Literally no one, and I mean no one, gets it. We have seen these Antifa thugs attack Trump supporters leaving rallies for a year. The 4chan kids have a meme with some 50 different people with blood streaming from their scalps and faces on one image. Not one arrest. Not one politician concerned besides Trump. The reaction of most folks is, “Man, I ain’t going near anything that is going to send me home like that.” Which, of course is the whole point. The “beaters” KNOW they can act with impunity (and there is evidence of some being PAID to do it, the names of those paying are know and still, not one arrest.
Some folks aren’t willing to go so “quietly into the dark night” and knowing they will be attacked have begun wearing helmets and carrying shields so they can defend themselves. And yes, “based stick man” defended himself offensively.
For anyone, BSM or politician to interpret this sequence of events as “both sides are violent” is disingenuous at best and outright lying propaganda, at worst.
One image I will never forget is a poor woman in San Diego where the police were ordered to let Antifa roam who was trapped in a revolving door. The police were on the other side of the glass and would not let her in and some 20 thugs spit on her repeatedly literally covering her face and head.
Sorry, but this “moral equivalence” argument is pure crap. It is more repugnant than the violence itself but I guess, that is just life today.
