Don't try to propagandize us to believe that ANTIFA is just a loose bunch of nerds. Any idiot can watch the protests/riots and see these roles in action.

Some pundits and politicians have raised questions about people protesting police brutality throughout the country -- in some cases accusing them of having ulterior motives.
A right wing pundit falsely accused liberal billionaire George Soros of funding the protests.
President Trump has suggested some are “anarchists.”
And in Raleigh this week, a message that was posted to neighborhood boards and texted amongst people suggested that “antifa” planned to come into wealthy areas and steal from residents.
“Antifa may be heading into the wealthy neighborhoods tonight to take what should be theirs,” one text said on June 2.

Was this true?
No. This type of rumor is being spread across the country about people marching in remembrance of George Floyd. Not only is there no evidence to support it, the claims inaccurately portray Antifa as an organized terrorist group.
What is Antifa? Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is a collection of far-left groups that rally against white supremacy and other causes. Unlike many other organizations, antifa doesn’t have an official membership, leader or base for operations.
Antifa is “more like a scene than an organization,” said Joan Donovan, director of the Shorenstein Center on Media Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
“Anarchists around the globe participate in music and culture, hosting book fairs, art shows, workshops, and music nights,” Donovan said. “That’s about as organized as it gets, but when we see ‘Antifa’ or black bloc emerge, it is to counter the far right organizing in public.”
This is what Raleigh/Wake County and surrounding areas are reading about Antifa.
WRAL is a liberal leaning Broadcasting station.
Would love to have some links to the truth about Antifa.
I am skeptical as to whether or not this will happen. Rioters have threatened to go into the suburbs for decades. Besides, what if mommy and daddy’s mansion gets burned down? How will they then afford to bail them out of jail?
Antifa may act tough but like the basement dwelling p*ssies they are..put a gun to their face and they will run like hell..that is why people need to be ARMED
See Project Veritas. What more is there to know?
How do they explain the 1000s of businesses that have been looted and burned?
“President Trump has suggested some are “anarchists.””
Suggested? Just read their signs. A gal had a sign with Vladimir Lenin quote in New Orleans. These people are advertising who they are. They are not holding back as much.
This is just one of many interim steps before an inevitable final push for revolution.
True. In Raleigh, however, the rioters did leave Downtown Raleigh and went to the Suburb of North Hills (mall) and did damage there. Wasn’t to homes - but was to the suburbs.
“the claims inaccurately portray Antifa as an organized terrorist group”
Nonsense. That is liberal propaganda.
ANTIFA is HIGHLY organized and a domestic terrorist organization.
I hate to burst your bubble of support for Antifa, but James O’Keefe would beg to differ. He is in the process of releasing undercover videos of the thugs in training. Of course, you can always contact O’Keefe and set him straight.
Antifa is a worldwide terrorist organization.
Yes, have some stuff from Project Veritas. Thanks.
Antifa won’t leave the safety of the protesters. Neither will the riff-raff looters that follow.
They know they’ll be shot.
IN Raleigh, the violence was claimed to be from Right Wing white supremacist groups - because there were spray painted everywhere red crosses inside circles.
I told my relative that anybody can spray paint anything - does not mean they are the culprits.
Tried to convey the truth about Antifa. Liberal relatives were not accepting the truth.
ANTIFA psyops.
This station is DEFENDING GEORGE SOROS????
PFFFTTT!!!!!!!
Exactly right.
Don't try to propagandize us to believe that ANTIFA is just a loose bunch of nerds. Any idiot can watch the protests/riots and see these roles in action.
Who you gonna believe?
Me or your lying eyes?
Libtards doing what they do best...believing their own PR and vastly over reaching in an attempted power grab.
The left no longer controls information...
I do NOT support Antifa. The writer of this article does.
It’s happening all over the country. We have over a dozen vehicles running patrols 24/7 on the Indy Southside all weekend. We can assemble 100 defenders to any point in 15 minutes. Don’t expect to see any riots here. We defend our own.
