I'm... pretty sure... yep, I specified LEGALLY denouncing, shouting down, etc. etc. When Antifa is violent, I condemn them, as I did in the California incident. That said, I stand by exactly what I said in he post I quoted. You don't like it? Deal with it.
I do think it's deflection. It'd be really easy for the President to make concrete statements, but he chooses his language carefully. It is clear to me he wants the support of this part of his voting base. And his puppets are dancing at the ends of his strings on social media everywhere.You really need to read up on antifa if you think criticism is deflection.
These guys are on par with the nazis you saw this weekend. If not, worse.
Not worse, for one simple reason. Antifa, at this point in time, is still primarily about stopping the racist trash you are equating them with. Some are anarchists and they do promote the same violence the white nats do, they are not choir boys. They do not believe law enforcement can stop the white nats and believe they have to fill the void.You really need to read up on antifa if you think criticism is deflection.
These guys are on par with the nazis you saw this weekend. If not, worse.
I'm not sure I want to have this conversation if you don't grasp the concept. It appears that you are saying Antifa are racists.......because they are trying to fight racism.
Comparing the violence perpetrated by Antifa to this point with the violence of the white supremacist movement in the US is ludicrous, hence, the "who cares". Again, you're trying to make some equivalence comparing minor battery to a mass murderer. How many folks did Antifa kill in Charlottesville? How many did the white supremacists kill? Kthanksbye.
The question isn't an attempt to trick, and I meant what I said, at least you admit it. IMHO most people saying the "alt left" is the violent group, had no right to be there and in fact violated the white supremacist civil rights... are being honest, for the most part, when they say they aren't championing vile nazis/kkk ideology, they see themselves rather as standing up for Trump.
Just a reminder of what the left is gushing over this past week.
9/11 and Spain would not be the same, your argument is Ms. Heyer was a participant in her death, those other victims were just going about their lives, she made a choice to join in a protest, a choice you say you feel was at the least unwise.
Only profound fools went to the protest, both sides.Stupid woman would be alive if she had stayed home and protested via email.
That's Columbia SC when the flag came down. They are turning towards the capital. At that time my wife was closing one restaurant and opening another a couple blocks, other side of the capital, on that street. And yes, they were being laughed at.
Yes it is, and probably how it would be handled if northern conservatives would let these people alone. I still don't get why northerners are so worked up about this crap, it has nothing to do with them, but it was a home town, counter protesting, southerner woman killed by a northerner conservative man there to protest a monument coming down.
Ha, you know nothing about the south, northerners are on the second lowest rung of the ladder, just above Muslims and tied with Hispanics. Trust me, black or white, there is no northerner telling them what to do, and in fact you will get a back fire effect if northerners push telling them to keep the monuments.
Who said it was. Pretty sure the Klan and neonazi white supremacists have a healthy head start in your silly little game anyway.
I've read about a drunk, not someone with a fist in the air screaming black lives matter.
Well, as is pointed out regularly on this board re Islam, it isn't AA, Jews, gays... responsibility to take on radical white Christian extremists, it's mine as a white Christian.
You really need to read up on antifa if you think criticism is deflection.

The Natzis aren't racist either then. Unless they only hate black Jews.
