CNN's take on Antifa: Peace through violence - Hot Air
"CNN published an article today based on interviews with members of Antifa. The headline notes, āActivists seek peace through violence.ā That seems to suggest thereās a real problem with what Antifa is doing but the rest of the article comes across as sympathetic to the group,even to their violence
Antifa activists often donāt hesitate to destroy property...
Scott Crow is literally saying his group breaks the law (assault, vandalism, etc.) when it determines people are āevilā and delivers extra-legal justice. Thatās not at all how a government of laws operates.
...
Now weāre arguing that violence is a reasonable response to āhate speech.ā At least no one is trying to claim James Madison for support. As for the idea that history will decide, thatās another way Antifa is saying they donāt believe the actual law as it exists now applies to them. Thatās why they wear masks and dress the same, so they can get away with it."
