That is definitely how some of the investigations start. The rest I imagine are idiots talking about their master plans to sane people who then report it to the FBI. Then the FBI agent has the sane person introduce them to the wannabe terrorist as someone who can provide them with much needed support. While I am glad to thin the gene pool by having the FBI lock these assholes up until they are infertile, I am curious how many of them would actually go any further with their plans if the FBI agents didn't intervene and give them the support and encouragement to continue.

as the world turns

The Root just interviewed the guy, Corey Long. His version of the story makes it even better.

http://www.theroot.com/interview-how-corey-long-fought-white-supremacy-with-f-1797831277/amp

recap posted:

The 23-year-old elder care worker says he went to the counterprotests to have his voice heard. He didn’t want to see racism win and destroy the city he was raised in.

“I went out to voice my opinion. To have my freedom of speech. Just like the racist Nazis who took over my town,” Long said in an interview with The Root.

But what started out as a peaceful protest eventually turned violent. And Long says the cops stood around and did nothing.

“At first it was peaceful protest,” Long said softly as he spoke. “Until someone pointed a gun at my head. Then the same person pointed it at my foot and shot the ground.”

Long said the only weapon he had was a can of spray paint that a white supremacist threw at him earlier, so he took a lighter to the spray paint and turned it into a flame thrower. And a photographer snapped the photo.

But inside of every photograph there’s an untold story. If you look closely at Long’s picture, there’s an elderly white man standing in between Long and his friend. The unknown man was part of the counterprotests too, but was afraid, and Long and his friends were trying to protect him. Even though, Long says, those who were paid to protect the residents of Charlottesville were doing just the opposite.


“The cops were protecting the Nazis, instead of the people who live in the city,” Long said. “The cops basically just stood in their line and looked at the chaos. The cops were not protecting the people of Charlottesville. They were protecting the outsiders.”

Some may wonder why the cops didn’t do more to protect the normally quiet town, but Long wants to know why the KKK were allowed to march, when the same city wouldn’t let rapper Waka Flocka hold a concert.

“They shouldn’t have allowed it. They wouldn’t even allow Waka Flocka to come down. You wouldn’t let a rap artist come down, but you allow the Nazis? There’s something wrong with this picture,” Long said.

Calling bullshit on the shot being fired at his foot, but I believe everything else.

Good story, but that picture is so loaded it hardly needs it. The flower just barely in frame, the black men standing with a white man and fighting back against the nazis, etc. etc. etc. Seeing this happen to a place I considered my home for years really crushed me, but I'm glad to hear all the stories about people fighting back.

The whole "antifa is worse than Nazis" thing comes largely from Eastern Europe where a handful of terrorist groups claim to be part of the antifa community. Back in I believe the 40s all the way through the collapse of the Soviet Union they were the IRA of their areas, only they didn't care who they killed and went after anyone who didn't agree with their methods. Its not much of a thing anymore but some of the groups supposedly still exist and hide in the European antifa community.


Anyone using it in the states is legit retarded. Because literally no antifa groups here have the stomach for violence that the black flag terror groups in East Europe used to earn that badge.

You seriously think people stateside have that historical consideration? Antifa wasn't even a phrase here until this last year. "Antifa" is a catch-all term for conservative pundits looking to paint any kind of liberal gathering/protest as a violent protest ("so much for the tolerant left!"). Think of how BLM has been demonized and repurposed, just for white people.
