America has no idea how insidious the ANTIFA movement is. It will change the country, the way the Bolshevik movement changed Russia and the entire world. We allow it to fester because of our First Amendment as we allow so many evils to fester in our country. Live by the First Amendment, die by the F.A. Our precious freedom will be destroyed by the very Amendment that is supposed to safeguard it.
I am sympathetic to that, but I have to say, our leaders let a number of opportunities slip by.
Ferguson
Berkeley
Other situations
We allowed them to riot, bully others, beat others, and prevent other people from exercising their Constitutional rights. We could have easily arrested many of them and tossed away the key after locking them up.
It’s not really the First Amendment that is killing us. It’s the lack of any law and order when crimes were committed.
The First Amendment is not the problem. The bizarre extreme to which the 1st Amendment is interpreted is a problem, along with the 14th Amendment. The entire US Constitution was originally a restriction of the powers of the federal government, and now it it exists as a tool for the federal government to use to control all of us down to what we do in our own homes. Repeal the 14th.
Those three only work together when people peaceably assemble, which is not ANTIFA's objective.
