Alright, folks. Back to our regular programming.

Fight breaks out as Patriot Prayer, Antifa face. One person was arrested.

Pardon the double post, but it appears HuffPo writer Luke O'Brien is lamenting the bad press Antifa is now enduring.

Over the past year, as fascists and racists have reemerged, emboldened by the rise of Trump, many old-school antifa have laced up their boots again. But now they find themselves facing a new enemy. The current crop of neo-Nazis and white nationalists prefers tattersall to tattoos and come off more like Young Republicans than Hammerskins. They are proficient in social media and online messaging, which presents a challenge for antifa used to fighting in the shadows.

Translation: these right-wing kids know what they're doing, and with an open and free internet, can now use the court of public opinion in their favor.

I see Ministry's faggotry and raise them an unknown punk rock band with a anti-ANTIFA song.

As much as I like Body Count's older work, are they to blame for this revival of Rap Metal / Nu-Metal? I remember it being a cheap form of social signaling to hate on it back in the mid 2000s.

So this Communist piece of shit is basically complaining that while his side has been looting stores, attacking innocent bystanders, flipping over garbage cans, and getting labeled as terrorists, the "actual, literal Nazis" have been obeying the law and acting peacefully. . .aaaand for some reason, the public perception of antifa as a bunch of garbage-can-flipping, arson-committing, store-looting, innocent-bystander-attacking scum is unfair.

The article is just a hair short of hagiographic, but the most telling passage to me is right here:
Their notoriety may be new, but antifa have a long, complicated history of militant community activism. This history has involved a lot of Nazi-punching, but it’s also about much more than that. In the course of my reporting on the alt-right over the past year, I’ve talked to several older anti-fascists who have been doing the “work” for decades. They told me about pitched battles in the street with Nazis from another era, about raiding Klan rallies under cover of darkness, about cops in cahoots with white supremacists, and about Nazis torching the homes of activists and killing antifa in the desert. I heard about duffel bags filled with barbells and knives and a legendary anti-fascist who was attacked by a brass-knuckle-wielding Nazi and responded by breaking the fascist’s teeth with a Maglite flashlight. These exploits sounded fantastical, but when I looked into them, they were true.

The antifa vets were more strategic than I anticipated and obsessively knowledgeable about politics. They all had extreme personalities, although time had precipitated out a little of their tannin. Some had children and normal lives. The Maglite legend, I’d heard, was now a kids’ soccer coach. Still, they were tight-lipped about their activities, some of which were illegal, and were often misunderstood.

I love how he underplays the illegal facet of their activities. I also like how the article dishonestly claims that the far-right "stole" skinhead subculture when casual racism was present from the fucking start. It's like these idiots have never heard of Paki-bashing.

Man, it's so fucking rich, it hurts to read. I mentioned earlier in this thread that open and free social media has given anyone who cares the necessary tools to expose these anti-racist radicals. Decades earlier, it was much harder to expose them as little more than glorified shit-stirrers. It also didn't help that the '90s villain-of-the-decade was the far-right and all criminal elements associated with it, and the only people who complained about Antifa were members of the far-right. Now that Antifa is combating regular right-wingers, they've now found themselves in a much more precarious situation.

David Irving is not the most reliable historian, but if any of this information can be crosschecked, his account of anti-racist radicals from Portland in the '90s is rather disturbing.
  • In an, 1991, interview with the Sunnyside Review newspaper (vol. 2, no 1), the C.H.D. director, Jonathan Mozzochi, praised and encouraged the presence of "anti racist" Skinhead-gangs on the streets of Southeast Portland. Mozzochi complained against the Portland Police crack-down on violent "anti-racist" Skinhead street-gangs and stated that he (Mozzochi) was personally taking a leadership role in "reorganizing" these Skinhead thugs. In fact, Mozzochi held meetings with these violent Skinheads at the C.H.D. headquarters, at which he instructed and encouraged the Skinheads in the "fine art of Nazi-bashing".
  • In the May 90 Issue of Willamette Week, Skinheads Mark Newman, Pan Nesbit, and Tom Tegner are shown photographed together at a Coalition for Human Dignity office located at 333 Southeast Third street. These violent Skinheads met at the C.H.D.'s Third street office regularly, with the permission and funding of Jonathan Mozzochi, and discussed ways to "fight" and "smash racists"
  • On August 26, 1990, Coalition for Human Dignity associate, Mark Newman, along with a group of 8 to 10 self-proclaimed "anti-racist Skinheads" and C.H.D. associates assaulted two young women at a convenience store on Southeast Hawthorne (Portland, OR). One of the young women sustained a fractured skull after being beaten with a roofing hammer. Mark Newman and his "anti-racist" gang justified the assault because the two women were "friends of racists". Mark was charged with First-degree Assault and later plead guilty to the charge of Second-degree Assault. Tom Tegner, who participated in the beating, was convicted of First-degree Assault. Mr. Tegner was also a close associate of the Coalition for Human Dignity.
  • Mozzochi used C.H.D. funding (over $500) to sponsor two Portland (Oregon) Skinhead concerts in October of 1990 for the private army of "anti-racist" Skinheads that he was organizing and recruiting. The C.H.D. even went so far as to place "Wanted Dead or Alive I" posters of persons who Mozzochi personally hated all over Southeast Portland neighborhoods.
  • On February 15, 1992, 16-year-old Zack Taylor is so severely beaten by three "anti-racist" Skinheads in Southeast Portland, that he was comatose for over two weeks and sustained permanent brain damage. One of the arrested assailants, Pan Nesbit, is a self-proclaimed "Nazi-hunter" and a long-time associate of the C.H.D. Zack was allegedly beaten because he had "racist friends"
  • On January 1, 1993, Eric Banks, age 21, was shot to death in Southeast Portland by a gang of self-described "anti-racist Skinheads". Among the group of "anti-racists" were C.H.D. associates Pan Nesbit (one of the assailants of 16-year-old Zak Taylor) and Tom Tegner (one of the convicted assailants of the two young women on August 26, 1990). Once again, the reason given for the attack and subsequent murder of Mr. Banks was that he was a "racist".
  • Jonathan Mozzochi has also recruited into the C.H.D. equal weirdo's such as Abby Layton, Matt Halpern, Patricia McGuire, Susan Wheeler, and Ron Gardiner--fellow "neo-Marxist" radicals and self-described "Nazi-hunters", and ultra-orthodox "Zionist" Steven Wasserstrom(fanatically anti-Muslim & Christian), who share Mozzochi's political agenda.

Even in his hagiography, though, the guy with the Maglite was attacking a Nazi who had assaulted him with a weapon first.

All of the current antifa violence has been unprovoked assaults usually on unarmed and quite often completely non-Nazi bystanders.

This isn't to underplay the violence from the far-right, which there is indeed plenty to account for. I won't bother to include Timothy McVeigh because, although he read The Turner Diaries as an inspiration, his main motivations were to avenge the ATF's siege of the Mt. Carmel Compound outside Waco in 1993.

The article mentions two Anti-Racist Action activists were murdered as part of a Neo-Nazi plot. Decades earlier, there was also the Greensboro massacre which left five Communists dead, two of who were medical doctors.
 
How dare the Nazis NOT TAKE THE BAIT! They're supposed to be attacking us! It's not fair they won't when we're doing all the provoking we can think of!
