I wasn’t going deep defining who all these violent people/groups are. To clarify I can assure you these are a mix of people/groups motivated by all kinds of agendas. Trust me here.

All this is doing is helping Donald Trump, people who haven’t made up their minds yet will see these scum bags with their Mexican Flags and say “Is this the kind of country we want” and they will vote for Trump in November..these people are being paid 12 bucks an hour by Clinton and her cronies

These traitors are all scared to death now that the revolution has come.

I always thought Jake Tapper was a lefty. Never believed he was a serious journalist. He’s just like the rest of them.

Cossacks hate anarchists/atheists. They would fix this situation quite quickly.

A true anarchist does not need a reason. They want chaos

The anarchists I am familiar with aren’t motivated to do this kind of thing

It may be that the anarchists you're familiar with aren't the ones typical of the movement. I was in Seattle during the WTO riots, when the black-clad fellers from Eugene lit dumpsters on fire and shoved them downhill toward the police, the other protesters, and us civilians. If you're of a historical turn of mind you might be aware that in the decades leading up to World War I, anarchists murdered no fewer than five heads of state including an American President: Czar Alexander II of Russia, President Carnot of France, King Umberto of Italy, Empress Elisabeth of Austro-Hungary, and William McKinley of the United States. Five acting heads of state. That's actually pretty impressive if you're into that sort of thing.

It would be a shame if threatening socialist protesters were to incite panic among a few thousand Trump supporters, causing a panic and stampede as they became alarmed, right over the protesters.

Someone might get hurt.

Yeah that would be a shame, and it would also be a shame if the Trump supporters were wearing cleats those shoes sure can hurt

Someone saying they broke out the tear gas, that’s according to someone posting near the scene anyway. Of course Trump is probably cursing at 30,000 feet and a thousand miles away.

I saw some t shirts and signs for The Party for Socialism and Liberation. PSL is a Communist party in the United States, created as the result of a split within the ranks of the Workers World Party (WWP).

Communists, not anarchists.

And of course the media will spin this as yet another example of Trump inciting violence.

It’s amazing how so many on the left buy that victim-blaming meme. Sure, we get attacked so we’re the violent ones - and especially if we resist.

Whoop...Now I read the cops are saying it was smoke, not gas.

OK, So, I recently had an honest conversation with the head writer for Jake Tapper’s 4pm est, CNN show. Jason something.

Yes, news shows have writers.

He expressed his frustration and the cynical nature of the news business in general for having to cover and report on Trump. He hates it, but is forced to do so for ratings.

For more than a brief moment I sensed that he was having “Crisis of Conscious” as he vented and I was more than happy to hear him out and prod him.

The impression he left on me was that he was/is part of a machine and there was nothing he could do but go along. I brought up the 1970’s movie “Network”, he knew it and said in effect “It’s just like that”. He liked my idea that the MSM News could generate ratings by calling out the other networks for their flat out lies and misrepresentations. A news war that would make for great ratings.

I got his phone number if anybody wants to call him.

Anarchists want no government, not chaos. The two are not the same thing, except in the minds of those who view themselves as dependents of a state.

IIRC a lot of the “anarchists” during the WTO riots were later determined to be government agent provocateurs.

I don’t think the historical anarchists from a century ago really have any contemporary equivalents.
