  • White Supremicisit groups posing as Antifa call for violence amid protests.

    A white supremicist group, "Identity Evropa" fake account has been removed after posing as Antifa and calling for violence amid the protests. D. Trump jr. directed his 2.8 million followers to the account in order to show how dangerous Antifa is. The President and the Atty General of the US have also, with no evidence to back it up, been accusing Antifa of fomenting the violence.

    See how prejudicial your thread is, Jim? Your Title says "groups", but the article says group. Can you discern the difference?

    Actually, I had wondered if there had been some false flag operations going on here in order to provoke a race riot. Particularly because a facebook post from a town about 60 miles from me is calling on all blacks to attack and kill all whites - men, women, and children. That particular area is fairly well known as a.. .um.... backwoods hillbilly anti-black neighborhood, so I suspect a fake account.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      That one group is just an example of the many groups that are doing the same, CP. In my commentary I specified the one group in question.

          This news sure makes the rioting sound much better.

            NYT published an article on this too. Adding

            It's weird how the NYT will defend antifa, lying about them, when that group has famously attacked journalists and reporters.

              Maybe they're scared they'll be attacked if the tell the truth. It often takes COURAGE to tell the truth, and I don't see a whole lot of that in "journalism" these days.

                Same thing at many of the Occupy protests. I wonder if they feel they're simply collateral damage in a greater cause.

                    That's most likely because it doesn't agree with what you want to hear.

                      Apparently Antifa can be violent, I haven't seen a whole lot of evidence supporting that, but if so, at least their violence is in defense from, and directed at, your beloved racist, hate filled, white supremecist, fascist groups on the right.

                        So you prefer violent communists to violent fascist?

                          No, I don't prefer violence in general, but I do prefer violent defenders of freedom and liberal democracy to violent fascists.

                              But Antifa is not about freedom. They actually use violence to stop speech.
