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?

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.

“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.

Antifa won’t leave the safety of the protesters. Neither will the riff-raff looters that follow.

They know they’ll be shot.

Here is the typical ANTIFA organization for protests/riots.

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.

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.

Antifa would not go into affluent neighborhoods to steal. If Antifa goes into these areas it is to commit acts of property damage.

One of Antifa's roles in these riots is to create property damage such as smashed store windows, smashed doors etc and thereby encourage opportunistic looting by protesters.

It’s all fun and games until Antifa burns down your radio station.

There were "peaceful marches" planned for the suburbs of Cary and Apex today. Cary sent out an email yesterday advising people of road closures. This is Apex.

“Antifa may be heading into the wealthy neighborhoods tonight to take what should be theirs,” one text said

They are right and I apologize for owning property that some tee-tee weenie thinks they should have.

Drop by the house and take it.

Wow. I used to live in Cary; I went to NC State University. Kinda speechless.

It will fail. Maybe this is a trial balloon.
