Them: "Antifa are violence loving extremists" Me, an 'antifa': *develops deep repertoire of nonviolent skills to use before any violence*

Everyone else walked by and would have let violence happen. Yet I was able to intervene non-violently and de-escalate.
-
This is what antifa does. This is what community defense is. Anyone trained would have recognized what I was doing.

On a12, during the terrorist attack, I was right there. I knew it was an attack, I knew he might even start shooting.
-
I even unholstered my gun in case that happened. But I didn't point it, I saw there was no clear shot, I saw him speed away instead.
-
So I re-holstered it, ran to the police and told them to call an ambulance, and helped clear the streets. Violence as last resort.

If I was a violent extremist, I would have unloaded my clip, consequences be damned. I was ready to if I had to. But I didn't. That's NVDA.

Look for "de-escalation training" in your area. There are martial arts gyms with social justice mission in some areas.
