California doesn’t need antifa, but the rest of the country sure does
Sacramento Bee ^ | August 29, 2017 | Erika D. Smith

Posted on 09/02/2017 5:55:39 AM PDT by artichokegrower

Apparently this is the part when I’m supposed to jump on the anti-antifa bandwagon. The anti-fascists, after all, were the ones who rolled into Berkeley last weekend looking like fancy ninjas, and they were the ones who beat up the white nationalists – not the other way around.

So the anti-fascists are bad, right? They’re all thugs and idiots who wear masks and carry shields, and deserve to be denounced and locked up?

Not so fast.

Poor Erika, she is promoting Antifa, which is a 95% White Militant group. And Erika is Black. We all know what happens when all white groups use violence. Think the KKK. Antifa will morph into the new KKK and start killing and hanging those whom they don’t like? Based on race, religion, size, height, beliefs, or sex? Antifa is just the beginning of a Pro-communist society where that group will make all the decisions on who lives or dies. This is the opposite of what America is all about, the opposite.

Why doesn’t the author go to these places instead of asking other people to do the dirty work?

Antifa comes to Alabama

Jim Bob: Hey is that some of those Antifa folks over there?

Billy Ray: Sure is. Here hold my beer.

Go to parts of Ohio or Indiana or South Carolina, antifa. Go stand up for people in Alabama and Mississippi. Go to Trump country.

She doesn't practice what she preaches:

Smith: Why I'm leaving Indianapolis

"Diversity," I would think would mean all kinds of communities living together in the same country. Erika seems to really be after some kind of homogenization under centralized control.

Here in California, we don’t have time for parents who don’t want their kids to learn about people who have “a girl brain but a boy body.” In fact, by law, parents can’t opt their children out of classroom discussions about gender and sexual orientation.

Everyone who advertises at the Bee needs to pull their ads. NOW. Every car dealer, every realtor, everyone.

here’s one that could happen to antifa goons or could it?

Say someone puts several cars in antifa neighborhoods plastered with Trump and MAGA stickers. What would happen? (one guess)

and suppose these cars were watched by the good guys who don’t like having their cars vandalized. The antifa goons might get the xxxxx beaten out of them. If this were to be done xx number of times a strong message might begin to emerge to the antifa goons and to the media. Back off !!

I hate to see this happen, but it could.

Illinois law is similar. It also prevents the perp from suing.

Why do we, the lucky residents of the bluest of blue states, need a black-clad army of militants to come to our rescue when every branch of government is dominated by Democrats? And not just any Democrats, but progressive Democrats.

The reporter has never read history. The Marxists hate liberals--and have some nasty plans for them.

Total hate crimes, by state, for 2015, per FBI statistics:

California - 837
Texas - 191
Indiana - 67
Kansas - 63
Georgia - 44
Oklahoma - 37
Idaho - 34
Alabama - 10
Wyoming - 2

Even adjusting for population, it does not seem that California is a notably safer place for minorities than red states.

My goodness...What a precious gathering.

A crowd dressed in black with helmets and masks.

I wonder what would happen if somebody lit a bunch of Black Cat firecrackers and threw them in the crowd?

They are communists. Communists want chaos so they can bring the entire country down. They don’t care where it starts

I feel we are revisiting the Brownshirts of the 1930’s.

I certainly don’t agree with every violent tactic employed by antifa

So, some of them them, maybe all but one.

This isn’t new; the names and signs are different, but they are the same losers we’ve always had - just more consolidated.

In “The Exorcist”, when the old priest arrives, the young one who witnessed the creepy events asked him if he wanted the background before he started (the old man wanted to get right down to business). The old priest asked, “Why?” As the young priest started describing the various demons/personalities he had encountered in the girl, the old priest cut him off: “There is only one”.

This collection of leftists (feminists, unassimilated minorities, environmentalists, Bolsheviks, illegal aliens, etc.) are the same enemies this republic always faced; they just communicate better with technology.

Don’t worry folks, there is a State Law in California disallowing Taxpayer Funds for Travel to a lot of states like these.
