What if Antifa is not mostly far left political ideologues who believe violence is justified? What if it is mostly young violent people looking for an excuse (anti-Fascism) & a place (Portland) to commit violence? Does anyone know who these people are? Any demographics? Profiles?

What if Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer are mostly far right wing neo-fascists whose MO is to go to antifascist rallies, try to pick a fight, and then, when successful, gang up on individual protesters to beat the crap out of them and claim "self-defense"?https://twitter.com/DavidNeiwert/status/1014621528711811072 …

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/F3jP6yBILM5 replies 15 retweets 69 likes -

This is what Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer do, as
@DavidNeiwert, who's reported on fascists for decades, shows. This is who they are. Yet, for some reason, I don't see you condemning PBs with anywhere near the ferocity and outrage that you condemn antifa.https://thebaffler.com/latest/freedom-to-bash-heads-niewert …5 replies 9 retweets 60 likes -

And here's what Proud Boys and other fascists are doing now, explicitly using the "concrete milkshake" lie to justify killing antifa.https://twitter.com/rvawonk/status/1146188483339464706 …

I seriously expect somebody to be hurt or killed tomorrow based on this "concrete shake" disinformation.
