Man, it is a mess right now.

 

LOTS of people marching in the streets. Police in riot gear spraying the protestors with water cannons (those look fun, btw - do we have them here in the U.S.?)

These always get protested. I can't wait for the MSM to blame Trump for the protests this time.

Not used in the USA to my knowledge. Usually just irritates the protesters.

When I think water cannons (and I know it's not quite the same thing) I think Bull Connor and Birmingham.

Today it was just amusing them. Saw Some young guys in shorts and bathrobes acting like it was a water park.

Yep, nothing like radical left-wing thugs who use violence and intimidation to advance their crazy beliefs.

Media wants to talk about right wing violence. When the truth is these far left groups like Antifa are doing a large majority of the violence. I don't recall any outlet doing any stories on antifa yet they have committed acts of violence, destruction, and terrorism in cities across the globe.

Please educate us on Antifa. Who are they? What do they want? What acts of violence/terrorism have they committed?

They're a black bloc group of "anti-fascist" rioters who wear black clothing and anything they can to hide their faces, they associate with anarchism. You've seen them at UC Berkeley.

 

To name a few other acts of violence/terrorism have they committed besides UC Berkley and this years G20 Summit in Germany, in 2007 during the 33rd G8 summit, a black bloc of 2,000 people built barricades, set cars on fire and attacked the police during a mass demonstration in Rostock. 400 police officers were injured, and also about 500 demonstrators and activists.

 

During the 2010 G20 Summit in Toronto, a black bloc riot damaged a number of retail locations including an Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Adidas Store, Starbucks and many banking establishments.

 

A group of about 400 black bloc demonstrators took part in the 2011 London anti-cuts protest where they attacked various high end retail outlets.

They also have cause a lot of mayhem in Portland and scattered across California.

 

They claim to be anti-facist but they are the closest thing in this country to facism in their actions. They hold up Stalin and Lenin as heros . They frequent most pro Trump rallies out West and try to out number Trump supporters and hurt them.
