    Have you reached your quota of Breitbart Meme SPAM? Yet?

    Or should we expect about another 50 Meme Spam Posts?

    And, Totally LMAO at this RW deflection to "Antifa" when Trump CAUSED the El Paso Massacre.

    A rape list is a rape list. It is a fact that rape gangs in England made rape lists.

    So no links to back your claim?

    I would have though you'd want to bolster your case.

    The govt is going after Antifa as a domestic terror group-largely because its getting so violent and radical. The reason for the designation is to provide more resources for investigation....





    Importantly, declaring a suspect a domestic terrorist isn't just a rhetorical gambit: A formal classification of "domestic terrorist" bestows a new class of investigatory powers on the Department of Justice (DOJ). As NPR explained in the aftermath of the Charlottesville incident, "domestic terrrorism" isn't a criminal act itself but a categorization that, under federal law, defines "acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law" that appears "intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population." In the eyes of the United States government, terrorism is necessarily an organizational crime rather than a "lone wolf" one, and requires a more aggressive investigatory response. While federal law does indeed specify a number of specific terrorism-related crimes, it's this separate designation that allows the government "to investigate not only an individual suspect, but also any group the suspect may be affiliated with."

    As a result, a terror designation would allow for the U.S. government to investigate and punish members of antifa despite the fact that the organization lacks the coherent structure or organization of, say, ISIS. Indeed, the structure of terrorism-related offenses under federal law "allows prosecutors to seek high terrorism penalties while avoiding the problems of proving that the perpetrators actually have the motives characteristic of terrorism," as the Brennan Center for Justice's Faiza Patel explained back in 2015 following Charleston shooter Dylann Roof's arrest. "More common offenses like shootings or kidnappings don't necessarily fit into this scheme for obvious reasons: including them would sweep in regular criminal activity." Throwing a milkshake isn't the same as hijacking an airplane, but both would be "terrorism" by designation in the Trump DOJ's eyes.

    Perhaps he thinks terrorist cells can't be beaten because they are "loose collections".

    He's trying to figure out if his loosely collected group of Antifa cronies is going to jail or if he can skirt the law. He might know of something being planned and is concerned.

    Not as "Problematic" as a RACIST President (like Trump) that CAUSES Mass Killings (like in El Paso).

    Much like the Black Panther Party had a right to exercise the 2nd Amendment (which caused Ronald Reagan to promote gun control), these people have a legal right to self defense.

    This concept of defining this group or that group as a terror group, enemies of the people, etc. is a very slippery slope.

    I like it when people who think differently than me support the Constitution. It would be great to unify around the Constitution.

    I will say while on the subject of gun control we may have to rethink the age at which someone can own a gun. A 21 year old used to be an adult. Now with the drug use, inability to find or keep a job, living with Parents for years after completing school, limited life experience, estrogen compounds in the food/water, more limited military service (via the ending of the draft) and for many young white males the inability get a woman interested in them, what percent of 21 year olds are really adults? Just throwing this out for discussion and something I do not have a firm opinion on.

    Its not so much a slippery slope when the 2 defining factors-violence, and for political purposes is used.

    As for the age thing-the flip side is there are plenty of 18 year olds fighting for their country in the military, there are young adults serving as police, fire, ems, etc.

    Apparently right wingers don't like it that the left also has the 2nd amendment.
    Got them shaking in them boots that they can't just go and kill around with them around.

    That guy got suspended when he was caught with his rape list.
    He also got suspended when he was caught with his kill list.
    It takes the right wing NRA who supports the idea this this guy can just mail order an assault rifle.


    The blood is on the hands of that institution.

    I bet they didn't make the SPLC hate group list. If the violent Lefties want to up arm from bike locks and cement milkshakes to guns, well, it should be long before they are sent running back to mommies basement.
