So, what you’re saying is, anyone who claims to be Antifa is incapable of anything but murder? Even whey they say they were “totally justified [that] had I not acted I am confident that my friend, and I’m sure I, would have been killed”?
He admitted that he shot the guy on VICE. The unsealed Warrant has timed stamped videos that he STALKED the guy and shot him. That’s why the US Marshals were going to arrest him. There was no self defense.
The worst thing Antifa has done is to deliberately accuse people of being Nazis or fascists when they are neither by any halfway reasonable definition (and in any case, Antifa provides no definition). Then they use violence on those people. And from the beginning, Portland police would see these attacks and not lift a finger.
Doesn’t matter. You can’t claim self defense once the person has disengaged and walked away. Especially if you have to track the person down for your revenge shot.
You jest but I’m concerned that one of these idiots, assuming they have set up their own checkpoints, will decide someone “looks Antifa” and send them to a hospital, if not a morgue. My niece and her small family are in Eugene.
Here are witnesses, plural with their names that claimed he fired his assault weapon.
But witnesses Chad Smith and Chase Cutler, who were about 50 feet away from the melee, said they saw the suspect get out of his car and fire what they believed was an assault rifle at the officers. They heard 40 or 50 shots, with officers returning fire, striking the man.
Discussions included using 200 men to “storm” the Capitol Building in Lansing, kidnap hostages, including, Whitmer and try the governor for treason, according to the affidavit.
[P]articipants discussed plans to attack the Capitol and use “Molotov cocktails” to attack police, according to the affidavit.
Plans included planting a bomb under a nearby bridge to divert law enforcement, according to the affidavit.
The answer to your question: failed to convey the dangers of fascism and why it’s good to be against fascism. It was a wasteful, vainglory mission that demonstrated degeneracy, idiocy and pathology. Pure tragic.
