In their little chat groups some of the antifa are now saying that they need to get guns. They are surprised at the ferocity of the blowback that they are now getting at their riots. At Berkeley their weapons included M80 explosives, police grade flash bang grenades, wine bottles, skate boards and of course heavy U-shaped bike locks swung at the head. They have used knives in the past. Guns won’t be out of the question.

The one thing that they seem to truly fear is getting their identities exposed. They are cowards afraid of being connected to their crimes.

Right, because they plan to get jobs at Google and Facebook after school. Wouldn’t want a social media presence tying them to terrorist activity, or at the least, criminal conspiracy.

cameras and unmaskings would be the objective. It is necessary to expose who these are. Instead of beating them up and taking their pants, pulling off their masks can be done without a beatdown.

I was amazed at how quick I think it was 4Chan was able to out a guy who hit a protester with a bike lock. The guy who did the assault was wearing a mask. They over laid his face with an existing photo of a “college prof” and were able to pretty much conclusively “prove” it was him. Getting their identities revealed is a ship that has pretty much sailed, it would appear, if their actions get serious enough to make it worthwhile.

“Police-grade” flash bangs are regulated by the BATFE and are a felony for unlicensed sale, possession or use. So whatever devices the antifa had they were not this class of device.

see for example.
