Further down in the thread I saw someone who posted a video explaining Antifa which I found to be hilarious, because it is true.
I have seen some other photos from a different city with black protest marchers standing shoulder to shoulder protecting a guard protecting a pizza restaurant. They are shielding him from potential harm from looters and other aggressors.
There are peaceful protesters out there airing grievances. But there are a lot of opportunists and ne’er-do-wells also taking advantage of the situation and the public.
The left doesn’t even require that a person be a racist. Their excuse in their violence directed at innocent people is that they would rather have assaulted someone innocent then to let a Nazi go unpunched.
