Last week, the city of Philadelphia agreed to pay $9.25 million to 343 left-wing protesters who alleged they suffered “physical and emotional injuries” when police used tear gas and pepper spray to clear them off a major highway in downtown at a Black Lives Matter-style direct action in 2020.
Videos recorded at the time showed the mob shut down the highway while vandalizing public property.
As a journalist who reports on the militant far-left and its rioters, the question I’m asked most often is, “Who funds them?”
Some believe billionaire George Soros is responsible.
And they would be partially correct. Soros funds groups that form part of the support apparatus of left-wing militants — district attorneys, biased media and legal groups.
But his money doesn’t directly reach the pockets of militants on the street.
Who ends up paying far-left rioters like Antifa? Too often, taxpayers like you and me.
Through a developed network of radical leftist legal groups, like the National Lawyers Guild, lawfare against cities and police departments is the go-to method for payloads. At nearly every left-wing “direct action” or riot, you’ll see NLG “legal observers” move in and out with the mob to record police. This “evidence gathering” is propaganda made to portray the police in the worst possible light while specifically omitting any recordings of what their comrades do.
Independent press are subjected to assault and robbery by others in the group to maintain tight control over the narrative and any photographic evidence. Kyle Seraphin, a former-FBI agent who was assigned to do surveillance in Portland during the 2020 Antifa riots, says the green-hat “legal observers” were linked via radio with the mob and worked as auxiliary counter-surveillance.

The people of Philadelphia and others enabled this and allowed it to go on.
Endangering people’s lives and property and being rewarded for it is wrong.
We can cry about this all we want, but instead of trying to “fix” it” (which cannot be done), the Right MUST copy the tactics of the Left. We need lawyers and judges who will give payouts to conservative activist groups. There’s no way we can beat them if we have to give money to out causes AND theirs too.
Go for it.
That’s the point. Left has cares of lawyers constantly throwing cases. The right never works together and deserves what they get.
That was just a lawyer funding and job protection racket
> Why aren’t we suing assas off.<
These cases are never heard. The Soros DA settles the case with taxpayer money.

TRANTIFA....the terrorist arm of the cult
Umm...
What?
I thought antifa was just an idea. It’s starting to look more and more like u conspiracy.

That’s pretty shocking video. Obviously the guy with the posters was NOT the instigator. He had the right to stand there with his signs & state his point of view. The fact that the police claimed he was the problem tells us we can’t trust them anymore. Maybe it IS time to defund the police.
“Through a developed network of radical leftist legal groups, like the National Lawyers Guild,…”
It would be a darned shame if some motivated individual started tracking these people down and…
I’d never advocate such a thing.
Nope, not me.

My state has been throwing left wing rioters into state prison since 2014.
I don’t know what other states are waiting for.
So our tax dollars get funneled to these Antifa types, but do they pay taxes on this “income”? I remember that Al Capone was eventually brought down by tax evasion charges. This could be a means of attacking Antifa?
