Antifa

[cernjSHU]

1st off you made it about killings not about hate because antifa has no recorded killings. If you want to go down the hate group route here you go. You can't call white supremacy a hate group and ignore the hate of antifa. Antifa is spewing just as much hatred. Where are the antifa peace signs? Why do they wear masks if they are promoting peace, love and harmony? They are a hate group as much as any other, killings or no killings. They do a ton of violence. Go see what they did at Berkley and tell me that was respectful and not hate.

And yes it's just a few bad apples. Google white supremacy killings. You will find there have been 77 killings since 1995. They are doing a terrible job if their mission is to kill people. Do you know how much better a place Chicago would be if there were only 77 killings a year, forget about since 1995. People would be thrilled. It's still 77 too many but wow that would be great progress.

I have stated repeatedly that I do NOT support, advocate or think they are a great group. I don’t like their tactics and I don’t like what they did at Berkeley. Nevertheless, they are not the equivalent of the KKk, neo Nazis and White supremecists. Any attemp to equate the two is 100% inaccurate.
Really, this is not a difficult point.

Thank you for showing your true self. This certainly shows your intelligence.

Yes, I will never hesitate to call out bad behavior ....

They are a hate group that has committed many violent acts that fortunately haven't result in any deaths as of yet. In today's world we've seen 77 deaths related to white supremacy. CNN, MSNBC, ABC they would all love to cover white supremacy interfering with political rallies. With the exception of the statue issue, there's been little to cover. Instead they are left to cover things like Berkley more often than white supremacy meetings. To say they can't be equated because one has caused a few deaths a year and the other hasn't is simply inaccurate.

Again, you and SPK want to steer clear of the original point of this thread

Since I am the one that started the thread I think I am in a position to state the original point.

No equivalences were made, let alone false ones.

My point was that Antifa is an anarchist group and the views of one prominent member are disturbing and hypocritical.

• The name Antifa masks that they are for anarchy.
  
• A prominent Antifa member Tweeting that it is "a privilege to teach future dead cops" is disturbing.
• Doing so and earning your livelihood at a Criminal Justice college is hypocritical.

That's it.


SPK relpies with "Antifa is as despicable as the neo-nazi's/KKK/white supremacists."

Right after that, Cern goes batshit with his false equivalencies shtick and name calling.

Cern, can you ever chill? SPK made a reasonable response and you rake him over the coals and turn a discussion into a shit show.

At the end of the day is your point that the the KKK is more despicable than ANTIFA? OK great. We will give the KKK the award. ANTIFA is just not evil enough. Quasi evil. Semi evil. The margarine of evil. The diet-coke of evil. Just one calorie.

Groups that espouse violence to advance their agendas are equally abhorrent.

Cern's continuing references to "property damage," when actual people were attacked and injured, is as disingenuous as it gets. It won't be long before someone involved with Antifa kills someone.
