Well yeah..... isn't that obvious? So why the hell is Antifa falling for it? I guarantee that if nobody showed up to counter protest these yokels, eventually they would get bored and go home.
That's always been my point. Dont show up and Patriot prayers look like a bunch of fools waving American flags and Bible's while marching everywhere. Using a basketball references I always thought the best way to ice someone on the free throw line during a big moment is for the home crowd to be dead silent. Neither situation is realistic though, some people just can't help themselves.
The thing is, they don't really move when they protest. They pick a spot and they wait for Antifa to show up. And then after the police break it up, they get back on their buses and go home. So I wish everyone, including the media, would just ignore them when they show up.
How about instead of wishing everybody ignores them and blaming Antifa for falling for it, we blame them for being there in the first place with sole intention of antognizing and publicizing?
Because freedom of speech grants them the ability to be there. And to my knowledge they haven't marched through the streets destroying property or blocking freeways. I personally hate both groups.
Freedom of speech allow Antifa to counter protest and freedom of press allows the press cover the story. If your asking some one to punch you in the face, then they do it, is it all their fault? Do you still get to play the victim?
Don't equate them. One is a group full of Nazis the other speaks out against them. I don't agree with Antifa's tactics, but to equate them to the racists is fallacy and only done to keep a leftist "boogeyman" for the crazy right to rail against. Newsflash, PP should stop being so racist that people would counter protest against them. Equating them is bullshit.
Di Didn't equate them. 2.5 inches IS better. I wouldn't like either one. People screaming at me and blocking my freedom of movement can drop dead. Nazis can drop dead too. So I guess I do equate them. They both need to go to hell.
How do you know that no laws were broken? You can't carry a firearm near the President or a lot of other dignitaries without breaking a law. I'm sure there's some sort of menacing law. If not then there should be.
You had this happened to you? Probably not, but now are you or are you not more aware of their grievances with the Nazis?
So firstly, show me where those guys have damaged any property in Portland? Or blocked traffic? Antifa sucks. They destroyed that guys car just a few weeks ago. They might not care what color you are, but if you don’t think like they do, they are violent and destructive. That makes them just as bad as any racist organization.
You only say this because you're white and never have to deal with racism. It's a typical response from people who don't experience it. I actually don't blame you for saying this. You're completely wrong, but understand the response. It's a typical one from those who equate the two groups. But I'll refer you to a man you probably never heard of: Racism is man's gravest threat to man - The maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason. - Abraham J. Heschel
Antifa is pissed art the same people y'all are pissed at, the government AND its enforcers. Patriot Prayer are extreme, racist trumpets and are fueled by racism. In their eyes, I cannot be a patriot when I'm a MUCH better American than any of them will ever be.
