Yup. Sorta like Steven Segal movies with bones cracking.

The MSM, Democrats, and BLM are bad at math. They want a war yet the majority of people are on the opposite pole of their beliefs. All the BLM, Antifa and Democrats have is the mouthpiece of the MSM and liberals.

This didn’t merit even one small paragraph in the local papers, so why is it featured in a British paper?
In both Yucaipa, CA and Coeur de Lene ID residents turned out fully armed to welcome BLM and Antifa “protesters” when they came to town for “peaceful” demonstrations. The protesters wisely left.
That is also what happened here. I suspect patriot residents of these small town will continue to turn out to protect their property and families. As they should.

Nothing "shocking" to anyone who has watched left wing Antifa style protestors in action. They always attack counter protestors, and they always try to start confrontations so that they can play victim afterwards.

This is just what happens when the leftists are outnumbered by counter protestors.

The police don't do anything when leftists attack innocent bystanders or counter protestors. So why is anybody surprised about what happened?

“All the BLM, Antifa and Democrats have is the mouthpiece of the MSM and liberals.”

Not entirely true. They can mobilize thousands of their orcs and have them on the streets in very short order.

We, type to each other.

My kind of place, Bethel, Ohio. Pretty far from me. Where I live, a predominately white mid-sized city in the northeast blue part of Ohio, there have been endless protests. The white guilt is strong, so virtue must be signaled.

Dayton resident here. No mention of this in the local papers or evening news. None.
I highly question the validity of this article, and I doubt there is any real impact.

Good, keep the leftist agitators out... they are simply using this BLM stuff as cover to agitate and sow division.

Not a good look.

You keep saying that as if the portrayal of conservatives, or at this point people just against a wholesale left wing cultural revolution, is something even remotely in the control of the participants in any event.

The left wing media, Daily Mail included, are always going to present a skewed leftist supporting view of what happened. And since the leftist street mobs are a part of the Democrat party many elected officials are going to support them too.

When leftists destroy monuments, attack peaceful conservatives, and in New Mexico launch a full on attack on someone who they disagree with you won't see the media say anything.

At some point people who are against the left will have to stand up and resist, or we will all live under the hammer and sickle. You can be sure that you will be vilified as an awful bully even if you just stand up with a sign.

So don't waste time on PR agency nonsense.

The guy punching the Antifa protestor, is in the wrong. I don’t see any reason for it.

When we confront Antifa, we should not resort to violence, unless required. We should be able to stand next to them without reacting to their illness, please.

The narrative here is really pathetic.

So some out-of-town Antifa types think they’re going to disturb the local residents, that righteously believe they’re going to cause trouble, and think they’ll receive no resistance?

Small town Ohio are Trump voters. That none of them left bloody is a *tribute* to patience. If we *don’t* see this type of response to these Antifa goons then it’ll just embolden them.

They’re damn lucky imo.

A: because the Daily Mail is a leftist tabloid that pays for crap stories without valid second source verification.

Not that it would matter.

Notice the "@YoJoshMartinez watermark in the photo's lower left corner...that's photographers twitter handle. His page reveals he's a NYC Puerto Rican with an agenda transplanted to Ohio with less tha 4k follower, claims he's a DJ...looks awfully pale for a BLMist

You contradict yourself. Antifa is about violence.

Exactly. Enough with the ‘looks’’ thing. It’s high time these punks understood what push back means.
