They are modern day red youth be design, how do people not know this? The info is freely available from them.


ANTIFA, using fascism to fight fascism.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards_(China)


Despite being met with resistance early on, the Red Guards received personal support from Mao, and the movement rapidly grew. Mao made use of the group as propaganda and to accomplish goals such as destroying symbols of China's pre-communist past, including ancient artifacts and gravesites of notable Chinese figures. Moreover, the government was very permissive of the Red Guards, and even allowed the Red Guards to inflict bodily harm on people viewed as dissidents. The movement quickly grew out of control, frequently coming into conflict with authority and threatening public security until the government made efforts to rein the youths in.

What are you talking about? I sourced the far right is causing as much trouble if not more then the left. Plenty of trouble makers in both sides


You can't really believe that.

I heard it from my twin brother in Austin today who saw 5 buses of human waste in town.

He lives in Miami and commented on how pissed he was as he is only back in Auston for this weekend - and not to riot.

I sourced it. If that does not align with. A view it's "all leftist are BAD. it is all Antifas fault". The white supremists have done nothing". I can't help you. The Boogaloos boys have been proven to integrate in these protests for cover. Again are some on the left causing trouble? Yes. I have posted that.

Both sides are using protests to advance their agendas

Can you see a difference in the statement/fact that a majority of the riots, destruction of property (private and public), beatings, and murders in the street are currently being done by people that are generally referred to as the left vs your statement of "all leftist are bad"?

The "mostly peaceful protests" are leading to major destruction and damage throughout our country. And the defund the police mentality is causing sky rocketing murder rates. Surely y'all are paying attention to this. Or it's all being done by infiltrators?

You need to get better info sources. The vast majority of protestors are peaceful. It only takes a dozen or two extremists to cause significant damage. That doesn't fit with your preconceived opinions. Do your own research. I'm not doing any more for you. Did you read even one link I posted?

What crow? I never doubted we would have protests. We have had multiple reports of DPS gathering at the capital. And I'm sure we have both local resident antifas and Boogaloo members who will show up.

What I am skeptical about 4-5 busses of antifa is coming from the west coast. That makes no sense. Why should all those people bus 4000 mile round trip when they can be trouble right in their home towns?

I thought those guys were always there? I stand corrected if wrong.

Seriously though, I love 24 miles from downtown. The most exciting thing that happens here is when a tractor trailer gets halfway tossed off of the 183/45 interchange.
i totaled my truck at that intersection a couple years back....great times

Edit: no idea how that emoji showed up.

Where do you draw the line for what you call peaceful protesting vs extremist/non peaceful protests?

Standing on a sidewalk with a sign
Blocking a road
Vandalism
Reporting a fake hate crime
Looting
Destruction of property
Burning vehicles
Burning buildings
Assault
Murder

Not sure where you draw the line in this list, but unless you consider murder peaceful, there are more than just a couple dozen bad actors.
There have probably been millions of people protesting and yes a vast majority have probably stopped at blocking traffic or less so I would consider generally peaceful. But just google riots, or riot damage, or anything like that and look at the videos and images. It is not a small amount of people doing this. Probably 100s of 1000s have been on the vandalism or worse side of the equation. And the problem is that there are not a lot of the peaceful majority who calls them out or apparently even acknowledge it exists.

Some of the most vulnerable parts of our countries large cities are being damaged and innocence people being killed and I don't think it's something to scoff at.

Another edit...I'm NOT saying that antifa is being bussed in. I have no idea. And I agree that most of them are too busy destroying their home towns and austin has been super tame compared to most other cities.

maybe because Oregon is guaranteed blue and Texas people are generally not as liberal as Portland....just my thought. even the far left friends i have consider Portland crazy.

No doubt the core city of Portland residents are nuts. But your explanation did not explain a week devoted to travel 4000 miles makes sense. Even nutty people don't want to spend 48 hours on a bus twice in 6-7 days

yeah, i get that. maybe they're not leaving until November? i mean many people actually think Texas is gonna turn blue (please pm me if you want to bet on that btw). maybe they're not all from Portland? I would think antifa could recruit crazies from all over the place. I have 2 cops in my neighborhood and they didn't respond to the post about the 5 buses this morning so no idea.

And not one person identified as antifa and not one resides in Oregon. Your point?

Is it so out of the realm of possibility that we'd have local hooligans here? Why do they all have to bus in from a remote corner of the country?

I am not focused on the bussing from Portland. I am showing all this Boogaloo stuff that is not happening. All these arrests in Austin are not Boogaloo s. Not 1 story posted

Pallets of bricks showed up in cities I don't think it's too hard to imagine a few people on bus traveling.
Who cares bus or no bus the point seems to be there was some cause for concern.

Played soccer at Auditorium Shores earlier and drove past City Hall. There were maybe 50 people out front with signs, very peaceful. Looked local

That's exactly what they want you to think. I bet the Keep Austin Weird, Chuy's, and Tyler's tshirts they were wearing still had creases in them.

They love America and respect the flag so much that it flies below the Trump flag and lays on the bed of the truck.

Drove by there 30 minutes, City Hall, and not a single person outside. More police around the Capital and no one but homeless folks around the Police Station

Going to enjoy a late lunch in East Austin and get ready for the supposed fireworks tonight. Hope they don't come to Tarrytown

No, buddy, the influx of non-Austin board, primarily F16 posters was the reason I posted that. This thread quit being about Austin a page ago.

Look at the posting histories of some of the posters. If you're here much, it's not hard to find the non-Austin board peeps.
