A Soccer Game Becomes an Anti-Fascist Demonstration in Portland

SFC (Join to see) - It seems when we have white supremacist groups going out and killing other Americans while Antifa hasn't killed a single one, going after them as a terrorist organization seems rather politically motivated.

Don’t take sides friend. Wrong is wrong. In this case both sides are evil and need to be called out. I don’t think of one less then the other, in this article we are talking about Antifa, there’s no reason to bring anyone else in to the conversation. I guess I’m saying in this case one side doesn’t justify the existence of the other... both must go. SPC Kevin Ford

SFC (Join to see) - I don't think so. The politics of false equivalencies is what makes one side feel they don't have to deal with their really horrendous nonsense because the other side has something they can think of as similar but isn't even in the same ballpark.

It's how we get super stupid comments like 'Some Very Fine People on Both Sides'. No, no there weren't.

You came close to identifying it without actually doing so: one side feeds off the other. All we can do is condemn both sides. As for “some good people on both sides”... a prime case of that is that poor girl that got ran down by those Poor Boy jerks, or whatever they call themselves. The point is this otherwise good girl attached herself to the one bad side that was there. No decent person is going to be caught between there Right and Left Wing Socialists. She was young and idealistic and didn’t see the evil parts of the grout she was standing with. How sad. Do you see there really is good on both sides, misguided good, but good none the less.

CW5 Jack Cardwell This is probably the best reason to ban all political signs. A lot of people together in one place and if they allow Antifa signs then they will have to allow everything pro and con on any issue which may lead to more fights and large ones. We can see from Europe's Soccer matches that a huge brawl in a confined space with limited means of egress is a bad thing.
