Rochester, Riots, and Deconstructing the Racist Revolution What happened Friday night in Rochester, New York, where a fascist so-called Antifa riot mob attacked and sacked local restaurants, is a template for what to expect for the next two months or longer.

Yet one of the most grotesque acts of vandalism came on Sunday when vandals toppled a statue of former slave Frederick Douglass in Rochester, N.Y. Vandals somehow removed the Douglass statue...
