I am amazed at hypocrisy in this case. Do gooders escallated situation by attacking a small group of underemployed young guys parading their frustrations. Nobody would even remember that parade if not for the champions of equal rights and equality. Do gooders escallated this just to roll over and say no to escallating violence. Idiots.

As a part of celebration of all those many freedoms we enjoy as Americans a Bay Area resident, who marched in that parade, lost his food service job.

He was clearly bullied into resigning, if that's actually true. In which case its a constructive firing.

An American who drives their car into another American intentionally is a domestic terrorist. Party-affiliation not needed.

It's interesting that people are blaming Antifa and BLM and anyone else who opposed the KKK, Nazis, White Supremacists for what happened in Charlottesville, including our own very racist President (and as Michael Moore said, anyone who backs the racist, IS a racist).


The KKK, Nazis and White Supremacists were preaching hatred by spewing racial and prejudiced comments, that was their agenda during this PEACEFUL march, while carrying torches and weapons. Who brings torches and weapons (rifles included) to a PEACEFUL march ? These are HORRIBLE people who want to eradicate everyone who isn't like them. They want what the Nazis in the 1930's and 1940's wanted, to destroy freedom and racial equality and religious freedom. Who WOULDN'T want to bash these people in the mouth.


This is what Antifa and BLM are against. Hatred, prejudism and racism. Antifa is Anti Fascist and Anti hate, this is where the movement came from. Who, in their right mind, wants a fascist country ? We've fought against fascism for 4 years in WWII, and destroyed it. It will be destroyed once again, but this time in our own country. I condone Antifa's methods against the KKK, Nazis and White Supremacists, because those people do need to be put in their place for the hatred they spew. There is no talking to those kind of people, there is no dialogue, there are no GOOD KKK, Nazis or White Supremacists, so who, in their right mind would defend these scums of the earth ? You have to look at yourself in the mirror if you find yourself defending them. I DO NOT condone Antifa's methods of blocking traffic and attacking riot police just because they do not like the Republican Party and Trump. I DO condone ANYTHING they do vs the KKK, Nazis or White Supremacists.


BLM, while I don't condone some of the things they do, and it's obvious some people take advantage of the movement to achieve their own agenda (violent protests and racial talk), the movement came about because black people were getting killed by cops at an alarming rate. Obviously a lot of these cops were horrendous at their jobs, and shouldn't have had guns in the first place. It opened up the dialog about these instances, and there seems to be more training for cops who are put in certain situations every day. These instances seem to be decreasing.


Bottom line, there is no condoning hatred, this is a great country, and people should be able to live in peace without feeling threatened by groups like the KKK, Nazis and White Supremacists. The only hate I condone is the hatred of the KKK, Nazis and White Supremacists.

Nobody s blaming antifa and blm that's the problem.

You don't condone hatred unless its hatred of the KKK. You do condon antifa when their fighting KKK but not when they block traffic. You don't condon BLM but you understand them. You are the king of talking out of both sides of your mouth. I'm so confused
