasis, white supremacists and kkk get declared domestic terrorists.

(And at that same rally another member of their group fired a gun at a counterprotestor, and another man drew and pointed his gun at a man who came to help another black man who was being beaten by white supremacists with metal poles)
