File under: Antifa

#1 Purchase Zim passports for each of them. Deport them all to Harare. Chain-deport sympathetic family members as well.

#2 I sort of like them getting real time feedback on how out-of-the-mainstream their point of view is. Not that they are actually getting the message.

#3 Wouldn't this be PROFAIL?:)

#4 Maybe people recognized that AntiFa is just another form of fascism, tyranny and thuggism.

#5 Did they not show up because Soros stiffed them on the pay?

#6 Shows you what a full-page ad in the NYT is worth these days. They should have spent the money on giant puppets.

#7 Or because most of them have attention span of a gnat? Mind you, IMO, the serious ones are seriously studying terror tactics.

#8 I saw a couple pictures where bundles of signs and placards are waiting for use. Makes me laugh on the money Soros wasted for this.

#9 This from the comments in a fawning article about the event in SF Chronicle:

Subject: TURD...... LATEST FROM MENTAL HEALTH OFFICIALS

Do You Know Someone Suffering From Trump Unacceptance & Resistance Disorder (TURD)?
Know the signs, spot the symptoms, and save a life.
TURD is a pattern of pathologically dissociative and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time.
Sufferers of TURD often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of rage, rioting, and uncontrollable crying.
People with TURD are characterized by a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again.
TURD Is caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America.
Research is ongoing, but TURD appears to correlate closely with the following environmental and behavioral factors:
· Membership in the Democratic Party
· Identifying as a Feminist
· Currently enrolled in college, and/or Possession of a Liberal Arts college degree
· Living in a densely populated metropolitan area
· Massive student debt
· Spotty or non-existent work history
Patients with TURD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups. Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality. Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement.
If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TURD, urge them to seek treatment. Together we can beat this scourge, and Make America Great Again.

#10 Story in the Seattle news featured many 'close up' photos - seldom showing that there was only about 70 protesters (and I'll bet more than half of them were journalists there to report on the 'massive uprising').

Epic Fail.

As someone commented "There were bigger turnouts at the DMV."

#11 Mind you, IMO, the serious ones are seriously studying terror tactics.

The fascists (antifascists) are most closely linked to the far left. The serious ones are like Bill Ayres and his ilk; they are basically domestic terrorists.

#12 Maybe the reason they had such a low turnout was people were rejecting facism. Antifa's specifically

#13 Maybe this was a trail balloon. See what kind of response the other side would put up. Or maybe they are shouting 'wolf' a few times to take people of their guard.

Let's don't get too complacent. The Brown Shirts were out-of-the-mainstream too but still very dangerous.

#15 Who plans a protest the weekend the new Call of Duty drops? They were all playing the game and mom probably forgot to remind them.
