Ok fine. Yes, antifa violence should be condemned. But the violence that they have perpetrated upon people is less than the violence of Eagles fans after the super bowl win. Until antifa violence surpasses the violence caused by sports fans, I won’t waste my time publicly condemning them, because there are much bigger things to be worried about than a group of 20 guys burning a car.

Unless the car belong to a nazi or white supremacist. Then, they can burn that thing and I will applaud them.
