Unbelievable
Here is what I don't understand. Where are our friends on the left denouncing these actions by antifa? When we saw white supremacist groups enact violence, virtually all of us that are right leaning denounced the actions. The guy in Charlottesville deserves as much prison time as they can give him. But when there is violence emanating from the left, all we get is crickets.
Lets be real. Some of our right leaning posters denounce white nationals, but with qualifiers. Such as, well there arent many of them in any case. I cant speak for anyone else, but I denounce any type of terrorist act, of which these are. But Im also not going to minimize the impact, or the number of people actually in Antifa.

And you shouldn't. Violence is violence. Both sides need to take care of their internal shit before they start casting stones. But you are the first to denounce this violence by antifa. And I'm not so sure you are "left leaning".
Antifa, white nationals, and any other fringe organizations can protests all they want. They have that right. Honestly, I prefer that they do, for two reasons. First, I want to know who they are. Second, I want the rest of the country to hear their message, just so everyone knows how stupid they are.
But as soon as violence occurs, we need to all condemn it loud and clear and prosecute those perpetrating that violence to the full extent of the law. For we all know, violence leads to more violence. And if that happens, antifa is going to need more than crowbars, fists, and milkshakes. I don't see it turning out well for antifa. Nor the GOP because that ass whooping will ultimately come back on the right.
