Backlash: Alleged "Antifascist" Rioters Are Finally Met By Counter-Rioters

As was easily predictable, and inevitable.

Even Noam Chomsky warned the "Antifas" to stop with the violence before even greater violence was visited upon themselves.

Minor clashes have happened all over the country between black-masked antifa and red-hatted Trump supporters since then. However, none were on the scale of what went down Saturday.

The only conclusion to draw from this chain of events is that it was probably a bad idea to think violence was a good way to show your opposition to Trump. Now that elements of the Right have shown that they have the capability to defend themselves and drive the opposition, the only result of this embrace of violence is the radicalization of the Left’s enemies.

Famed left-wing philosopher Noam Chomsky warned of the consequences if his fellow lefties engage in this "self-destructive" tactic during the debate over punching Nazis. "When we move to the arena of violence, the most brutal guys win -- and that's not us," Chomsky said.

Unfortunately, it seems the anarchists are learning that lesson far too late.

Their actions at the Inauguration and Berkeley have not driven fear into their political enemies. Those acts have only motivated folks on the Right to spend their weekend brawling with the hated antifa.

Update: Zombie offered some thoughts:

Well, not much left to say about The Battle of Berkeley that I (and everyone else) hasn't said already.

Basically, the story is this:

Antifa (and BAMN and the Black Bloc and various assorted lefties and anarchists) have been attacking/bating/cold-cocking and assaulting people willy-nilly with essentially no pushback for years now, at every event they "attend." But the Milo event in February received massively more publicity than the previous violent riots (even though it wasn't any more violent than all the previous riots), and as a result of the publicity a lot of the Infowars/4chan/Proud Boys/"alt-right" types all over California basically said "Enough of this shit: we are TIRED of Antifa on one hand attacking people with impunity and then on the other hand acting like Oppressed Victims when anybody puts up their arms to defend themselves. No matter how bad Antifa and their ilk act, the Right always gets blamed for the violence. So -- if we're gonna get blamed anyway, let's at least play on an equal playing field with these Antifa assholes." So a hasty "Free Speech rally" was scheduled for Berkeley for March 4, for the very purpose of luring Antifa into the trap: For the first time, the Free Speech protesters would be ready to defend themselved. As right on cue on March 4, some Antifa showed up, started attacking, and to their shock got punched back.

Everybody got excited by the taste of blood and this impromptu brawl, so a second face-off was scheduled, this time with enough lead-time for everyone to get their full troops assembled. That second brawl was the one on April 15. EVERYONE knew about it ahead of time.

Every "alt-right"/Trump-supporting/free-speech hardcore group showed up in Berkeley ready to rumble -- and yes, unfortunately, a small handful of extreme skinhead/gang/neo-Nazi types -- and against them assembled an equal number of Antifa/Black Bloc/BAMN and assorted commies and anarchists.

Game on. For the first time, it was "No more Mr. Nice Guy" and no more "victim-posturing for the camera."

Result: Antifa got their asses kicked, and were literally driven from the park and fled.

Ooooooh, dearest me, right-wingers threw punches! Let us clutch our pearls!

But that's the point. People's patience was used up. Saturday's punches were in response to YEARS of being punched and not being allowed to fight back.

Video, which I'm sure you've seen by now but whatever, below. Content warning for language and violence.

I think that is the satisfying answer, but I think it's the wrong answer because from there, it's a hop skip and jump to death squads.

I am completely pro self-defense up to and including significantly more dangerous levels of force if need be. I am just as vehemently against instigating violence.

Surely, we can't ever backlash because antifa is a movement of peace?

What annoys me most is the idea that you can label your enemies "n@zis" and then bash them. You know, in Blue Brothers, the Illinois naazis had to dress up like them and such. Now, the neo-fa's are just declaring anyone who they like naaazis.

The question now is, Chomsky's disingenuous quote notwithstanding, how will the Left react to the people fighting back?

They have never shown any willingness at conciliation and introspection in the political and social arenas, which is where the violence flows from/is instigated.

Why would they back down now as opposed to upping the ante? Oh boy.

That's a pretty big leap to death squads.

You can only shoo a fly so much before a swat is in order.

The left habitually engages is hectoring and intimidation while we just want to be left alone, until there is a breaking point.

If we were to "engage" at the outset they would see that their intimidation and hectoring will be met with resolve.

Bottom line, sometimes you got to smack a bitch back in line.

never going to happen, they want to inflict violence on us and we got the idea just letting them would somehow translate into something.

But once they start being scared of us and know they will suffer a beat down, I think a lot less people get punched in the face.

Because the Left doesn't want to fight, not fight-fight for reals, rhetoric aside. Violence with them is a terror tactic, a means of intimidation. It only works if the target is terrorized and intimidated.

I don't know about you but I don't feel particularly terrorized and intimidated.

This basically happens every time in blue cities.

The police aren't going to protect you, most are far more worried about their pension and career than they are innocent people being hurt.

When Madison blew up over Walker's reforms, the cops there sat on their ass and just let it unfold.

Some even participated in the intimidation.

97 I note that it's illegal in Commiefornia for civilians to possess or use a canister of pepper spray larger than 2.5 oz. This is basically a tiny unit which fits easily into a purse, that doesn't hold much agent and doesn't spray very far.

(For the record, I think this is an insanely stupid law, but it *is* the law in this misbegotten nanny state.)

At the Berkeley riots, the thuggish black-masked "antifa" were deploying honking big cans of pepper spray, the size that in these parts are legal only for law enforcement use, and hosing down the pro-Trump side with large volumes of the stuff, delivered from fifteen feet away or more (the little purse squirters can't even remotely accomplish this).

Of course, no one on the left was charged with misuse or illegal possession of these devices.

125 Amusingly, this is EXACTLY how you get Hitler.

After WWI, in Germany, the "mainstream" parties couldn't control leftwing "street theater". Since the government couldn't (or wouldn't) do anything about it, other people came together to answer them.

These other people ended up being the NAZIs. As the communists were Soviet controlled, the mainstream parties in Germany eventually decided to work with the NAZIs...and the rest is history.

What the government should be doing right now is cracking down on the "antifas" and their ilk with real prison sentences.

Posted by: 18-1 at April 17, 2017 04:31 PM (aZq03)

126 Well, not much left to say about The Battle of Berkeley that I (and everyone else) hasn't said already.

Basically, the story is this:

Antifa (and BAMN and the Black Bloc and various assorted lefties and anarchists) have been attacking/bating/cold-cocking and assaulting people willy-nilly with essentially no pushback for years now, at every event they "attend." But the Milo event in February received massively more publicity than the previous violent riots (even though it wasn't any more violent than all the previous riots), and as a result of the publicity a lot of the Infowars/4chan/Proud Boys/"alt-right" types all over California basically said "Enough of this shit: we are TIRED of Antifa on one hand attacking people with impunity and then on the other hand acting like Oppressed Victims when anybody puts up their arms to defend themselves. No matter how bad Antifa and their ilk act, the Right always gets blamed for the violence. So -- if we're gonna get blamed anyway, let's at least play on an equal playing field with these Antifa assholes." So a hasty "Free Speech rally" was scheduled for Berkeley for March 4, for the very purpose of luring Antifa into the trap: For the first time, the Free Speech protesters would be ready to defend themselved. As right on cue on March 4, some Antifa showed up, started attacking, and to their shock got punched back.

Everybody got excited by the taste of blood and this impromptu brawl, so a second face-off was scheduled, this time with enough lead-time for everyone to get their full troops assembled. That second brawl was the one on April 15. EVERYONE knew about it ahead of time.

Every "alt-right"/Trump-supporting/free-speech hardcore group showed up in Berkeley ready to rumble -- and yes, unfortunately, a small handful of extreme skinhead/gang/neo-Nazi types -- and against them assembled an equal number of Antifa/Black Bloc/BAMN and assorted commies and anarchists.

Game on. For the first time, it was "No more Mr. Nice Guy" and no more "victim-posturing for the camera."

Result: Antifa got their asses kicked, and were literally driven from the park and fled.

Ooooooh, dearest me, right-wingers threw punches! Let us clutch our pearls!

But that's the point. People's patience was used up. Saturday's punches were in response to YEARS of being punched and not being allowed to fight back.

138 Speaking of violence, the other day in Detroit a group of youths decided to beat some of the older and paler people visiting the Greektown area of the city. This is where the casinos are and a number of restaurants and nightclubs.

If there was one place that Detroit business owners wanted people to feel safe it's that area.

Of course, the beatings were over before any police could arrive, but the damage is done. I would expect a coalition of businesses there will quietly pay to have the perpetrators found face down in the river.

Puh-leeze, People have seen through all this shit, all these dishonest media-manipulation games. If you put women into combat (as many nations now do), you can't then turn around and accuse the enemy of "attacking women and children." One you go postmodern and out women into fighting roles, you can't fall back on old-fashioned taboos against "hitting a girl."

There are plenty of pepper spray canisters available on Amazon which would meet any law enforcement requirements. I particularly like the one which is encased in a black glove, which pre-positions the canister in the correct firing alignment.

174 Remember: millions of Americans believe that if you have a gun, a badge, and a blue uniform, you are GOD. Police officers likewise believe this: they all DEMAND ABSOLUTE, TOTAL RESPECT AND COMPLETE OBEDIENCE from citizens while giving exactly no respect in return. Yet the police demonstrate their worthlessness here. Every police officer in the area who was on duty that day should be fired and prohibited from going into law enforcement ever again. But they won't; and if that is tried the police will whine (as they love to do) about how they were ordered to stay back, how "they are just following orders:, blah blah blah, and as a last resort they will get behind the skirts of their unions.

187 "Circa 1965, the Hell's Angels, many of whom were military, held an 'aggressive intervention' on a protest march."

When the HA do this sort of thing, it's often difficult to tell whether it's happening because of rough-hewn patriotism under the dirty leather, or just an opportunistic chance to beat down rival drug dealers.

By '65 the Angels had already been deeply into the speed trade for quite a while. That's where the slang neologism of "crank" for amphetamines originated. Stowed away in the crankcases of outlaw bikers' rides.

211 The helmets -- all of which had face-guards -- were worn by people to protect against pepper-spraying. Every Antifa soldier is armed with pepper-spray - it's one of their primary weapons. They pepper-spray victims at every event in Berkeley going back for YEARS. Almost always in a sneak attack, as well. To prepare for this, the free-speech side this time was warned to wear face-guards. Not sure how well it worked. I think industrial-strength goggles might be better.

It was more than that. The Occupoopers were also fully supported by the mayors and police of many cities. In Philly, they let those scumbags actually set up a tent city around City Hall. They were there for months, doing all sorts of things that would have gotten normal people arrested, fined, etc. They were the city's pets and were given free reign. I had to take a circuitous route to work for a while because they had made such a shithole of City Hall plaza. The only reason they were ever disbanded was because of previously scheduled renovations of City Hall.

Yeah ... it was a lot more than just the media helping out. The Occupoopers had all the democratic party and every lever of power at their disposal aiding them.

250 213: Correct. That's why the police doing things like in Berkeley, with the absolute contempt shown by the Berkeley cop, is so dangerous to society. The bottom line is that you are telling the recipient of potential violence that you will do nothing and, therefore, they better be ready to deliver a lot more violence than they expect to receive. You are escalating the violence, not dampening it.

253 I'd rather this be a bloodless conflict, a peaceful transition, but the culture wars seem to just be heating up. The bright side is that our opponents are simultaneously teaching their young people that they are significantly better and more wonderful than they actually are, while trying to make them more eloi and emasculated in the process. This makes for overconfident incompetents, who aren't terribly hard to deal with.

Its not that the left has no actually dangerous folks or competent people. Its that they are rare, usually demented, and shunned by their own people.

279 Thus the systematic use of complex symbols suffices to account for a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. Furthermore, this selectionally introduced contextual feature is not subject to a descriptive fact. Clearly, the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate a parasitic gap construction. I suggested that these results would follow from the assumption that an important property of these three types of EC does not readily tolerate irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules. Nevertheless, the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial delimits the system of base rules exclusive of the lexicon.

So says the Chomskybot!

The value of this event, if there is one, is that the politcos, who have given tacit support and protection to the black block types, will suddenly call for the police to start busting heads and arresting people. That MAY force them to confront and control the black block types, who've basically been able to do what they liked for a long time.

It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

331 So Chomsky is not against stopping free speech via violence because that oppressive action is unAmerican and wrong.

No, Chomsky is against fascist/commie violence by his preferred activists because they are pussies and will lose. But Chomsky is probably in favor of fascist/commie violence by the state against a free people.

Chomsky says in the arena of violence the most brutal guy wins and that is not us. No? True others will win but not because they are "more brutal". It is because they are more willing to fight to the death for liberty, knowing the left will rape/enslave/kill their children.

Chomsky tries to set his youthful useful idiots as less brutal, of some higher order. NOPE. They are wimpy thugs ... but the jihadist version of them are perfectly willing to be brutal. They too must be brutally defeated by those committed to liberty.

The tree of liberty .... when the institutions are perverted (fellow commie travelers marched through) ... then patriots must fight like the founders fought ... commit lives, fortunes, sacred honor. It is no small deal ... but the wimpy college pukes Chomsky brainwashes will indeed lose.

the primary purpose of the Constitution is to protect the citizen


the Constitution is the underlying law of the land


when a politician gives a "stand down" order, that order is illegal,
and that politician should be arrested, and any politician trying to
support that order is likewise not only violating their own oath of
office, but committing a crime as well.


LE would not be "stuck in the middle", if they were to deal with the source of the problem...corrupt leftist and
globalist politicians


I guarantee that if the LEO community were to arrest every politician
and burrocrat violating 8 USC 1324, felony harboring of illegals, they
would have not only a more solid legal foundation ( malfeasance laws
vary by jurisdiction) but would still be able to cripple the the
subversion of our political system

What's fascinating about the incident in Berkeley, as I think I noted yesterday on some thread, is that if you go over to the SFGate site and start scrolling through everything that's been posted in the past few days good luck finding any reference.

345 And this is why some "conservatives" have been reluctant to stand up to the left as Trump has done. They feared that if the left was not appeased, they would resort to violence. And, more troubling, that violence would be met with violence in response.

So, better not to play to those undesirable elements. Do not rouse the rabble. Besides, one can still lead a comfortable life after selling out.

356 Back in 1970, the NY judge presiding over the trial of the Panther 21, had his house firebombed by the Weather Underground. I know his son, who was sleeping when three fire-bombs went off at the front and back doors.

The son wrote back in 2008:

"Ayers said of his upbringing and subsequent radicalization: "I was a child of privilege and I woke up to a world on fire."
"Funny thing, Bill: one night, so did I."

I post this in part to provide perspective. We've had a lot more political violence in the past, including with the 60s and 70s hippies who has some bite.

Also, Berkeley seems to be a one-off, and not very indicative of anything national, much as a lot of folks here want say they want to shoot our way to a national divorce

The antifa typically wear masks and hoodies, mostly black.

Also, the "not antifa" tend to wear helmets a lot more often.

Hit them hard, especially in the face, to disfigure them for life.

Also, isn't wearing a mask to commit a violent crime something that adds to the severity of the crime? Isn't that why stagecoach robbers in the old west were hanged if they were caught?

Maybe there's no call to execute such people, but "rough justice" in the form of "being beaten to within an inch of your life" sounds fine to me.

You're both wrong. People who fight in the streets are on nobody's side but their own. Berkeley protests have been legitimately scary for going on two years now, and they need to get serious about putting the violent people (both sides!) in jail before things continue to get worse.

411 Greetings:

My father passed his affinity for broadsheet newspapers along to me. he had found them useful during the Depression especially in regard to, as he put it, "taking scabs off trucks."

The specific technique goes as follows: Open the paper to the full page size then roll along the long dimension and then bend the rolled paper in half, yielding about an 8-inch reach extension with a kind of rock on its end.

The applicable local paper is the San Francisco Chronicle, more accurately known as the San Francisco Commicle.
