Fear of ‘violent left’ preceded events in Charlottesville


“Hundreds and hundreds of antifa, weird BLM, idiots dressed like clowns,” said Goldy, a reporter for the Canadian alt-right news site The Rebel. “This is okay, as long as you’re not the alt-right. The alt-right wasn’t allowed to demonstrate any show of force.”

As if on cue, activists began chanting “black lives matter” in the background of Goldy’s shot.

“Chant BLM, and all of a sudden the cops don’t care!” she said. “Where are the riot police now?”

Goldy’s report, which transformed into police evidence after James Alex Fields Jr. allegedly plowed his car into counterprotesters, was representative of a theme that had risen from far-right media to the mainstream since President Trump’s inauguration. The growth of “antifa,” a loose and often ad hoc network of left-wing “antifascist” groups, has been covered as a rising danger to law and order, a justification for alt-right organizations to organize armed rallies — and for ordinary Americans to arm themselves, too.

The “antifa” concept has existed for almost as long as fascism itself, but in the wake of Trump’s victory, organizers claimed to be seeing an influx of new energy and new recruits. In the lead-up to Inauguration Day, conservative undercover sting artist James O’Keefe released video of D.C. antifascist organizers plotting Jan. 20 disruptions. Even as they faced questions from law enforcement, antifa allies used “black bloc” tactics to rage across the area just outside of the inaugural parade, donning masks, smashing windows and burning cars.

JFC, this act of terrorism was not the fault of people who were protesting. Stop making (or propagating) excuses you idiot

You are right the whole thing was not the fault of the people protesting.

It was the fault of the counter protesters. Antifa, BLM and that bunch.

From what I've read about him, it sounds like that Fields character was more than a little unhinged regardless...reportedly rejected for military service because he was on some kind of anti-psychotic medication long term.

A nutjob...in other words.

As far as I can tell the "nutjob" has been charged with the highest count of 2nd Degree Murder. As of yet domestic terrorism hasn't been charged as it needs further investigation. And just to be clear domestic terrorism is defined at 18USC2331 as -
(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—

(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;

(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
A and C are readily apparent, not sure about B being met though. Not sure what it appears to have intended other than hurting/killing others.

As far as the BLACKBLOC folks or BLM Shootings ...

(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; > Check

(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; > Check
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or > Check
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and > Check

(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. > Check

Those would pass.
