well it's pretty obvious from that short clip that there was a group of people violently attacking another group of people with various weapons we can see that clearly
provocateur maybe, but this isn't unusual for an Antifa group

I know right.
I have done nothing but call out antifa but I say one fact about the use of the term bomb and suddenly I am an american hating terrorist.
I am in the center and I vote republican sometimes.
Being attacked over facts though makes me think twice about doing that.

It also isn't unusual for them to show up to confront political opposition groups who happen to have shields and helmets.
WHen 2 groups of assholes go looking for a fight, im sure a fight is found. Meanwhile, us grown ups are at home keeping the temp up on the smoker so the pork butt is ready for supper.

the "right" to protest has nothing to do with it, these fights have been going on for decades, just now with media and social media, people are starting to weaponise it for "their side"

That has nothing to do with this.
But yes a smoke grenade that a military would use is very very different than a smoke bomb that a citizen can legally buy.
If smoke bombs had been used on the Branch Davidians the fire never would have started.
Should we outlaw fireworks now because they are deadly weapons?

Antifa are indeed terrorists and, ironically, fascists.
throwing a mortar shell firework
Does this make employing it against a group you disagree with right?
Oklahoma City Bombing? Or perhaps the 1st WTC attack?

Pretty sure the P.P. groups are political trolls. That's their purpose, to provoke a reaction, to start a fight. Pick an area of opposition, and Hold a rally for no purpose other than...political trolling for a reaction. simple!
could be true, don't know but if they do it lawfully and peacefully we can just ignore them right?? there's all kinds of rally's that go on
I wonder... I wonder if both of these organizations get their funding from the same place.. hmm haven't looked into it
