Its must be a fake video, the guy who did it must be a jerk, its not fair to use the label antifa, it's only one or two people, they have a second amendment that allows them to have sawn off shotguns and ak's, they are justified because they are standing up to racists.

We need some McCarthyesque style witch hunters to root out these America hating clowns for the good of the country.
Thanks for your honesty.
Antifa is a group of radical domestic terrorists that need to dealt with as such.
Sugar coating it doesn't solve anything.

The entire problem with this statement is that there isn't a single figurehead of the right that is praising any of the Nazi's that you like to conflate with the right wing.
I can't remember who it was on the right that described the Nazi's in Charlottesville as "some very fine people"?

TLDR
If you need multiple paragraphs to Translate/Excuse the POTUS then it is likely BS.

No, I wasn't expecting any of that.
What I'm seeing here is precisely what I've come to expect.
Listen...I know you have Liberal leaning ideals from seeing your previous posts....that's fine, you are entitled to believe in anything you want.
I am not calling for the lynching or murder of innocent people here.
But they need to be dealt with according to they way they operate...when they speak of luring people back to the cars where they have their weapons, that should be considered premeditation.
When they are passing out ice picks and knives, they are looking to cause mayhem.
That is not people I would consider law abiding.
Let’s assume that this video is 100% legit. What does it show? I’d estimate around 10 or so people “planning” violence.
When it is turned over to the police, does anyone imagine that on that basis they’re going to arrrest these folks? I know that’s what the entertainer/producer of the vid wants you to think ... but that’s not what happened.
This is the same reason any legitimate media group would have ignored it.
Actual evidence is required. There’s very little that is reliable here ... rather like Veritas vids.
In relation to what you suggested, before you enact justice on people... don’t you want to be sure they’re guilty?

As you say, this will lead to much worse behavior if it is not called out for what it is, violent authoritarianism

To follow up on Mr. Crowders rather questionable history with videos ...
During the altercation, Crowder was punched several times by a union activist. A video of the incident released by Crowder was found to have been selectively edited, as Crowder cut footage of the alleged assailant being pushed to the ground and getting back up, right before throwing the punches at Crowder. Crowder then released an unedited copy of the video.
In March 2013, Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III declined to press charges against anyone involved in the December 2012 altercation. According to Dunnings, his office was originally sent an edited version of the video of Crowder's altercation. However, upon reviewing the unedited version, the prosecutor's office decided not to pursue the case. Dunnings stated that "It's pretty clear the person that they wanted to charge was acting in self-defense.

I see you attacking the messenger instead of the message, again and again and again. You are the one we expect to do the same thing over and over, really. So what if the messenger is not perfect, is there someone who is in your estimation?

He/she is not the only one. There are others in ATS who always resort to attacking the messenger instead of concentrating on the topic.

Antifa are anarchists. They hate the government more than you do. You seem confused about the whole left/right thing.

That is because the credibility of the message depends on the credibility of the messenger. It is not the only way to evaluate a claim, but it is a first good step. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice....
