Recently, I learned from family, friends, and neighbors what happened when Antifa, seeking to cause havoc, came to an Italian-, Irish-, and now Albanian-American Bronx neighborhood and another almost exclusively Italian-American Bronx neighborhood nearby.
Apparently, when confronted by an organized and motivated opposition, they decided that discretion was the better part of valor and retired from the field of battle.
How unexpected. When their cowardice was exposed, they took their ball and went home — or, perhaps, to another area where they knew they would not face resistance to their riotous depredations.
The one Bronx neighborhood, which is residential but has many small businesses on the main thoroughfare, did not suffer the riots, looting, arson, and violence that have been prevalent in cities and towns across America. When Antifa came for it, the Italians, Irish, and Albanians, armed with pistols, rifles, baseball bats, swords, and knives, merged onto the main thoroughfare, blocking it and other tertiary streets. Faced with armed resistance, Antifa's forces were compelled to accept who and what they are, a band of spoiled white college kids who like to break things, play dress-up, and pretend they are a force to be reckoned with.

I think he might be missing a couple of zeros.......

Last numbers I’d heard puts it at between 5 to 7 hundred million.
Perhaps he’s just wishful thinking.
New math. The extra zeroes are invisible.
I DO feel better!!!
bttt
I first read this story over an hour ago, and I STILL feel better. I hope it lasts all day.
And not one shot was fired in either confrontation.
That would have really made the point.
Yeah, we probably have that many in a good size metro area or large city.
They must be the 20-25% of New Yorkers who vote republican.
“There are certain sections of New York, Major I wouldn’t advise you to try to invade.”—Rick to Gestapo officer in Casablanca.
All the while, the police mostly protect antifa but let conservative and patriot groups be attacked and hurt by antifa while doing nothing to protect us.
The police in general, are absolutely choosing sides and following illegal orders by the local government leadership to protect antifa and arrest patriots.

Soros big mistake is he failed to realize the resolve of REAL Americans...and the lack of resolve of those little snowflake cowards he hired.
The whole thing is staged to look like its a national movement when its obviously not, as the despicable liberal media is attempting to portray it.
Oh yeah and on this point fox news is as bad as the rest.
“”I think he meant 300 to 400 MILLION guns.””
I believe that number to be way low.
Englewood, Neighborhood in Chicago.
Daryl Smith, resident who directed a counter protest to eject the Black lives Matter group and prevented any damage to his neighborhood. “A lot of people saying the looting sparked from Englewood. We’re not having that. It didn’t spark from Englewood,” Smith said. “Those [looters] are opportunists, and we’re tired of Englewood getting a black eye for any and everything that happens.”
And Charles McKenzie, of a community violence-prevention group called God’s Gorillas, concurred, saying “We refuse to let anyone come to Englewood and tear it up
Soros, being a European and a city-dweller, does not--cannot--understand just how independent and ornery Americans are.
