The antifa DECIDED - “we can’t just let these guys protest; we have to go and provoke some violence”; don’t worry, the press will cover our asses and put all the violence provoking on them”. And the press dutifully did just that.
So then why did the white nationalist go through this and do a favor to the antifa crowd? If you can guess what was going to happen, why did the white nationalists failed to grasp it?
What exactly would the white nationalists have achieved if it turned out to be peaceful by fluke?
Sometimes it is best to work via the silent majority knowing the media is never going to check your issues.
