So far, all I've seen are masked thugs who attack people without provocation in public. Do they support some good causes? Maybe. Do they sometimes hold protests that never become anything but peaceful, albeit a bit rowdy? Absolutely. But all in all, they seem like a bunch of assholes. I wish a masked group of internet nerds would try me like that; I'd have a field day with them. And that's what scares me... what happens when they do that same type of shit they did to Ngo to a right-wing nutjob that actually has the ball to turn around a mow down a crowd of them? I don't think these Antifa clowns really understand this game they're playing. They don't REALLY understand violence. They seem to have this Wiley Coyote idea of rumbling with the bad guy where everyone walks away mostly okay.
What happens when one of them gets killed and then they cry about it? Then the right gets demonized for it? At the end of the day I don't really think they understand the game they're playing.
Couldn't agree more. Their thump-and-run tactics aren't really street violence. Buncha mental pygmies playing at being Jack the lad.

Which isn't to say that, some day, Antifa won't be something to fear. If they got some actual tough SOBs in their ranks and stopped playing thump-and-run, bought some guns and became a centralized movement, they'd be a serious problem.
But right now, I'm simply scared they're going to bite off more than they can chew with the wrong person or persons.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
