Excerpt:
Politicians, law enforcement and commentators on the left and right have accused a number of fringe groups of encouraging and participating in acts of violence.
BBC News has been examining these groups on social media platforms.
Informative article that summarizes the foundations, activities and symbols of these groups.

(14,489 posts)compared to many right-wing groups that were not listed. I know there's been a few antifa that were violent but it's been insignificant and I've wondered how many of those were right-wing plants. Executing clandestine measures to discredit an anti-fascist group would indeed be a very Republican thing to do.
Other than that, I appreciated the reviews.

(182,743 posts)That sounds like something Q would throw out to see if followers would lap it up. Too funny.
Theres a link in your article from Houston Chronicle that is also really good. Its about the 3 whole Antifas they think they caught stealing from a Target in Austin.

Thanks for posting, maybe you can make this an OP. I hope the internet is flooded with this one and others such as Patton, Schwarzkopf (Stormin' Norman), etc.
