Charlie Kirk shot at an event in Utah

[WallFlowerActive]

Some of them are criminals, yeah. Most aren't. The vast majority of antifa-related protests are non-violent.

Most religious people aren’t violent.  And communism, the religion was just the state of mostly peaceful people.  And yet millions still dead.

Some of them are criminals, yeah. Most aren't. The vast majority of antifa-related protests are non-violent.

its not rocket science.

 The one thing Antifa absolutely cannot allow is reasoned debate and polite but firm disagreement. They categorically reject the idea that a Charlie Kirk might engage with the political process, convince and persuade, mobilize potential voters, win elections, and have his policy preferences implemented in a republic of ordered liberty.
Instead, they use violence in hopes of forcing their opponents to join them in the political gutter. If you hire security to protect yourself, they’ll claim you’re a fascist using armed guards to intimidate your opponents. If you defend yourself when they attack you, they’ll claim you’re a white supremacist and seek to have you thrown in jail. If they murder you in cold blood, they’ll say it was an act of self-defense because your words are violence.
Was the alleged assassin a “card-carrying” member of an official Antifa group, whose members can be identified and exposed? We should certainly demand that law enforcement leave no stone unturned until they can positively rule out such a possibility. 
 But was he Antifa? Clearly.

A report on Antifa was published in The Washington Post—conducted by a team of researchers that analyzed Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests—that found that Antifa's presence at such events "greatly increased the risk of violence."
Two sociology academics at Penn State analyzed data on the 2020 civil unrest and concluded the presence of Antifa at an event made violence much more likely.

This in no way disproves that the majority of antifa protests are non-violent, and that most aren't criminals, which was what I wrote.

When people hear the word Antifa, they think of violence, rainbow mafia, dyed hair, piercings, tattoos and other degeneracy.

Whether that’s their goal or not is irrelevant.

Walk up to ANY antifa crowd and offer an opposing viewpoint and let us know how that works out for you.

[FlyersFan]

Some of them are criminals, yeah. Most aren't. The vast majority of antifa-related protests are non-violent.

No, they engage in violence and arson and looting and assault and a whole lotta' vandalism.   
All to intimidate and push their version of reality on people.
Try discussing an alternate viewpoint with them and you take your life in your hands.

It's generally a bad idea to walk up to a protesting crowd and offer an opposing viewpoint. That's not unique to antifa.

Really? Because Charley Kirk would've sat down and had a discussion with you. I'd bet money so would any conservative.

[Ignorant]

Any conservative? Lol, that's a wildly delusional take
