“Maybe CNN will finally tell the truth...”

Probably not, far too deep in being simply anti-Trump and pro-radical left.

CNN doesn't have a "white supremacist" bogeyman this time to hide behind.

They have to report on the Antifa violence with no other agitators present.

How would CNN’s Gary Tuckman report this IF THE VIOLENCE HAD HAPPENED AT A DEMOCRAT RALLY AND THE ‘PROTESTERS’ CAUSING THE VIOLENCE WERE REPUBLICANS?

Be honest Gary Tuckman - if the shoe was on the other food, what would YOU have reported.

Liars... we already know Gary Tuckman is incapable of being honest...

YES.

Just like the reporters and camera idiots on the battlefield. Your press pass is not bullet proof. Why are you standing in the midst of the enemy? We know their position on everything because they have incessantly been telling it to us for over 8 years now. We are not going to take special precautions to single you out of the bad guys when trigger time comes. In fact, being on the front lines, taking a stand with those against the sworn legal authority, all the while forcing the situation with lies and retoric, we acknowledge that your camera and microphone are weapons that can be exponentially more powerful than the firearms and protective gear we have, IF you know how to use them, so...

It comes down to me against you, both armed with deadly weapons. Me sworn to follow the legal authority. You, doing what your doing.

You better be using your weapon properly, because I know what my priority target is.

Antifa typically throws biohazards (urine & feces) at police and others during a protest! Reporter said “water bottles” were thrown at police.

Caused chaos? Protesters? Lets call it what it really is... unlawfully assembly and rioting.

Too bad CNN guy, don’t side with rebels next time.

Looks like Antifa failed to have the police roll over. A few more like that and they will wither away.

Severe pain might start a labor dispute where they demand more money for their hired services.

The deployment of tear gas, earlier reported as smoke rather than gas, has nothing to do with Trump. This was a fight between a crowd breaking the law and the police there to enforce it legally.

Once the president’s speech was done, some protesters attempted to move barricades that were holding back the anti-Trump crowds. Police issued a warning, then fired tear-gas canisters. What did they expect? If you break the law, you are not a protester, you are a criminal.

And I hope the four that were arrested, either spend a healthy time in the jail and/or pay a healthy fine. If you do the crime, you should do the time.

I’d arm the pro-Trump gang with AR-15s and 750 round each.

Couple things. How about a silenced, suppressed .22LR. No way to detect it in a chaos situation. If you need some distance, it would be a subsonic 300 Blackout, well scoped, silenced and suppressed.

Here’s your morning “riot humor.” Antifa demonstrator kicks tear gas cannister back at cops and gets shot in the d*ck by the cops! I am still laughing every time I watch this clip. I’m hoping the shot rendered his “equipment” unusable forever.
