The protesters were not of the same mind as that gray-haired white guy causing destruction.

I’m seeing lots of instances like this of people committing violence. Kudos to the guy who ran and captured the troublemaker, and to all who pitched in to move him to the police.

They show up at every major protest of any kind and THEY are the ones who start breaking shit.

Trying to ignite the race war they believe Trump has promised them. I'd like to get Trump on the ground and shove each and every one of these racist pieces of shit straight up his ass.

and tactics, but the vast majority (at least up until these new protests) are actual far LW or anarchist radicals.

Now that the RW is starting to mimic them, it is going to create a massive, fog of war shitstorm of confusion, and one that only the RW will benefit from.

Calling it a clusterfuck is an understatement.

Almost always the same look and the WS people arent usually young, thin & with a full head of hair. These are the same people that showed up at WTO, G7, etc, conferences back when Obama was president. They even wear the same type masks. They're simple anarchists the right calls "far left" & the left calls "far right". Trouble makers for whatever the event is.
When we get names they'll be a lot easier to figure out. I bet i'm more right than wrong

He is gray-haired and trying to hide his identity. I wouldn't be surprised if he is tied back to a group behind trump or fascists.

video? He's dressed all in black, yelling something at the cops that sounds like "FU cops" Appears to have an armband on his right arm, or maybe it's just a stripe on his clothing.

Looks like he could be a friend of the concrete smasher.

logo)

no clue what his politics are (he has that Guy Fawkes logo on his chest so is either hard LW or a RWer playing false flag) but whether he is LW or RW he is a poster child for trouble (as is the bloke who got arrested)

If he is RW, then obviously armies of him are terrifying, and if he is hard LW (anarchist type, etc etc) he give the MAGAts their perfect foil to project fear with, scare the fuck out of the soccer mum crowd with, and crack the fuck down on ALL anti-Trump protests in the name of 'smashing antifa', <<<<< which is a bullshit false flag op itself
