You're asking me not to believe my eyes. Black bloc tactics, open and public coordination on social media and arrest records for Antifa members. Many of them are arrested and released without charges in Seattle and Portland. But I never called them thugs. If anything, I think that most of them are being victimized. They are caught up in an endless cycle of hate. I pity them but I won't make excuses for them either.
I trust that you could find them if you were so inclined. I'm not here to persuade you or provide you with a research article. I could care less about whether you believe me or not.
Well stated Scott, Anyone standing at the ready with links to prove that the rioters were all nice people and the bad people were all conservative whites...give me a break. I have eyes, I saw it live. You won the "link battle" cypher. The rest of us don't need links, we saw it, in person.
How quickly this turns into insults - you're telling me, on a public forum, to STFU? Would you say that to my face? Doubt it. Let's discuss this reasonably. You asked for links, took me 30 second to look up two of my favorites.
Shockingly, in the NY Times (yes, I'm a subscriber) - to say that rioters are all right wing white is just not true.
I think it's fair to say that mobs tend to fly off the handle quickly, irrespective of their Anitfa, BLM or far right origins. There is no generalizing about white supremacists, BLM, Anitfa etc. Exactly what point is being made by destroying small local biz as well as virtue signaling Nike or Starbucks? Exactly what point are you making (incorrectly) by saying this is all right wing (BTW, if you read any of my comments, I'm not "right wing").

Here's another one of my favs...the Nike store in NYC:

Suspiciously mixed race as well.
