How is it "protecting themselves" by traveling hundreds or thousands of miles to Charlottesville armed with bats and other weapons to initiate a violent confrontation that would have never talented place if they had just stayed home or demonstrated peacefully?
So wait now it's their fault for "instigating" Nazi's and klansmen? For fucks sake man, those assholes had guns, I've seen videos of them attempting to stab people with the butt of their confederate flags. There are accounts of guns being pointed in people's faces by these assholes too, some of who were dressed like Trump. I'm sorry but there wasn't 2 wrong sides. Their was 1 and it was the racist prick nazis and klansmen and white supremacists.
There were at least 3 groups there.. Guys that hate blacks Guys that hate whites Guys that believe you shouldn't take down statutes of civil war soliders. You don't have to be part of 1 to be part of the other. The first two groups are the problem not the third.
Just because the klansmen are violent assholes doesn't mean that antifa and blm aren't violent assholes too? Like i said before, they travelled to Charlottesville form wherever they lived armed and ready to swing the first bat. Yes, the kkk wanted something like this to happen but a peaceful group wouldn't have played into their hands. Both groups are crazy, violet assholes.
I don't have the membership numbers but I would think that antifa and behave a lot more members than the klansmen. So who's the teradactyl? The joke is a small group of wackos and aren't able to have any impact beyond a few localized and isolated demonstrations. The smart thing to do for those opposed to racism would have been to stay home, rant at the TV about the pathetic little show of bygone anachronism and when it's over post angry messages on internet forums and tweet to their heart's content.
