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

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.

They are delusional enough to kill, maim, attack and destroy a country under the guise of saving the country. It is as Orwellian as one can get.

We must fight back.

Give me a break. 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.

Antifa only wants to do their thugishness in jurisdictions where Democrats control the police, both at the local and state level.

They do NOT want to go into areas where their opponents not only have CCW, but juries would be likely to decide that people getting beaten up were acting in self defense when they shot the antifas.

Crossing state lines with violent intent raises it to a federal conspiracy offense. The author is a libtard.

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

Go to Idaho. We've got something for you:

TITLE 18
CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS
CHAPTER 40
HOMICIDE
18-4009. JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE BY ANY PERSON. Homicide is also justifiable when committed by any person in either of the following cases:

1. When resisting any attempt to murder any person, or to commit a felony, or to do some great bodily injury upon any person; or,
2. When committed in defense of habitation, property or person, against one who manifestly intends or endeavors, by violence or surprise, to commit a felony, or against one who manifestly intends and endeavors, in a violent, riotous or tumultuous manner, to enter the habitation of another for the purpose of offering violence to any person therein; or,
3. When committed in the lawful defense of such person, or of a wife or husband, parent, child, master, mistress or servant of such person, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit a felony or to do some great bodily injury, and imminent danger of such design being accomplished; but such person, or the person in whose behalf the defense was made, if he was the assailant or engaged in mortal combat, must really and in good faith have endeavored to decline any further struggle before the homicide was committed; or,
4. When necessarily committed in attempting, by lawful ways and means, to apprehend any person for any felony committed, or IN LAWFULLY SUPPRESSING ANY RIOT, or in lawfully keeping and preserving the peace.

Y'all come on down...

I think Nolte from Breitbart stated the obvious about the MSM and Antifa. The MSM is becoming irrelevant and so they now are approving of violence from a communist group like Antifa.

Antifa California does not need to leave the state to protect black people from oppression and terror. Oakland, CA has had 42 murders so far this year and 88 for all of 2016. Nearly all of these murder victims are black. Why don’t the brave members of Antifa take on the street gangs of Oakland, Richmond or Sacramento? No they would rather take on a senior citizen female Trump supporter.

You all notice how they pretty well behaved themselves at the rally in AZ.

AZ is a free carry and they knew it.

Simply put, they destroy what they could never create.

I love the authors emotional imagery saying he is expected to folow the unthinking mob and “get on the bandwagon”.

Civilization requires all members to be on the civilization bandwagon.

....Point is, I understand why the antifa movement exists and why it must continue to exist, belligerent though it may be...

The latest ANTIFA slogan is “No Trump, No Wall, No USA at All.” They are a threat to the security of the country.
And she thinks they should exist? Even the lunatic Mayor of Berkeley thinks they should be labeled and treated as a street gang.
Antifa is a Reason why Californians and others are “burying their guns” and stockpilng the dreaded hollow point ammunition.
