Three Antifa protesters were arrested outside a Chicago courthouse yesterday after getting into a scuffle with police. From the Chicago Tribune:

Note that as the protesters are arrested, their compatriots are chanting “Cops and Klan go hand in hand.” The protesters also held up a banner which connected police with the Klan:

As multiple marked squad cars rushed to the scene Tuesday afternoon, one demonstrator could be heard shouting to police, “F— you, you fascist f—s.’…

Protesters likened the police action to tactics used by white supremacists and accused officers of displaying brute force in an attempt to intimidate the activists.

LOL! Some confusion here. I don't think anyone was "protesting" antifa. They were causing an issue and failed to comply with LEO instructions and then the LEOs turned to "white supremacist" tactics. Or something. If the cops are arresting your bro, do NOT interfere or you may get a ride along. Fidiots. Someone needs to do a Chitown 68 Demo convention replay.

Heather Heir hasn’t even been buried yet and already the antifags are reverting to their violent ways.

“.... denouncing this group....” You’re referring to the LEOs right? ;-)

Well, knowing THAT group, you could be spot on.

I don’t think the p*ssies in the GOP-e understand how bad they look not condemning these thugs instead of supporting them like Rubio did on Twitter.
Hard card dems here in Baltimore I know are livid at the removal of the monuments last night and all over.
Most of the average dem voters I spoke with never even knew the statue removing was a thing until the last few days.
In the media’s zest to make POTUS look bad they’ve shown the rest of the country who don’t follow these crazies on a day to day basis, what they’re up to and it’s not a good look for the left.

The dems are owned by blacks and Mexicans so of course they’d be in favor of tearing down the Washington memorial if they thought it would appease their base. The dems don’t have enough middle class white support. If blacks and hispanics don’t show up to vote they lose every time.

This is why, in a cheesy Mr. Rogers impersonation the word for today, and through 2018 and beyond is PRIMARIES . Be there or be square.

They already look really dumb.

They are weasels. When the inevitable occurs, they will pivot gracefully. The media may or may not give them a pass...it depends what new revelations of donk criminality are current. If new objects of derision are required....oh, well....

It should have been 30 or 300 arrested.

We need another J Edgar; another Richard Daley circa 1968; another Larry Grathwohl (CI for the FBI working in the Weather Underground in 1969). The FBI didn’t have any qualms in those days labeling the Weather Underground a “domestic terrorist group” and infiltrating them. We need another Joe McCarthy calling out the leftist / communist threat to our nation which is VERY real and no longer operating underground.

Where are these men today?

They already look dumb. And BLM is responsible for cops being killed in Dallas and you still don’t see them being condemned by anyone.
Antifa have committed serious felony assaults and destruction of property and yet POTUS gets dragged for calling them out for their behavior?

Nah, don’t hold your breathe on the media even reporting on this group’s violence as they’ve ignored it in the past.
