The number of ways the reader is being intentionally misled by this sentence alone is startling.
The people waving "anti-fascist placards" are actual fascists.
The people protesting Sharia law were actual anti-fascists, but weren't the people who loudly call themselves anti-fascists.
Scuffles don't just break out on their own. Someone starts them. In this case, the fascists calling themselves "anti-fascists" have a doctrine to start these fights and this fight was started by them in accordance with that doctrine.
And the description "knocked an older woman to the ground" misleads in yet two more ways.
These people at the New York Times could not tell the truth if they were paid to do so.
Yes, but that’s okay we know the antifa pro terrorist was the lil bitch who knocked an old lady to the ground, and wow someone from our side took her sign away and he’s made to look like a bully of “teenage” girl.
First of all how does the NYT know the girls age for sure? She told them? okay
Also, why isn’t the antifa worm being called out for knocking a senior citizen to the ground?
The dude from our side who grabbed the sign was being kind.
