It is frightening, not in a physical sense, but that thoughts like this can be openly expressed: “taken over by protesters screaming that the group’s existence is a threat to the safety of students”.
Between these commissars, and the push to indicate Trump is mentally unstable, we are seeing ideas that hadn’t been expressed openly since the USSR threatened the West. The Trump mental issue is straight out of the Soviet handbook, where anybody not “with the program” obviously had to be insane (and they disappeared).
It is high time people who attempt to crush dissent are dealt with violently; they have every intention of dishing it out.
Intention? What are you talking about? Neo-Communists like this have attacked attendees to conservative speaker events at Berkeley and elsewhere, and rioted to shut them down. Civil authorities have looked on and taken little or no action.
So they have dished out violence, it goes well beyond intention, and it is long past time for a group like AntiFa to be dealt with as a criminal enterprise under RICO.
