Violence erupted at the ‘We the People’ rally in Philadelphia Saturday after hundreds of far-left Antifa thugs showed up to cause trouble.

A planned rally by conservative groups to show support for ICE and police officers was met with hundreds of black-clad, masked Antifa thugs on Saturday near the Independence Visitor Center on 5th and 6th streets.

According to reports, about 80 conservatives showed up to the rally compared to the hundreds of Antifa thugs who showed up to counter-protest (cause trouble).

According to the police commissioner, 4 people were arrested; one person punched a police captain.

From Facebook, it looks like the only violence was between the commies and the police. The police did a good job of keeping the two groups separate.

“This will not end well.”

That means some violent Antifa thugs are going to be popped.

If that gives their own Horst Wessels, then so be it.

They have some elements who are very capable of violence and criminal acts. Most of them are noise.

The worst element of Antifa is called the “black bloc”.

It’s nice to see the city in which I was born, the once great Philadelphia, is doing SOMETHING right.

Even though I am far from it now, I shall always remember that wonderful place called home, when it was a model city for entertainment, culture and, yes, friendliness.

This Antifa is fruit of some of George Soros’s money.
And I remember an article a few years back and in it says soros and his funded groups are organizing and fanning out across America to effect state and local elections.

Oh, yes. He has even targeted Secretary of State candidates as an avenue to gain control of election processes.

Soros is a U.S. citizen and he is an in your face threat to the the nation and the world. He intends to sow chaos and destroy the entire free world.

Yes, I assume that is correct.

But I’ve not heard who the 4 were or what charges were brought against them.

Too often the police in large cities don’t handle this as terrorism. Although it is clear that the “black bloc” are terrorists. And in my mind, Antifa is too.

I’m sorry that what you cherished in your childhood has been corrupted like it has.

As far as our nations founding, Philadelphia is central to it’s success.

Evil has always targeted such places. The favorite tactic that it uses is take something good and turn it upside down and turn it into a force of evil.

Horst Wessel

Thanks, that was a name and a connection to the rise of the Nazi's that I had not read. With all the discussion of whether the Nazi's were Right Wing or Left wing, it is clear that that distinction is not very important and often applied incorrectly. From reading the wiki, the conflict between the Nazi's and the Communist is the reason that Horst Wessel was killed and the reason that his murderer was taken our of prison by the Nazi's and killed later.

I’m an optimist, normally, but when evil prevails over good, it just makes me sad.

In the end, I believe that justice, along with time and Karma, will bring failure to the evil doers. It just takes time and patience.

In the end, God will prevail.

Satan will be vanquished forever.

That does not mean we should stop fighting the evil in the world and more particularly in our nation.

I grew up in Philly and when I was a kid the cops in that town would’ve beat the crap out of these commies and tossed them in the Delaware river,as used to happen to several of my loud mouth buddies on a regular basis

Maybe our new Attorney General will get them labeled a terrorist organization like they should be.
