Antifa is something of a brand, a “false front” for communists, Leftists and anarchists. It is  meaningful to speak of “Antifa” as a defined group. It’s the same people at every protest. And every protest, a few get arrested, but no one is really punished. The implicit message: authorities will tolerate violent behavior.

  • Almost no one was punished for the riots on President Trump’s inauguration day.

  • A professor was given probation for hitting a Trump supporter’s head with a bike lock during the “Battle Of Berkeley.”

  • Leftist street fighters at the 2017 Unite The Right Rally in Charlottesville were let go.

  • Even if you assume the absolute worst about James Fields who ran over a pedestrian, one still must grapple with the indisputable truth, confirmed by an independent report, that the leadership of the city and police department deliberately conspired to enable violence in order to shut down a legally permitted rally. This is beyond dereliction of duty; it is a monstrous crime. It is what enabled the death of Heather Heyer.
