this makes my loving blood boil, this is happening very close to me and this stuff will just spread, I'm either going to apply for a CCW when I'm of age, or I'm getting the forget out of Cali to someplace with better gun laws, Antifa needs to be dismantled and labeled as a terrorist organization, but that won't happen any time soon given that the police were told to stand down and let it happen.
PhantOS:
I always lol @ people who think that an organization that doesn't promote or order terrorist actions can be labeled a terrorist organization

With this entirely stupid and anger-driven ideology you can label the alt-right a terrorist organization because 10 of them beat up someone. loving hilarious. What's even worse is that it isn't even an organization; it's a movement. Haha

yeah this whole thing is just ridiculous lol, probably just gonna get worse. interesting how differently these "protests" by primarily white people are being reported by the media too

im not gonna justify their actions, only explain them
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_polarization

when a group of angry individuals gets together and they find their beliefs unchallenged among that group, they ramp up what they believe to the extreme. and because they act as a group and lose their sense of individuality, the consequences seem far away to them as an individual. this is another example of organized fury turning into a primal outlash. the problem is rooted not within violent individuals, but the discord causing this incredibly angry conglomerate to form in the first place. the only way to stop riots like these is not some stupid stuff like protest-suppression bills, but rather an easing of the tensions producing these situations. this requires people on both sides of the political spectrum to negotiate closer to the center.
