‘Antifa’ has a rapid response team that targets ‘alt-right’ organizers

‘Antifa’ activists were ready to confront those targets in person, with fists and pepper spray, and knives if necessary.

The Signal messages appear in staccato bursts:

“We all in blac bloc bout to join.”

“We in the streets.”

Looking up from my cellphone, I see them coming: a platoon clad head to toe in black, marching in formation like some sort of dystopian Roman legion. They’re carrying flags and holding shields, some embossed with the black-and-red logo of the anti-fascist movement.

As they approach the column of protesters already marching toward Berkeley City Hall, they start banging on their shields, chanting:

“Ah – anti! – Anti-fascista! Ah – anti! – Anti-fascista!”

Hundreds in the main crowd – from small children to white-haired peaceniks – join in, “Anti-fascista! Anti-fascista!”

This dramatic moment marked a historic coming together of mainstream San Francisco Bay Area leftists and these combative protesters known as “antifa.” Spurred by the deadly events at a racist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, two weeks earlier, leaders of the anti-hate march invited local antifa to form a “black bloc” – moving in formation, wearing black – to protect their Aug. 27 march on a planned right-wing rally in downtown Berkeley, California.....

At some point there will be real blood shed. Concealed carry is a way of life for some people. Most are very honest and knowledgeable of the laws associated with the use of deadly force. But at some point someone will be rightly afraid for their life. When that happens there will blood shed.

It’s blatantly illegal.

And it would be easy to stop them. Just pick them off from the back, like a row of ducks.

Cite them with a ticket, photograph, fingerprint, drive to a fenced area, hold for a couple hours and release. Put all information on a website. Next antifa protest, only a very few will show up.

Since anyone knows how to stop them, we know they don't want to stop them.

Great way to for Antifa to get lured into an ambush. It would be such a shame if some beat out of them who their paymasters are.

“We all in blac bloc bout to join.”

“We in the streets.”

What is it about contractions that black people can’t get? They never use them. Not in writing and not in speaking. Perhaps if they spent as much time getting an education instead of all this faux racist crap they would get out of the ghetto. The reason black people can’t get anywhere as a minority “blac bloc” is they can’t move past 1866. They are incapable of moving into the future. That and the fact that they keep listening to liberal dimocrats. The black population has dropped from 18% of the population to 13% in a decade. Killing each other and abortions are all the result of dimocrat policies.

What if they gave a riot and nobody came?

I like what happened when the right canceled their participation and the left showed up anyway.

They had a riot anyway and the press had to cover only them because thats where the only story was.

All that money for plane tickets and chartered buses to expose themselves as the anarchists they are.

They’ll go through that 0bama money really quick.

Guess where it will go to?
Businesses and companies that provide services.

Big corporations have been giving vast sums of money to ethnic/sexual grievance lobbies for decades, with no prompting from the government.
