MN State Rep Was Among Antifa Mob Harassing Trump Supporters After Rally
2019-10-13
[AMGREATNESS] A Democrat member of the Minnesota House of Representatives was among the far-left riffraff that harassed and intimidated Trump supporters as they left the Trump rally in Minneapolis Thursday night. Rep. Aisha Gomez (DFL) was seen consorting with a member of the Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
 mob as he hurled profanities at Republicans as they drove by.

Hundreds of leftists gathered outside of the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis to scream at Trump’s supporters and tell them to go home.

Before the rally, a middle aged woman, her husband, and her 75-year-old mother were harassed by the vicious mob as they made their way into the venue, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported.

"Shame on you!" agitators screamed, blowing whistles in their faces. "How does it feel to be a racist and a bigot?" one asked. The woman later told the Strib, "I think that was the worst of society imaginable."

After the rally, the "protest" descended into chaos as left-wing protesters and antifa bully boyz assaulted Trump supporters, clashed with police, and burned "Make America Great Again" hats.

#15  Here's a comic-- appalling or even pathetic, actually-- example of the borderline mental illness that afflicts Panty-fa "activists".

First the utterly clueless, whitewashed CBS News account of the experience of "Louise Rosealma," a SoCal-based "activist.

Now, explore what everyone except the idiot CBS reporter knows about this nutty individual, aka Moldylocks, real name Emily Marshall. Moldylocks is a "hairy fetish" pr0n "actress" -- and she got punched because she came to the rally with a bottle and M80s, with which she attempted to make IEDs...

She's par for the Panty-fa course. There are even nuttier people there, believe it or not.

See what I mean?

#14  TW I've seen these maroons up close. Despite their stupid little slogans and random signs, the vast majority really aren't ideological; they're simply lost souls with serious emotional problems and a penchant for violence.

I yield to your personal experience, Lex. But what about those who call them out and point them in the direction of the day?

#13  #11 This is anarchy
No, this is Civil war.

Not yet. Panty-fa doesn't represent anything coherent, and neither do their street brawler opponents.

They're both fringe groups of weirdos who want to posture, shout, and crack skulls.

Not really at all like Secessionists and Free Soil types. No coherent ideas or values at all. Just mental patients armed with mace and bike locks and long sticks.

#12  Mercutio the Republicans being coded red began with the 1980 by ABC. CBS joined them in 1984 and NBC in 1996.

#10  If they were communists hey could be easily found, tracked, interdicted, disrupted. But they're not. They're a masked blob. A lot harder to quash.

#9  TW I've seen these maroons up close. Despite their stupid little slogans and random signs, the vast majority really aren't ideological; they're simply lost souls with serious emotional problems and a penchant for violence. Totally disorganized. Chaotic.

So to the extent they have any coherent program at all, it would be much closer to loosely organized anarchists than to disciplined and centrally-directed communist cadres.

Again, most of these people have serious emotional issues.

#8  In fact, city administrators are encouraging mob violence---you saw it in Portland, Charlottesville, and now Minneapolis.

Don't forget Berkeley...and San Jose as noted by Lex.

#7  Not anarchy nor anarchists. Black-booted, brown shirted fascistic enforcement. Going back to the early days, when the “anti-fascists had running battles in the streets with the Nazi lads, Antifa was made up of Soviet-oriented hard communist cadres.

#6  Antifa, a political group consisting of anarchists, socialists and communists along with some liberals and social democrats. They tend to damage property, harass and are violent of anyone who disagrees with them.

Much like Bill Ayers and the SDS of the 1960s. Seems like Antifa qualifies as a terrorist group who's best interests are not the USA.

#5  Add to the above examples the de facto stand-down orders post-BLM given to police generally by left-wing idiot mayors such as De Blasio in NY and current/recent mayors of Chicago and Baltimore.

Anarchy.

#4  city administrators are encouraging mob violence---you saw it in Portland, Charlottesville, and now Minneapolis.

Also San Jose (in 2016).

Not just "administrators," btw-- it's usually the MAYOR of the city, explicitly telling the world that he will not enforce the law and will not ensure order and public safety in his city.

We're beyond the Shitshow now.
This is anarchy.

#3  I remember as a kid, when a controversial group got a parade or demonstration permit, the police kept agitated crowds separated with police lines to keep the peace. This is not happening any more. In fact, city administrators are encouraging mob violence---you saw it in Portland, Charlottesville, and now Minneapolis.

We're headed toward Kristallnacht here in FUSA.

#2  You may notice Antifa works only in large very Blue areas. C'mon out to the boonies and try that shit, Sweetpea.

BTW_ [off topic] I think the Donks should be the Red faction since they are. How'd things get so reversed.

#1  Very soon members of this group are going to push too far and multiples of them will be well ventilated.
