Because they weren't involved in those. White nationalism has been on the rise the past 3-4 years. And again, there is evidence of their involvement, enough so that the FBI is investigating. I just don't understand how you reconcile your common sense with the facts.
No, I have no idea who was doing the looting. Antifa has shown little propensity to loot and neither have white supremacists. It’s likely a varied combination of pissed off people and opportunists. One thing I do know about right wing groups is that they have had a concerted campaign of trying to set up Antifa and provoke Antifa so they can have their friends with youtube channels capture the response and then push it out to their right wing fanatics. Vice documented this kind of stuff and right wing darling Andy Ngo has been caught doing this in Portland. Right wingers create fake Antifa groups on the regular and plan rallies that only right wingers show up for. The one thing that is certain is that Trump and his media allies have made a concerted campaign to blame Antifa for anything they can whether it’s true or not. They like the us vs them symbolism so they’ve created a boogeyman rather than address the actual murders and terrorism that white supremacists commit. I was reading an article the other day where these right wing nuts in Idaho showed out with weapons because Antifa was coming to town to cause mayhem. It’s ****ing preposterous. There are no both sides. There are white supremacists who commit acts of terrorism on a regular basis In this country. The next Antifa that’s charged with murder, conspiracy, terrorism etc will be the first. I would just encourage everyone to find actual sources for the pervasive “many people are saying” type of gossip, rumor, and innuendo that pass for facts among Trump’s supporters.
Half of your links don't even mention white supremacy. Two that do say: It is unclear how much organized white supremacist groups are involved in the violence, and it is easy to use them as an excuse for much broader societal problems related to police violence and systemic racism. And another: “I have not seen any clear evidence that white supremacists or militiamen are masking up and going out to burn and loot,” he said to the New York Times. Those two sentiments pretty much explain where I'm at. But if the FBI is investigating, as you say, and find evidence that there was a large scale coordinated effort by white supremacists that helped start/extend the riots, then I'll admit I was wrong.
A buddy of mine who is a gun obsessed Trump nut was literally convinced that Antifa was planning a riot at the HEB in the woodlands. I think we are underestimating how radical most of the men on the right have become.
Dude white supremacist organizations like the Aryan Brotherhood are actual organization with actual organized crime operations such as racketeering. And then there is the fact that one white supremacist in one day in one black church killed more Americans than Antifa has in their entire existence.
I just went in to get some beer and those bacon wrapped, cream cheese filled jalapenos. Wasn't going to start anything.
I went to get some of those really good Chicken Nuggets you can only get at HEB.... and then casually threw a Molotov cocktail at a cop as I was leaving.
As long as HEB carries those scary far left craft brew beers, it isn't safe for folks with the oversized lifted trucks. We need to ban hops.
Here's the story right here. It was a nationwide attempt using Facebook (because of course). https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social...lared-over-antifa-which-never-showed-n1226681 I bet you 100 bucks that there is some Woodlands facebook group that heard from a "source" that this was being planned, and a Antifa van was spotted, or something or another. That's what they did here in the story above and it mirrors many other Facebook neighborhood posts striking fear into Trumper morons.
3 members of antifa arrested in Austin for looting KSAT.com reported. (ABC 13) The antifa flag has been photographed regularly at turnouts. Why you turn a blind eye to it is anyone's guess - and odd to say the least.
so 3 looters belonged to antifa? They were waving the antifa flag? I mean, given that Trump and co (including yourself) have described them as this nationwide threat and need to define them as a terrorist group - so far you have 3 people looting who are "members" and some photographs of their flags at turnout. Are you sure you aren't creating a boogeyman here?
Yet another attempted murder by Antifa errr... the Klan. Man who allegedly ran over protesters is an admitted leader of the Ku Klux Klan, Virginia officials say
Those were three that got caught, in one city one one occasion. So tell me, who is not thinking critically again?
