Antifa was armed and masked. They were there for the express purpose of shutting down free speech.
So was the Tea Party during the healthcare town hall debates.
They shouted down their opponents and threw bottles ( many with M80's in them). They are caught on tape laughing about an old lady they near-missed with one of those explosives.
And where is this tape?
Antifa absolutely did not embrace the diversity of opinions there.
I was speaking about you, not them, when I said that. YOU do not embrace diversity.
Antifa DID charge those they disagreed with. Its on video.
Then produce that video. The one I saw, shows the crowd on the right, advancing toward the crowd on the left.
Antifa (a college professor no less) DID sneak between 2 people to crack the skull of an innocent man facing the other way with a heavy metal blunt object. It is all on video with audio and has been confirmed to not be altered.
Now that one I saw and that person is just as much a criminal as the guy in the blue shirt that hit the girl. I agree with you on that incident.
Real Americans are sick of the fake accusations by leftist which are overwhelmingly proven to be hoaxes or outright lies.
Give me 3 examples of fake accusations by the left.
If Antifa believes innocent until proven guilty,
Again, I was referring to you when I made that statement, because you keep accusing me of things that you haven't proven, as we will see again below.
why was bike lock victim meted out punishment for sitting on the curb?
The person with the bike lock, should be locked up.
Once again, you are outright lying despite all evidence that proves motive, intent and video evidence of violent assault with deadly weapons.
I saw one assault with a deadly weapon. Produce the video of people throwing bottles and M80's.
You may agree that 45%+ of American citizens are deplorable and deserve to be beaten into submission, but you are very wrong that it is American to do so.
Why would you think that?
This is why y'all keep losing more and more.
Losing what? Certainly not this debate. You're getting your ass whupped.
This is why you lost the Independents and are losing any remaining moderate Democrats.
I didn't lose anything. I'm not a Democrat and I'm not an Independant.
Pro Antifa is anti free speech. Pro Antifa is pro violence. Pro Antifa is pro crime. This is clear as day to non left-wing-by-any-means-necessary Americans.
By
"any-means-necessary", means you are pro-violent and pro-crime.
In America, you are free to believe whatever you believe. I hope y'all keep it up, frankly. The Midwest, The South and a third of The West are disgusted with this behavior and are getting angrier and angrier by the day.
We're free to believe whatever we want to believe, but if we exercise that right, we are then threatened by people getting angrier and angrier. That's not being free to believe. Being threatened for your beliefs, is not freedom.
We have no idea how one could possibly be for the hostile, masked rioters throwing deadly weapons at whichever random person is close enough to hit.
You support the guy in the blue shirt, you tell me.
We have no idea why hate speech is promoted for the left, but civil but dissenting opinions of the right are considered criminal...
Stop right there! I have to pull my pant legs up. I don't want to get them dirty from if your rant turns into a heavy flow.
... and those people deserve to be physically assaulted until they shut up.
Who needs to be physically assaulted until they shut up? Or is this like the "free to believe" thing again?
I don't care if their name means "anti fascist."
Are you defending fascists?
Their actions clearly show they are extremely anti-democracy, very nearly anarchist. They use fascist methods so they aren't living up to their name.
No different than the "bagger nation". Except they are probably a lot smarter.
Its ok with you and much of the extreme left because you agree that the other side deserves it. Its not Ok with you and much of the extreme left if the right uses the exact same tactics against you. America sees the double standards. Citizens are calling out the B.S. more and more. The pendulum is swinging. Dishonest tactics (which both sides use) have lost most of their effectiveness.
Now you sound like Knute Rockne.
I am still waiting for someone to explain to me why an angry, armed, masked person screaming hateful things to me while running at me is not considered threatening and I should just stand still long enough to hear him out. We all know that person isn't there to discuss anything.
Exactly! Like the guy in the blue shirt.
You can pretend they were peaceful protesters all you want.
I didn't say they were peaceful protesters.
We both know you are lying.
Another baseless accusation.
Real Americans don't make those; 'mericans do.
