Antifa arrests coming, concerns over riots heading to suburbia, government source says
Fox News ^ | 6-2-2020 | Hollie McKay

Agitators behind the rioting that has paralyzed the country over the past week want to move into more suburban areas, a government intelligence source has told Fox News.

Much of the worry stems from the notion that many in well-armed, suburban, and rural neighborhoods won't hesitate to exercise their Second Amendment rights and elevated anxieties could lead to heavy confrontation.

"Antifa knows this," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Local and state authorities have to get a grip on this because if it moves to the suburbs, more people will die."

Several analysts pointed to places that have served as something of "testbed" locations – including Madison, Wis., which was ransacked Saturday night, along with quiet pockets of Charleston, S.C.

While it remains murky as to who exactly is behind the ongoing turbulence taking place in dozens of cities nationwide, much of the finger-pointing has been directed toward Antifa, a radical left-wing anti-fascist outfit.

But most officials and analysts have surmised that there a number of players and agendas with regards to the rioting, which has overshadowed the peaceful protests calling out racial inequalities and police brutality directed toward African-Americans.

In Texas it's after sunset, then force can be used. But that's criminal statues.

That statute applies to theft or vandalism. In Texas, deadly force can be used anytime, day or night, to thwart murder, rape, robbery, arson, kidnapping, or burglary.

Burglary doesn't just refer to a private residence but includes business establishments, motor vehicles, boats, and aircraft.

I was trying to suggest that the protestors would not fit the normal profile of people in my town.

As I drove past the “protest” today the little high school girls were getting out of their black Mercedes SUV with their hand made signs. I had to shake my head at their complete detachment to what was going on.

And the moms were on the sidewalk, cheering them on as if it were a soccer game.

I have heard this, or variations of this ever since 2017. When I see it happening I will believe it. Until then it is just so much bullshit. I have been fooled too many times.

I got a text today from a friend back in Georgia. Her son and his family live in Cedar Rapids Iowa and today his neighbor took a bullet thru the window of his house. Mob related not confirmed but nothing like that has ever happened where he lives before now.

While Antifa operates as something of a leaderless militant wing, sources closely engaged in the matter said that there are identifiable top brass driving and inciting criminal activity.

Antifa has been well established throughout Europe for decades. It's an *international* terrorist organization. They may be smart about hiding their leaders' identities, but it's hard to hide the funding flows.

Had our "intelligence community" been focused on decapitating Antifa instead of on a domestic coup d'état, they could have had these terrorists rolled up already.

I believe you’re giving them too much credit. There’s some dumb mf’s out there - smart people don’t join Antifa. Black people are being opportunistic, Antifa think they’re going to win their revolution. Those morons, even in small numbers, will try...

Mossberg and I will be fine. It’s the white liberals that are in for a shock.

I would HIGHLY doubt that these Anarchists will be trekking into the suburbs and country side.

Their threats are for effect. They want to scare the suburbanites and make them afraid to leave their homes or go out to the stores and what not.

This is all a physiological play to get them more air time.

Going out to the suburbs/country side would disperse them too much and would be just small groups that easily be rounded up by town/county/state police.

My liberal daughter and her liberal husband live in Middleton (SIL works in Sun Prairie but he’s working from home right now). I have been there to visit a couple times and I agree with your assessment (looloo land). One of the museums in Madison had a big sculpture exhibit in honor of all the black men “murdered” by the police over the last few years.

They mostly come out at night - which is why I now have a thermal scope that can detect the heat signature of a field mouse at 100 yds.

Disagree. The people running Antifa are smart and very sophisticated insurrectionists — not to say that some of their followers are not stupid beyond measure. Hitler’s Brown Shirt louts were not smart but they (like the Antifa thugs) were manipulated behind the scenes by very smart and evil people. Ditto Antifa. I’m 99% sure it’s financed by Soros. He didn’t break the Bank of England by being dumb

If we are told the head of Antifa is anyone other than Soros himself, this will be all for naught and no one will belive it.
