    Shields are defensive whereas bats and clubs are offensive weapons

    Really.....when one is considered the black sheep. Just how do they hide?

    How do Right wingers react to Nazis and Clansmen. Note how they aren't accepted as one of the party people.

    Have you figured out who the Clansmen history is with......yet? How long do you think it will take you to figure that out?

    The Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party in the south after the Civil War

    Republicans were in control and the Klan used violence to regain control for the Democrats

    Yes, the ones who opposed the fascists and nazis of the day. Unlike the opposition today who are relegated to moderated internet forums they like to get out and about and bash nazis on the head. It's tradition, I'd have thought handsome, fresh faced, clean cut American men and boys would appreciate tradition. Especially the hipster beards with their Tiki lights.

    Of course I know the history of the Klan ...
    The Ku Klux Klan is a racist and violent, active in the southern states of the USA active secret covenant. The original Ku Klux Klan was founded on 24 December 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee. The founders were six officers of the Confederation: Calvin E. Jones, John B. Kennedy, Frank O. McCord, John C. Lester, Richard R. Reed, and James R. Crowe. The Klan was active as a uniform organization between 1865-75 and 1915-44. Since 1950 there have been several independent groups under this name
    The aim of the clan was, after its founding on 24 December 1865, the suppression of the blacks. His violent acts were initially directed against blacks and their protectors, as well as against the numerous former Northeasterns who wanted to profit from the reconstruction of the South (reconstruction) after the Sezession war. It was a paramilitary group that tried to reach its political goals with terror and violence and was dissolved around 1870. In 1915, the Klan was reestablished as a nativist mass organization. With up to four million members (1924), this clan pursued a policy of white predominance, especially against African Americans, but also militant anti-Catholicism and anti-Semitism. After the Second World War several independent groups formed as a Ku Klux Klan, which carried out various acts of violence from verbal intimidation to various physical assaults, to murders against actual or alleged representatives of the American civil rights movement.

    And about the rest ... of course not liked public, but if they deliver you the votes, they are not rejected, eh?

    You would have to ask George Soros about the extra pay......but basically he pays for a body to show up to protest what Georgie Boy don't like.

    Its kind of coincidincy like with the Demos who used their tactics to get people to vote or not vote. Back then it was the Kluckers, and today......they use the gangbangers. Black, Hispanic, White, and any other minorities.

    What I am waiting to see......is if these Antifadas want to arm up and show up in the hood. Doing that protesting thing that they do.

    I must admit I have difficulties believing that, with my rationality and stuff... 1500 bucks a week? What the fck am I doing here, wasting my time? I am ready to "endorse" about anything for that salary - in fact, I already did, as I am sure you did too.

    Come on, dude... If this was true, then half of your population would be on the street full time, dancing to "Soros' tune" - who would be broke in two weeks. That just ain't making any sense.

    I'm sure "Antifa" is a rebranding of "United Against Fascism" (UAF). Incredibly, our ex Prime Minister David Cameron used to speak at their events. I suspect he might not today.

    That they're hard left isn't controversial. That the authorities and the media give them a virtual free pass to do anything is.

    Of course there is danger for the state, the democracy and the society of left and right extremists ... and it is self-murdering to speak the risk of one side small or ignore it.

    I personally also see a danger that the whole thing can become dangerous and firearms will be used in the future!
    In a country where every idiot can get a shotgun without any problem legally or illegally, thanks to constitutional right for it, the danger is even greater ... especially when the escapement for deadly violence falls and the state organs are seen as an enemy by both extremists!

    1500 a week? I doubt it. You might get lucky and share a hotel room with 10 or 15 others for a week.

    Nah see the other half is working full time jobs, running businesses. Which would leave half. But out of that half.....another half aren't leftists. Which means out of that half which is left, only half of them truly are hard left. So out of that half is those that don't want to go to jail, get hurt, or be in a riot, or face off with the police. Which leaves the reality we already have.

    Soros spent 33 million on Ferguson alone so 1500 (probably for leadership positions) is not that far fetched. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ate-echo-chamber-drive-national-protests.html

    That's more like it. If I was paid 1500$ a week, I'd rather stay at the big hotel myself.

    I bet many of the facist protesters were jobless, basement/trailer park trash too. Nah - more likely the antifa/facist aggregate themselves in informal bands of 4-8 (as much people as one can cram in momma's car) with backpacks, sticks and other impediment of the home-made, low-budget fighter.

    There's no "national conspiracy". Those who believe in such cause would rather invest in lawyers rather than un-stable buttock orifices.

    No there isn't, Soros is funding much of todays anarchist not just Ferguson, where they caused random 'schnitz' by looting and burning. Do a search 'Soros funding anarchy'. I doubt seriously a run of the mill anarchist is getting 1500 a week but I'll wager anarchy leaders/organizers are. Soros has a well oiled machine that rarely leaves his filthy finger prints on, but he has been exposed.

    Huh.. could you please cite one of these, please? I know it sounds lazy but I don't like the internet security risks inherent to the kind of site that promote such an irrational conspiracy. Thanks in advance.

    "Sorus payed me to frighten conservitive womin!!!!!"

    Anyhow, he certainly splashes the cash around but I'd have thought it more pertinent to be looking to the funding for the likes of the Tiki Terrorists since they and their ilk are definitely the worst of the worst that the US has to offer up in terms of outright threat to the citizenry.

    I presume it's now Trump policy to unleash race war. What a fun guy he is.

    There's no question that antifa can be a threat to life and limb.

    If one happens to be a nazi or fascist.

    By the same token, nazis and fascists will tend to support those who offer succour, even slyly. They've become sentient, you see, so can discern signals from the likeminded. It's a rudimentary language, quite simple to decode.

    And thus, you create justification for the people you oppose to carry firearms and wear body armor to their otherwise peaceful protests.
    Well done.

    Yeah, it's not like Nazi 101 is get the **** tooled up before sunset and stay that way permanently. Nope, it's because of peeps like me writing to expect more of the same. And thus here you are accusing me of encouraging nazism.

    What a shabby way to conduct yourself.
