New York Times Helps Antifa Soften Up Harmful Violent Stereotypes

Black bloc is often seen as mostly white males looking to wreak havoc for their cause. A half-dozen Berkeley Antifa members who agreed to speak on record to us saw merit in that stereotype, but since the Trump inauguration, they said, those behind the masks represent the spectrum of gender and race. “People showing up to the protests are the ones with the most to lose,” said Neil Lawrence, a Berkeley student. Part of his decision to go public as a transgender anti-fascist is to counteract the stereotype.

Lawrence of Antifa bravely posed for a photo with his face covered above this quote: “When the nonviolent tactics have been exhausted -- what is left?” (Break some windows and punch Trump fans, apparently.)

These useful fidiots wouldn't know oppression if it smacked them upside their friggin' man buns. And a lot of them need some smackin'. Course if they smack me now it's elder abuse. ;-)

Am I the only one who thinks that the Antifa flag looks like a (very appropriate) horses ass?

Memo to AG Sessions: redirect resources you’re using to go after potheads to shut these commie p.o.s. ‘Antifa’ punkasses down with extreme prejudice!

They are typical bullies. The moment someone fights back, they flee.

Hoping for the day when they try this again, and half of them bleed out in the street from knife and gunshot wounds from individuals practicing lawful and necessary self-defense. That would be the last time they try it.

“People showing up to the protests are the ones with the most to lose,”

Yup! Mostly though its their hourly pay from Soros' organizations that keeps them in Pot and other chemicals. Big loss if they don't show up.

You would be right about “her face” She is a trans student and desperately wants to be mistaken for a male. Just look at those high heeled stomping boots and skinny jeans.

Lawrence of Antifa?

Really? Next thing you know the Ctrl-Left will sponsor a Hollywood Epic about the heroic Lawrence. No doubt, the Turkish prison scene will get extra attention.
