Left-Wing Agitators Call For Escalated Tactics In Response To Charlottesville
Daily Caller ^ | 08/14/2017 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 08/14/2017 2:13:23 PM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

Far-left agitators are calling for an escalation in tactics following this weekend’s violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. Many of the same groups that have organized violent demonstrations in Berkeley, California and elsewhere are now calling for an aggressive response to the violence in Charlottesville. Far-left “anti-fascist” (or antifa) figures are advising agitators to do the job that police won’t: shutting down “fascists” and prevent them from organizing. Radical left-wingers have for months justified violence as a way to fight back against “fascism” and “racism” — terms that they have applied not just to white nationalist fringe groups but to prominent figures on the right as well.

Yup. Not a single thing was done against the violent AntiFa thugs. They’re emboldened and they’ll violently attack any right-wing rally with impunity.

Depends on the mayor/governor. Unfortunately, most big cities elect AHs as mayor. College Station, TX (not a big city) might be different.

The only hopeful thing is we still have AG Sessions.

I fail to see how still having Sessions as AG is a hopeful thing.

His first act, upon being sworn in, was to stand down and let the leftist dogs go after his boss. Since then, he's pretty much been AWOL where it counts.

Anyone who believes the left has a shot at violent overthrow of government

That's really where the left is going. They lost big league with Trump, and they're not happy.

Just check out all the violent events we've seen since Trump started his run. Everyone knows who's been perpetrating of the majority of violence.

You are correct! I could easily call you a name that has to do with grammar but I will not. I stand corrected!

I should clarify. The leftist/globalist don't want a violent take over of government, they want to infiltrate government with as many as possible making any opposition completely futile. JMO.

And they've done a really good job so far...Until Trump.☺

I wish there was a dang edit function after posting. Your correction was for a spelling/punctuation error, not a grammar error.

"Unite The Right" organizer, Jason Kessler, was an "CNN assignment editor"!

"Unite The Right" organizer, Jason Kessler, was an "CNN assignment editor"! And an Obama supporter? Judge for yourself.

He needs to call them out, prosecute, and go after their funders. If he doesn’t, he’s lost my vote. I find both sides equally despicable. Hire a stadium and let them kill each other for all I care.

Of course they should.

It's truly unfortunate that even President Trump gave them a pass while coming down hard on the group they viciously attacked.

When did Trump “give them a pass?”

“And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.””

I don’t see anything in there about antifa

“egregious display of hatred, bigotry, violence -- on many sides.”

The yellow journalist media turned this statement upside down to mean the opposite of what it says.

You seem almost as quick to condemn Trump as the media. Trump made a second statement on Sunday that included the KKK etc, after he talked to Sessions and the FBI. We do not have all the facts yet. Maybe Trump knows something we don't.

"Make no mistake - the antifa argument - that conservative or right-wing speech CONSTITUTES violence, and therefore voids first amendment protection and constitutes a defense to assault and mayhem as “self-defense” is an argument without limit, and if you all allow it to work when the victims are too far right for your taste, it is an argument that will be knocking on YOUR front door before you know it."

I'm glad you didn't call me a name. Thanks for being a good sport about it :-)

Where's Sessions?

Probably busy recusing himself from this matter.

He will be found guilty. Politically there is no other way.

First, they came for the Nazis. And I was not a Nazi, so I said nothing.
