Antifa arrests coming, concerns over riots heading to suburbia, government source says

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.

I live in suburbia, close to a major military base. We are Army, Navy, Airforce and Marines current and former. Antifa are welcome to enjoy our hospitality.

All wars are won by logistics.

Getting protestors into the suburbs, riot and loot, and then get out is going to be tough. I doubt this is practical as a tactic.

The ACLU is going to care about certain civil rights again, they didn’t give an F about people who were put under house arrest during the coronavirus lockdowns.

Antifa, bring your stuff to the country, expect to take fire.

I am proficient at 100 yards and my wife, if really pissed, will unload a whole magazine on your butt.

She is a momma bear.

"Local and state authorities have to get a grip on this because if it moves to the suburbs, more people will die."

Rioters need to die. That is the proper course of action for dealing with rioters. Open season. No limit.

Especially the "get out" part.

Turkey shoots are very different depending on the state in which you live.

If you have a ‘castle doctrine’ law, you’re okay. But in many states you must wait until the bad guys break your law down and come at you.

We live in a tight community. I live right next to the AA section of our town. And I tell ya’ what. I’m friends with many of them as them with us. We won’t put up with that $hit. Period.

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

You could still loose everything you own in civil court without a reasonable justification for using force.

There was a small protest on our town green this afternoon. My wife was worried. I told her how you could lock down the area with 5 vans. I guess folks could run around them, but they couldn’t get their cars out.

And it’s a long walk through areas where they would be “exposed” before they got to the safety of their city.

I’m in Virginia I don’t want to have to deal with the arrest and bullshit afterwards, though. So it will really have to be life threatening for me to do so.

It’s a shame I’ll have to wait until the very last minute and may even lose my life because the liberals took over Virginia.
