President Trump was right when he placed blame Saturday for the riots tearing apart cities around the country on Antifa and other radical left-wing groups. He should now go one step further and declare Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
The rioting this past week was ostensibly sparked by the death of George Floyd – a 46-year-old black man who was arrested by Minneapolis police Monday for allegedly trying to use a counterfeit $20 bill to buy cigarettes. There is no question that Floyd’s death was horrific and should never have happened. But in fact, many of the rioters affiliated with Antifa simply and cynically have used Floyd’s tragic death as an excuse to spread mayhem and destruction.
The officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck – Derek Chauvin – was charged Friday with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Chauvin and any other officers who go on trial for Floyd’s death should be punished to the full extent the law allows if convicted. But Floyd’s killing should not be used as an excuse by anyone to justify rioting and domestic terrorism that in many cases has victimized African-American small-business owners and others in many cities.

No. Both Antifa and BLM are equally violent movements. And both are equally liberal, funded by liberal nonprofits and agreeing with social justice liberal politics.
President Trump should have a carrot and stick approach. A carrot to those who desire to express themselves peacefully and the stick for those who do not.
Way too easy to launder money anonymously. And if Iran or China or North Korea, etc. are part of the chain you won’t find the actual donor. Bitcoin is MADE for something like this . . . another reason I think people who promote it are fools.
When the Antifa protesters show up in identical uniforms, masks and carrying identical shields and clubs You know it was organized by someone. You should be able to find out who supplied those.
Was that the only time they ever lied to you?
