A group of antifascist protesters armed with purple shields and bats showed up to the Wednesday funeral of a woman mowed down by a white supremacist who struck her with a vehicle.
Antifa, a collection of left-wing protesters, decided to crash the funeral of Heather Heyer, a white woman who died after a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of protesters during a white nationalist riot.
The antifascist activists claimed they showed up armed because “the police won’t protect the people,” according to a reporter on the scene.
Heyer died during a white supremacist rally over the potential removal of a Confederate statue of Robert E. Lee. The rally broke out into violence between armed white nationalists and antifa protesters throwing balloons filled with ink and urine and bricks at the white nationalists gathered there.
The line to enter Heyer’s funeral, hosted at the Paramount theater in Charlottesville, reached two blocks.
Wait...what?
The left’s Horst Wessel moment.
I'm surprised the Daily Caller would report this story, and include this particular gem about the mutants who disrupted the "white nationalist" rally.
Not going to win anyone over to anti-fa.
“’white supremacist’ who struck her with a vehicle.”
Is that what happened?
God are these people stupid. Please take pictures of them so they too can be called out by name as America hating, racist, anarchist domestic terrorists.
Exactly what happened.
“The left’s Horst Wessel moment.”
Exactly. Now they have their martyr, and now things will start to get “very interesting.”
They showed up armed with baseball bats.
I would have said let ANTIFA do these things the better to expose their violence, but it seem the entire MSM establishment is making excuses for whatever they do.
“armed white nationalists and antifa protesters throwing balloons filled with ink and urine and bricks at the white nationalists gathered there.”
Again, is this the accurate portrayal? Who was armed, how many were armed?
Have there been prior clashes instigated by Antifa against peaceful protesters?
Were there any assaults by the peaceful protesters?
Media won’t report on this, would ruin their lil narrative..imagine if Neo Nazi’s had shown up..round the clock coverage
some of them had guns too...
This shows that they have no respect for the dead — even their own.
You mean the Phelps gang didn’t show up?
Is chimp out a racist expression?
Antifa could blow up a building and the media and GOP Establishment wouldn’t care..they are all in bed with the far left..look at the GOP today, they don’t stand for our values anymore..they stand for whatever the progressive left stands for
