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

FYI, the Proud Boys, for those in the UK who might not have heard of them, are a violent neofascist group of street thugs, as

Nonsense. The MO of Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer is to go to antifascist demonstrations, try to pick a fight with protesters, and, if successful at provoking a fight, beat the crap out of them and claim "self-defense."https://www.salon.com/2018/10/16/gavin-mcinnes-and-the-proud-boys-defending-themselves-or-spoiling-for-a-fight/ …

Then why are the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, American Guard and the rest of these street-brawling organizations comprised of people who don’t live in urban areas invading those cities with armed thugs intent on creating violence? https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/5/27/1859465/-Far-right-street-brawlers-just-can-t-escape-their-violent-hateful-and-bigoted-roots …

Lol, dailykos, really? The most extreme radical left activist website blames the other side for violence. No agenda and bias there, that's for sure. Why don't you come back with a legitimate news site?

FYI, David Neiwert has been reporting on right wing extremists, neo-Nazis, and fascists for over 20 years for various outlets. His reputation as a journalist is impeccable. You didn't bother to read his report, did you? Far easier just to dismiss it because you don't like DK.

Replying to @gorskon @DavidNeiwert and
I definitely did not bother to read that. I subscribed to dk a few years ago when I was a radical leftist, and I still get their emails. I read one once in a while, and I've yet to read anything from dk that would approach fair and balanced. It's a waste of time.
