Antifa Rioters Threaten Livestreamer Who Filmed Them Destroying Property in Berkeley
PJ Media ^ | 08/07/2018 | Debra Heine

Posted on 08/07/2018 10:31:12 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

An independent journalist who videotaped a mob of antifa rioters destroying property in Berkeley, Ca., on Sunday described on Fox News how they threatened him into backing off.

“They basically confronted me, and said, ‘Get out of here, the police aren’t here, so they can’t help you,’" Ford Fischer told host Sandra Smith Monday evening on Fox's “The Story.”

Fischer, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of livestreaming service News2Share, was in Berkeley to cover the “No to Marxism” rally and counter demonstrations led by communist and antifa groups.

He told Smith that he followed a group of  "Black Bloc" antifa rioters after they broke off from the main protest at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park.

The journalist videotaped the rioters smashing the windows of a U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office and posted the footage on Twitter.

“From across the street, I was able to film and zoom in really tight,” said Fischer, who added that after damaging the recruiting office, “somebody threw a lit torch into a dumpster, basically trying to create a dumpster fire.”

Fischer said he was then accosted by members of the Black Bloc, and told to leave -- or else.

There was one report that busses for the “antifa” and “white supremacist” unloaded in the same area. If true, one may wonder who the “white supremacists” really were. Reichstag fire anyone? Gleiwitz incident?

These antifa thugs remind me of the Tienanmen Square event in China when the powers that be finally had enough of them and gunned them down where they rioted.

I can empathize with those who made the decision to do that now. A new appreciation if you will.

Antifa doesn’t protest; they riot violently. At some point some government entity will make an example of them when they push it too far one too many times. Of course the left will wail incessantly via the colleges, media, and Hollyweird would make a dozen made-for-tv movies and a dozen more for the big screen.

A skilled sniper could pink mist a few of them too. Several trained snipers could mist a lot of them all at one time. Never hurts to dream; right? So sick of these thug punks. They are only brave in a mob.

By showing up, and disrupting, physically abusing, frightening, bullying people at sometimes the most minor of venues they are successfully preventing many people from getting out, and rallying for their opposition.

Just more bullying tactics to persuade the right to stay home. It’s their goal to clear the streets of anybody, but them, and their supporters.

By the use of extraordinary, alarming, loud intimidation they make their World appear dominant, and ours seem futile. It’s their tactic to win. They haven’t anything else.

Exactly. That’s why we’re worryinh in Ardsley NY. The local antifa cell was scared off by the fine men and women of the NYPD and have decamped to a peaceful suburban village with very small police force. The antifa in Ardsley has infiltrated the local high school with guidance counselors who will indoctrinate the students and pliable board of ed members.

Smith asked him, “Why were you doing that?”

I wanted him to shout, “Because you journos won’t do your job!”

I agree 100% total losers. Just look at their mugshots! They all look like those “Meth heads before / after” articles on the Internet.

I doubt if Antifa will ever try to disrupt a protest wielding masks and bats in a strong 2nd Amendment state.

...and the media wonders why we hate their f-ing guts and rightly call them enemies as the NEW media does the job of citizen journalism. The media undermines the country and emboldens these a-hole terrorists. There will be a day of reckoning if there is justice and we decide to fight for America.

Bingo! These mob cowards won’t do this in free states where people can stand their ground and carry legally without a permit even though the antifa thugs could do the same. They are cowards. They only do this where their only threat is the police and they have to operate at a set of standards preventing them from killing these antifa perps.

Deadly Force is the only way this stops.
Whether it’s cops, National Guard, fed-up citizenry, or whomever.

No different than a playground bully - but with these maggots it’s a few thousand perpetual adolescents with a smattering of anarchic terrorists egging them on.
Meanwhile, their narcissism/sociopathies are being given airtime and active encouragement by the traitorous 5th column of presstitute cheerleaders.

We’re at about the ~1934 point when the Nazis could’ve been stopped before they drug Germany into collective national insanity.
It’s time for the gloves to come off.

Wow. I know that one key organizer of the white nationalist was an Obama supporter. Sad there is just no curiosity among "journalists", only reporting along the party line.

Honesty and true curiousity are killers for “journalism.”

They just don’t mix!
