Are you ready to rumble?
That’s the question the Knights of Socialism at the University of Central Florida used to advertise their new Leftist Fight Club, which is open to the entire campus – except Republicans.
“Knights for Socialism has decided to host a series of self-defense clinics for anyone that wants to learn how to BASH THE FASH,” the group proclaimed on its Facebook page.
The group said it would have gloves and pads but “no bare-knuckle yet,” followed by a winking emoticon.
The campus group claimed the combat lessons, conducted by an amateur boxer, were necessary because of a “record number of hate crimes against Latinos, Immigrants, Muslims, Women, the LGBTQIA+ community, Jews, African Americans and other minorities since the rise of Donald Trump and other Alt Right Neo Nazis.”
As WND reported in November, the supposed rise in hate crimes against Muslims and other minorities appears to be another example of nonexistent “fake news,” as many of these hate crimes have been revealed as frauds.

Campus Reform reports college administrators are looking into the incident. However, Scott Greer, author of “No Campus For White Men,” says it’s hardly a fringe occurrence.
“The left now feels violence against the right is both effective and morally justified,” Greer told WND. “They work themselves into paranoia that right-wingers are stalking about and ready to attack them, which is total nonsense. Regardless, this boneheaded notion gives them the motivation to punch anyone they deem a Nazi out of ‘self-defense.’ But make no mistake, this is not about self-defense. It’s about training to physically assault, without real justification, political enemies in order to further their agenda.”

Do they provide the brown shirts or are the socialist goons-to-be expected to supply their own?
Sorry, didn’t realize he was one of ours. Carry on Sir Knight (although you’ll need to start using that stick as a stabber instead of a head thumper).
I can’t see any of these pansies go thru the Taekwondo classes I endured.
Krav Maga and .357
*************
Great choices ,, Bruce Lee carried a .357 when he lived in the USA.
Anyone who knows me here knows I’ve been saying this for years.(I’m a former lefty) Don’t ever expect Leftists to be civil. Approach them as you would a rabid dog and ALWAYS be ready to defend yourself with a (legal) weapon.
Bingo. KkK was a military arm of the democrat party and it continues today in new names
Florida’s a shall issue, stand your ground state. I hope that self-defense weapons is standard daily attire for pro-Trumpers.
LOL!
I read, and believe, that scene was a total ad-lib.
Great scene!
I think I'll call Messrs Smith & Wesson. Much better response time ;-)
Thank you for your thoughts re: these LIEberal thugs; keepem coming!
Our awareness of who these LIEberal thugs are and what their intentions and methods are will enable us to defeat them, and defeat them we must!
Everyone in my family knows how to fight - big time.
That skill set will serve you well!
Yes to Krav Maga. There’s just no better training. As for .357, I like it but I must admit that I carry a 9 mm due to its ease to conceal.
I’d rather avoid confrontation than fight. But if I’m forced to defend myself, I plan to do it well.
Ping list ping.
A little one already happened in Berkeley. That these violent Leftist Blackshirts don’t see the irony in calling others “fascists” is another indication of a failure of our education system.
You might have missed this one, it turns out it didn't really go national, but was in the news here in Washington for a couple days:
How the shooting at the UW protest of Milo Yiannopoulos unfolded

6 p.m.OK, here's where it gets a little confusing. Even the media knows that all the violence at these rallies has been perpetrated by the left on completely innocent Trump supporters merely trying to hear a speech
A confrontation between Trump supporters and anarchists and socialists began to heat up Friday night at the UW ahead of Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ sold-out speech at Kane Hall, which seats 700 people.
Riot police prevent protesters from entering the hall.7 p.m.
The doors to the event opened.UW spokesman Norm Arkans said a couple hundred ticket holders had gotten into Kane Hall as the situation outside became increasingly volatile.
8:20 p.m.
Yiannopoulos took the stage.
Alex St. Hilaire, a student at Mariner High School, is attacked outside the University of Washington’s Kane Hall where controversial Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak on Friday. Seattle police say one person was shot and wounded in the University of Washington crowd Friday night, where Trump supporters and self-described anti-fascists have been clashing for hours. (Johnny Andrews / The Seattle Times)8:30 p.m.
A man was shot among the protesters outside Kane Hall.News of the shooting began to spread among those in attendance of Yiannopoulos’ speech. The right-wing editor of Breitbart left the stage, saying, “Stay in your seats. I’ll be right back.”
Yiannopoulos later returned to stage and said the show would go on. “If we don’t continue, they have won,” he said as the crowd rose and cheered.
So, when the first reports of a shooting came in everyone thought "the anarchists have gone even further, and are shooting people.
But in fact the shooter was a Trump supporter, a student at UW, and a legal CCW holder. He claimed he shot the protester, identified as a Socialist and member of the far left Workers of the World (Wobblie) Union.
The narrative confusion was increased when the shooter made an off-hand comment to someone while leaving the event which was overheard and repeated to the media. He said he was "attacked by some crazed white supremacist".
This was actually brilliant. With this one comment the Trump supporter completely befouled the beloved leftist narrative. Turns out the shooter is Asian and the anarchist "Wobblie" street thug is white, so he flipped all the bad reporting over on it's back on the way out of the event.
Back to the timeline:
1:10 a.m. Saturday
Police said a person of interest in the shooting turned himself in to UW police.But the man was released after telling investigators he fired in self-defense during a campus protest, according to two law-enforcement officials briefed on the case.
One of the law-enforcement officials said the man who fired the gun claimed he had been assaulted before shooting the other man, whom he believed to be some type of white supremacist. Friends of the Dukes, his attorney and the socialist union he was allegedly part of, however, disputed that characterization.
“Know the Threat:
It’s Going Down”
HOLY SMOKES these people are unhinged !
Keep your situational awareness high.
From the stories I read it was clear the the person shot had their attorney quickly move to the media and say this was all just a misunderstanding and he wanted to have a dialog so they could be peaceful. I read that as that he acted so over the top (and that there was likely enough video and eyewitnesses) that he knew the shooter was within rights to use deadly force.
My real concern is that in any kind of crowd confrontation, bullet over penetration, or a missed shot could lead to an innocent bystander being shot, which in the liberal left city of Seattle would likely result in severe criminal charges.
