That's just absolutely not true, its the fast, cheap way out that has caused no noticeable change in the past few years its been happening, all it results in is heavy policing and overexaggerated cop response to public gatherings that results in people getting needlessly hurt. Try taking part in actual political activities to get change to happen. Meet with local politicians. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGLY 138 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 extremism on any side, left or right, is harmful. It stops people from thinking rationally. The last thing we need is more violence, groups like ANTIFA aren't going to get rid of Nazis and white supremacists. They're just gonna contribute to the downward spiral of violence and hate in this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuchulainn 3,040 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Don't expect people to denounce them here. The same group that cries that some members here are silent on certain subjects will make a mockery of your thread and post nothing of substance. Violence on both sides should not be tolerated.

This... also contacting your local politicians in writing is apparently pretty effective, especially if you're skilled in writing formal letters... It's a joke!

ryanripley 86,575 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 left extremism is no better than right extremism but not on the same wavelength obviously, it's in no way on the same level as wanting to harm people purely for their race, gender, sexuality etc but leftist extremist reactions WILL be the ones to make the worldwide news and put a bad taste in everyone's mouth the answer is education, for everyone and anyone. https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 this is why we will continue to protect Nazis. These other protesters wouldn't exist if America got their **** together and did something about them. And are we really going to compare? That's wack. "White Nationalists and Violent Left Wing Groups are ripping apart and tearing apart this nation." Enough. Someone else mentioned that yes these groups are creating disturbances, but one is the reason for such craziness. This is all talk and no action. People ALWAYS have to deter away from the main issue and make it everyone's fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"White Nationalists and Violent Left Wing Groups are ripping apart and tearing apart this nation." Enough. It is terrible to defend a group that has beat up people and incited violence, been against freedom of speech, destroyed private property, rioted, and burned private property. No defense for violence, peace is the answer to hate. Why are you defending violence? Denounce hate and extremism on the left and right Sad day for our nation when our own citizens can not unite against hate and violence, sad day GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the KKK should be taken care of then? Or any other form of racism and discrimination. This is what happens when we don't do anything at the political or social level. I'm not surprised. It's bad. Obviously. But we had this coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for punching in the face all the nazis and the kkk, but by the police. Do you want to see dead people? a mini civil war? this is how you start it.. And those people are destroying property of people that has no connetion to the KKK or the nazis.. They destroy shops and cars and many other things of people that maybe are left too..

I think most of them are there because they just want to fight, burn, steal, and hurt others. What ever happened to peaceful protesting? We have driven so far from our principles it is saddening.
