AntiFa is a fascist, anti-American organization rapidly closing in as an acceptable subgroup of the modern Leftist Democratic Party. They will continue unless strong willed politicians on the Left take measures against them using police force. (The mayor of Portland is a disgrace.)They are made up of mostly white, surburban raised males and resemble European soccer holligans more than anything else. Or perhaps closer would be Brad Pitt's character and The Army of the 12 Monkeys.
A Leftist Mob Attacked Me in Portland WSJ ^ | July 2, 2019 7:22 pm ET | Andy Ngo Posted on 7/3/2019, 6:25:50 AM by Freeport
Portland, Ore.
‘No hate! No fear!” chanted the left-wing crowd as they marched downtown Saturday. I walked to the front of the line to record the protesters with my new GoPro camera when I was suddenly slammed on the back of my head with something hard. Dazed and still hearing faint chants of “no hate,” I was then punched and kicked by perhaps a dozen masked people in black. At an Antifa event meant to resist “fascist violence,” I—a gay journalist of color—was beaten so badly that I was hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage.
Since last year, I have been targeted by Antifa and its allies for my critical coverage of their violent extremism. I’ve reported those incidents to the Portland Police Bureau, and in some cases I’ve identified suspects, but there were no arrests. The mainstream media describe Antifa as “antifascist,” but in fact it is a far-left paramilitary-style movement of anarchists and communists agitating for a revolution.
Antifa is known for wearing black and concealing faces with masks to commit crimes under the protection of group anonymity. The Homeland Security Department has described some of Antifa’s activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” but Portland recently voted to withdraw from the Joint Terrorism Task Force, citing concerns the Federal Bureau of Investigation targeted left-wing activists.
On June 29, Antifa organized a milkshake-themed counterprotest against two small right-wing groups. The event was inspired by the new practice—a British import—of throwing milkshakes on conservative or right-wing figures. Vox.com’s Carlos Maza encouraged such assaults in a May tweet: “Milkshake them all. Humiliate them at every turn. Make them dread public organizing.”
