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.

I don’t know when, but at some point, and i can only speculate not in the too distant future, these commies are going to mess with the wrong guy/girl and all be sent to their eternal rest.

Destroying property because the left hates private property. Obviously none of this will be covered in the mainstream media.
Next, it’s drawing blood and blaming it on the normal people.

But the so-called “news” media reports this as violence at “far-right” rallies.

That already happened in Charlottesville and look how the media and social media reacted. The media including many Republicans turn them into Martyrs praising them for protesting “Nazis” and the guy got charged with murder.

Yep, and they were actually lynching people and wearing masks in public, just like the Klan, with impunity.

Regarding Charlottesville, I still want to know who paid for the Tiki torches, and the Nazi flags.

Its’ why they don’t do this in KY. We carry and have a pretty liberal right to defend ourselves with deadly force.

We don’t need the police to defend us.

“Destroying property because the left hates private property. Obviously none of this will be covered in the mainstream media.”

Whenever Big Media whores do cover it, they assure us the violence is ok, because the property is “insured”.

It’s necessary, too, even if SELF-insured.

IIRC, the name “Ford Fisher” rings a bell from Charlottesville, VA.

This fellow seems to be like a moth flittering around the porch light.

The liberal Berkeley mayor, obviously sympathetic to Antifa, told the police to stand down. JMHO.

Stop screwing around, and kill these bastards. This BS will continue until some legal authority has the guts to confront and put down these mad dogs.

I’m talking about someone deliberately putting a cap in their ass, not accidentally bumping a crowd with a car.

Probably they were commanded by their civilian overseers, not to provoke the "Black Block" activists, thereby enraging potential voters in the next election.
