Revealed: FBI investigated civil rights group as 'terrorism' threat and viewed KKK as victims

Bureau spied on California activists, citing potential ‘conspiracy’ against the ‘rights’ of neo-Nazis​

The FBI opened a “domestic terrorism” investigation into a civil rights group in California, labeling the activists “extremists” after they protested against neo-Nazis in 2016, new documents reveal.
Federal authorities ran a surveillance operation on By Any Means Necessary (Bamn), spying on the leftist group’s movements in an inquiry that came after one of Bamn’s members was stabbed at the white supremacist rally, according to documents obtained by the Guardian. The FBI’s Bamn files reveal:

• The FBI investigated Bamn for potential “conspiracy” against the “rights” of the “Ku Klux Klan” and white supremacists..
• The FBI considered the KKK as victims and the leftist protesters as potential terror threats, and downplayed the threats of the Klan, writing: “The KKK consisted of members that some perceived to be supportive of a white supremacist agenda.”
• The FBI’s monitoring included in-person surveillance, and the agency cited Bamn’s advocacy against “rape and sexual assault” and “police brutality” as evidence in the terrorism inquiry.

The FBI’s 46-page report on Bamn, obtained by the government transparency non-profit Property of the People through a records request, presented an “astonishing” description of the KKK, said Mike German, a former FBI agent and far-right expert who reviewed the documents for the Guardian.

Hmm...., the FBI finally got around to investigating the violent, extreme liberal group 'By Any Means Necessary' and now they're being called out for defending the "KKK" and "white supremacists".
Actually, 'BAMN' is NOT a “Civil Rights Group”. They are a violent, insane Progressive Communist cult.
We may detest and despise the KKK and other such organizations for their words, but if it is words only we defend their right to say them, as repulsive as they are.
The Progressive Marxist Socialist Left not only has no forbearance or observance of the 1st Amendment rights of those they disagree with, but hypocritically defend a group like Antifa, OWS, and Black Lives Matters which has openly called for violence against law enforcement.
Any group that threatens physical violence against another group, no matter how disgusting that other group may be, is still in violation of the law and deserves to be investigated.
