Members of the “Antifa” movement claim to be anti-fascist but they act like fascists all the time. They use violence and intimidation to silence people they don’t like and destroy private property.
Now they’ve been declared a terror group in the state of New Jersey.
This is from the New Jersey Homeland Security website: Anarchist Extremists: Antifa
June 12, 2017 Domestic Terrorism
Anti-fascist groups, or “Antifa,” are a subset of the anarchist movement and focus on issues involving racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism, as well as other perceived injustices.
Self-described Antifa groups have been established across the United States and in several major cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco. A majority of New Jersey-based anarchist groups are affiliated with the Antifa movement and are opposed to “fascism,” racism, and law enforcement. Antifa groups coordinate regionally and have participated in protests in New York City and Philadelphia. There are three loosely organized chapters in New Jersey, known as the North Jersey Antifa, the South Jersey Antifa, and the HubCity Antifa New Brunswick (Middlesex County).
Infowars has more:
The designation is of course completely valid since Antifa fits the very definition of terrorism, which is “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”
The group has also staged numerous violent riots, including during the inauguration of Donald Trump, that have caused millions of dollars worth of property damage. There have been innumerable violent attacks on Trump supporters by members of Antifa over the last six months, although the mainstream media has barely reported on them.
That’s pretty serious.
When will the DOJ do this?

Good for New Jersey. Who’da thunk Liberal New Joisey had such common sense to smell the coffee?
WAPO’s favourite left-wing terrorist group.
Good they are
I would like to have a bumper sticker that reads Antifa=fa, or Antifafa
I hadn’t thought to see rational, objective analysis and action from New Jersey. There it is though, and good on them.
Even if the DOJ does declare Antifa a terrorist organization, they’ll just rename themselves.
Did ACORN really go away, or just change names and continue to receive Obama largesse? (For example, under a different name, as a community organization that would share in DOJ sue-and-settle corporate payouts).
Antifa are not part of the anarchist movement. They are part of the communist movement. Anarchists would let you lynch as many blacks, rape as many women, and refuse service to as many gays as you want. Not that I advocate any of those things, but you get the point.

For the first time in my life I am proud of my home state, to paraphrase the former first lady Michelle O......
Wow.. I’m shocked! Makes me almost not want to move away from NJ.
Thank goodness Monmouth and Ocean counties are majority conservative.. That and family keeps me here.
Good grief!
Chris Christie still good for something...
