    Department of Homeland Security, FBI Consider Antifa’s Activities as ‘Domestic Terrorist Violence’

    Politico reports that now both the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have classified the group's violence as "domestic terror activity."

    The report cites confidential law enforcement documents. It claims law enforcement is concerned that Antifa is using incidents like the violent clashes in Berkeley with white supremacist groups to broaden its recruiting and fundraising efforts

    FBI, Homeland Security warn of more ‘antifa’ attacks

    Confidential documents call the anarchists that seek to counter white supremacists ‘domestic terrorists.’

    Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” according to interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by POLITICO.

    Now maybe liberal mayors will no longer order their police departments to turn a blind eye to their violent activities. But then again given how many are willing to defy the law with regards to immigration probably not.

      Looks like a whole lot of people owe President Trump an apology.

        Good job. Always disliked Antifa, as does many liberals by the way.

          The attempt of extremists here on TWeb, as well as elsewhere, try to tie these groups as part of the mainstream. Antifa being part of liberalism, and white supremacism being part of conservatism. Both are lies.

            To be fair with you I'm a bit more concerned about the white supremacists, its really hard to gauge their numbers, but so far they're harmless. Even in Denmark we have neo-nazies and nobody cares about them. They have a little skinhead nazi-parade every year with people booing at them, and the police showing up, a fight breaks out and the nazies are broken up as a group. There can't be any significant amount of nazies in the US.

            The Alt-Right racists (racial realists as they call themselves) are a bit more concerning. It really is hard to tell how many they are. I think many young men get drawn into that movement because of the inherent anti-PC in saying racist things.

            However all these liberal radical elements are something that really angers me, because they pretty much stole the light from the BLM movement. I also blame the news for giving too much focus to that part of the story, but even then, the tragedy of the terrorist who killed all the cops is sad.

              They're not completely harmless and we should continue to keep an eye on them, but compared to the violent movements on the left like antifa they are not a major problem.

                yep both sides as Trump said ("many sides") are thugs and a problem. I include the BLM in that too.

                maybe now Tassy and Co. won't continue to defend them as the good guys who just want to fight the evil nazis.

                    An interesting development.

                    Source: Public School Teachers Behind Violent Antifa Group


                    Public school teachers are behind a leading far-left militant group that is part of the Antifa network that federal officials say is committing “domestic terrorist violence.”

                    By Any Means Necessary, which has played a key role in riots in Berkeley, Sacramento and elsewhere, has dozens of public school teachers among its members, including among its most prominent leaders.

                    The FBI and Department of Homeland Security began paying closer attention to Antifa groups in general after BAMN and other extremists started a riot and attacked marchers at a white nationalist rally in Sacramento last July, Politico reported on Friday. The Sacramento violence left at least 10 people hospitalized, several of whom had knife wounds.

                    One of BAMN’s most prominent organizers is Yvette Felarca, a Berkeley middle school teacher and pro-violence militant. Felarca currently faces charges of inciting a riot for her role in the Sacramento violence.


                    After BAMN and other antifa groups staged violent protests in Berkeley to keep right-wing author Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking, Felarca defended her group’s acts of violence. BAMN was able to cancel another event, this time an April speech by pro-Trump author Ann Coulter, by promising a repeat performance of the Milo riots.

                    The FBI and DHS say Antifa groups like BAMN are engaging in “domestic terrorist violence,” according to the Politico report.

                    It does seem rather common to find out that college and university professors are identified among those among antifa rioting at the lager incidents.

                      In the last decade in the US, the number of right-wing terrorist attacks has been about double that of Muslim terrorist attacks, with a third of the successful right-wing terrorist attacks causing fatalities. Whereas the fatalities from left-wing terrorist attacks...? ~tumbleweed~

                      How, not merely utterly delusional, but willfully wrong and unhinged do you have to be to seriously claim that "the violent moments on the left... are... [the] major problem"?! You've crossed boundary from laughable stupidity into literal insanity.

                        In fairness, it wasn't antifa that caused the problem in Charlottesville. They were certainly there. The one count I saw said about 20 of them. But all the accounts suggest that as long as they were separate, both sides were non-violent, although I think the Right was menacing. Based on reports from both sides, it's reasonably clear that the violence was relatively low-level, and occurred from hot tempers on both sides.

                        It's not that violence that bothered me. Without proper policing or proper marshalls, it was no surprise. The two things of concern were the one fatality, which I would classify as terrorism, and the presence of Nazis. I don't believe all the rightists were actually Nazis, but it doesn't appear from the recordings that they separated themselves from it.

                          "THEY'RE NOT KILLING PEOPLE!!!" Screams dimbulb while flat ignoring riots, suppression of rights, beatings, rapes, stabbing, and other kinds of violence extreme liberal mobs have been responsible for. Of course the increases in cop killings directly linked to extreme liberals is too ignored. Once a liberal hack, always one eh?

                            Muslim terrorist attacks ARE left wing terrorist attacks, and the right wing numbers are padded up. left wingers and centrists (libertarians) are responsible for majority of terrorism.

                            You also continue to miss the point, which is that left wing terrorism is aided and abetted by the state, whereas right wing terrorism is not.

                            There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                              Charlottesville is hardly the only place antifa has been where violent rioting broke out.
