A statue was coming down. Those on the right were the ones carrying weapons as part of their protest. Those on the left carried signs protesting the protesters. A man fron the right drove his vehicle into a crowd of leftist protesters.
How do you still see this as something violent from those on the left when they weren't the ones being violent?
Oh that's right. Your hero is tRump. You see nothing else but what he does and how he behaves as a good thing, no matter how he tramples on the constitutional rights of others.
Punch a Nazi in the face I'm sure is a peaceful chant. Antifa isn't a peaceful organization. If you don't think there hasn't been violence from the left as well, you just haven't been paying close attention. I've literally seen it with my own eyes in Portland.
I don't think that it's uncalled for, but there is a segment of the left, mostly young, white and male who likes to go out and fight with the alt right. I don't know what good denying that they exist does for your case.
I agree that calling everything a 'mob' makes no sense. That's just a right wing buzz word of the moment. But to deny that the left has done any political violence is crazy talk. A left wing activist tried to assassinate several congressmen. Every alt right protest is met with a violent response. I don't know how that can be denied.
