Whatever side you're on politically, 'left' or 'right', you don't need violent factions joining you or representing you. They bring your cause into disrepute. They don't even care about your cause, they're just in it for the violence. Denounce them.

Indeed Stephen. We seem to have forgotten that many legitimate political causes needed to utilise violence to progress their cause & that when it comes to neo-Nazis, given their track record, no inch can be given. Depressing.

Yes, in the case of ACTUAL Neo-Nazis like this one. But the people that were attacked in Portland this weekend weren't so. Antifa were looking to fight Proud Boys and when PB were somewhere else, they turned on

0:28David Neiwert @DavidNeiwertFor anyone wondering why observers felt Saturday's violence in Portland had a disturbingly vicious quality to it, this little scene will explain why.
