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. This was fairly typical of what we were seeing from Proud Boys: Whole gangs attacking single vulnerable counterprotesters. pic.twitter.com/F3jP6yBILM2 replies 0 retweets 6 likes -

This was a gang of about eight Proud Boys pummeling and kicking a man on the ground, including head shots, and pushing away bystanders who tried to stop the violence. This is their MO. I was standing next to an antifascist who was shot by a MAGA couple 1/20/17 in Seattle.

I really admire those bystanders who tried to stop the beating. They were risking their lives to help another, as they had way of knowing that the Proud Boy thugs wouldn't turn on them and give them a beating too.

That man, BTW, was one of the people later listed by Quillette in its smear piece attacking local journalists. He now receives death threats from Atomwaffen SS, thanks to them. This guy. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/alt-right-antifa-death-threats-doxxing-quillette-a8966176.html …
