Trump has called for Antifa — a loose organization of far-left radicals who often use anarchist tactics in their fight against what they see as fascism creeping into every corner of society — to be labeled a terrorist organization.
To better understand who’s actually participating in the Portland riots and protests, National Review reached out to demonstrators who were arrested during a two-week period in late August and early September, and combed through dozens of their social media profiles.
The findings: People participating in the riots are not all Antifa members, though there clearly are Antifa supporters in their ranks. Police say some of the most dangerous demonstrators are skilled at not being identified and avoiding arrest.
None of the protesters who spoke to National Review said they self-identify as Antifa, though they all said they consider themselves against fascism generally.
And while the protests may have been sparked by renewed calls for racial justice, it’s clear that many of the protesters have other driving motivations.
Among the people arrested during the two-week period were the co-chairs of the Portland Democratic Socialists of America who wrote on Facebook that the protests were “about the total abolition of policing, the prison industrial complex, and the racist capitalist system that needs them to function.”
Another protester published a series of anti-capitalist and pro-Antifa memes on Facebook, including a photo of wildland firefighters wearing black masks and holding an Antifa flag.
An indigenous activist whose been arrested at least six times posted a photo of herself on Twitter next to a statue of Teddy Roosevelt, which was torn down during the so-called “Indigenous Day of Rage.”

angry mom’s who brought these pukes into the world
What a stupid article. Who organized and funded the riots? Of course they will tell you exactly what they support and which organizations they have joined. Those individuals who slipped away and were hard to identify? Naw, they COULDN’T have belonged to Antifa. What a joke journalists have become. Most followers of violence aren’t card carrying members of specific groups. They are just followers..... But they are usually the larger portion of such mobs.
Look! Free stuff! Violence with impunity! Let’s break something.
I only ever saw my mother angry maybe several times in my entire life...but she never took it out on anyone else much less our town?
if the anarchists featured in this article are representative of the portland anarchists as a whole, then half are officially mentally ill, and the other half are unofficially mentally ill ...
You believe that Ryan Mills? Trying to make them look like a group of amateurs? They're not dangerous? Wait until some loose organization group shows up at your house or your city.
I would have said....half are mentally ill because of drug-use, and half are mentally ill without any use of drugs.
Does Antifa discriminate against moms ?
They are organized deep state pawns who are sullied with body armor and weapons. Troubled youths, my ass! They are arsonists and murders who’ve been allowed to destroy the city and state.
AND there were no moms. They are all leftist, militant teachers!
No wonder they don’t want to return to the classroom. They wouldn’t be able to riot for months on end.
The governor, senators and mayor all need to be arrested for enabling arson, death and destruction!
And this why I don’t subscribe to NR or visit NRO.
So Antifa uses useful idiots. Commies always hide behind morons. It’s what they do. Mow them all down, then maybe the idiots won’t be so useful.

Who cares?
The leftists have voted for their own destruction for years. Let them sh t in their nests.
See ya, don’t wanna be y
Yep. I distinctly remember as a kid when my own Mom would get mad and start the town on fire and chucked rocks at police officers and broke the windows at her favorite department stores! NOT!
*Rolleyes*
Just follow the d@mn money! It will lead you right back to Soros and other Dem-funded groups like ‘Code Blue’ or whatever they’re calling themselves these days.
RICO them. Bankrupt them. End of riots.
When does ‘White Boy Day of Rage’ start?
November 3rd.
National Review has been a few cards short of a full deck for a while now.
In my youth I subscribed to the magazine.
They became clowns....sad.
Here is the real deal on Antifa:

As long ago as the occupy protests, I've been waiting for just ONE reporter, person, anybody to ask -"Who is feeding you?"
