It’s not an autonomous community. None of us called it CHAZ..... that’s the media and people stopping by for selfies. Just stop letting cops kill people with no accountability and police stop killing black men 3 times more than you kill white men statistically. Just stop altogether. Got everyone distracted with all these false shenanigans instead of focusing on the real issue that brought us here.

They may call themselves Anti fascist but they are act like a totalitarian group of communist just like all other totalitarian you will believe as we believe or we will destroy you.

Many times from right-wing ATS posts, I see this, "Believe what we believe or ... " apparent quote.

What I'd like to know is; considering its pervasiveness, where this is originally quoted from? Is it even attributable to a left-winger at all?

If what you believe is true... (boatloads of hyperbole there fella) What do they call the going's on in Seattle with the several blocks of autonomous zone ? Blockades and weapons ?

What is happening are race riots, occurring amidst more peaceful public protest.

Due to the murder of African Americans by the police.

Some people are reacting with reasonable concern, others are reacting with rage.

Unfortunately, the reasonable concern people have little likelihood of instigating real change. Definitely, the existing government and domestic police have shown little evidence of accommodating that change, over successive decades.

What the rioters have done, is to polarize the people but the impetus for change is now proceeding too fast to formulate reasonable responses that are conciliatory between the sides.

America goes with 'the crazy', again...

A question.

Unless your profession requires it (police officer, soldier, boxer, etcetera) under 18 U.S.C. 16, it is a crime to commit violence.

Since members of Antifa are committing violent acts - and violent acts are against the law and therefor a crime – those members of Antifa committing those acts are criminals.

And the police are doing nothing about it.

So would it be wrong for Antifa to ask for police protection from other known violent groups – such as Hells Angels and Mongols – when those groups start committing violent acts against the criminals in Antifa?
