John Medlar, the 23-year-old spokesman, said he and other young men began communicating on the Internet to express alarm over what they viewed as support for protesters who set fires, damaged property, and started fights following the University of California Berkeley’s decision to invite controversial conservative figures to speak.
“We were alarmed that people were OK with fringe anarchists burning down a campus and driving [out] speakers,’’ Medlar said.

“We denounce the politics of supremacy and violence. We denounce the actions, activities, and tactics of the so-called Antifa (militant leftists) movement. We denounce the normalization of political violence,’’ the group’s Facebook posting said.

Excellent quote.
If might be time for the FBI to act like they're job is to PROTECT AMERICANS NOT TO PROTECT WHITE LIBERAL ELITES IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
We need to know WHO is behind violent left wing groups... and how many others might be ‘susceptible’ to being recruited by left wing violent groups. Maybe the FBI should start trolling left wing web sites like they do with conservative sites..

Bostonians and Boston-lovers witnessed a series of fine Red Sox games over the past week or so, culminating with last night’s win over the New York Yankees. “Win, dance, repeat!!!!”
But today, we had a massive, ugly leftist riot, perpetrated by those who “resist” our legitimate, legally elected President, and no doubt funded by Soros. The whole point of this riot was to show that it is impossible to express our right to free speech in Boston.
PHOOEY!!!!
BBC News just reported that the peace demonstration was organized by the extreme right and many of their demonstrators were wearing Donald Trump hats”. They also said that that the demonstration was abandoned when many thousands of peaceful marchers began arriving at the common.
BBC is England’s disgrace.
