Antifa Arrests Coming, Concerns Over Riots Heading To Suburbia, Government Source Says
Fpx Bews ^ | 6-2-2020 | Hollie McKay

Agitators behind the rioting that has paralyzed the country over the past week want to move into more suburban areas, a government intelligence source has told Fox News.

Much of the worry stems from the notion that many in well-armed, suburban, and rural neighborhoods won't hesitate to exercise their Second Amendment rights and elevated anxieties could lead to heavy confrontation.

"Antifa knows this," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Local and state authorities have to get a grip on this because if it moves to the suburbs, more people will die."

Several analysts pointed to places that have served as something of "testbed" locations – including Madison, Wis., which was ransacked Saturday night, along with quiet pockets of Charleston, S.C.

While it remains murky as to who exactly is behind the ongoing turbulence taking place in dozens of cities nationwide, much of the finger-pointing has been directed toward Antifa, a radical left-wing anti-fascist outfit.

But most officials and analysts have surmised that there a number of players and agendas with regards to the rioting, which has overshadowed the peaceful protests calling out racial inequalities and police brutality directed toward African-Americans.

But even before riots exploded across the United States in the aftermath of George Floyd's death, federal and local officials have long been investigating the inner workings and revenue stream of the anarchist, left-wing outfit.

And arrests among its highest ranks may be imminent.

Intelligence sources pointed out that indictments have been building for some time, and a close examination of funding revenues remains under the microscope. While Antifa operates as something of a leaderless militant wing, sources closely engaged in the matter said that there are identifiable top brass driving and inciting criminal activity.

As long as they're useful for undermining Trump and conservatives, investigation continues.

There, fixed it.

You tear up suburbia and you lose a lot of guilt-feeling supporters IMHO.

C'mon Man, as Biden would say. You fockers have NO idea what you would be facing in Red suburban residential areas. I do. But go ahead and move on the suburbs of the large cities. They're probably as big of pussies as are the urban folk.

Start up in Orange County - I dare you punks.

I believe the rioters will face stiffer and stiffer resistance the further they move from the inner cities.

Suburbs will be much worse than they think. Make it past that and out into the country, there will be a bloodbath. A one sided bloodbath I might add.

Everyone is calling for police and national guard. We need neither. Allow the citizens to defend themselves, their property, and their cities.

Imho, Trump needs to unleash the citizenry, not the police and national guard.

Sounds like a perfect way to get suburban moms to vote Republican this fall

Is Antifa smart enough to know Suburbia would become a Free-fire zone.

They’re not this dumb. How many oprah book club soccer moms in suburbia will ask their husbands (in a low voice so their gun control neighbors don’t overhear) if we have any protection in the house? How many will start to look at the bill of rights differently, from a personal standpoint, when they start hearing and seeing suburban homes torched on TV?

The left wants a confrontation where a large number of black people are shot by white people.

To this end, they are trying to goad black youths to attack white suburbs.

The black youths may be poorly schooled, but they are street smart.

It is why this tactic has failed so far.

It is called deterrence.

The biggest problem I see is None of this will stop until the Shooting Starts, that will stop the looters but who knows what lies ahead afterwards.

‘You tear up suburbia and you lose a lot of guilt-feeling supporters IMHO.’

suburban moms and grandmoms will rush out even faster to vote dem...they are so risk averse and fear ridden that appeasement is the default option...

By now, everyone here are gunned up and safety and marksmanship trained to hit a center mass, man size target at 21 feet.

The bigger issue may be, “behind every bullet, is a lawyer.”

“Antifa, a radical left-wing anti-fascist outfit.”

Anti-fascist? They are against government control over the means of production?

I doubt that they even know the definition.

Just as soon as the Valerie Jarrett brick and stone delivery vans can drop off enough rocks to throw and bottles filled with gasoline and rags. The embedded federal agents loyal to the Obama-Clinton cabal are working overtime getting enough logistical support.
