#1 If I were the proud boys I'd have some spies join Antifa Portland and get as many names as possible of Antifa members as possible and to record evidence...

The list of members could then be used in case of a lawsuit, or to inform their employers/parents of their activities, or to go after their employers if the employers support Antifa, or simply to sew dissension among the scumbags and get them hunting for spies and purging their ranks.

#2 I like it, ruprecht.

Note that the Panty-Fa loons are so cracked that they couldn't even recognize that National Review's Kevin Williamson was just tagging along with them, as a reporter. According to Williamson, at one point they actually began following him, thinking he wasn't just one of them but was actually the Panty-Fa Pantocrator.

All you need to go undercover, really, is some skinny jeans sagging down your arse and a hobbit-style black hoodie + black bandanna round your mouth.

#3 The 1968 Chicago "Protest" Riots at the DNC Convention weren't spontaneous. As my older sister told me that on the University of Oklahoma campus there were several busloads of students going and they boasted that that "Chicago was going to burn!" if the SDS/Weathermen didn't get their way.
So it's in the genes -- Stormtroopers just gotta Stormtroop!

#4 The disadvantage that the Right has here is that almost everyone will be employed or in some trade, indisposed for 24/7 of this shit. Antifa will be composed of unemployed welfare collectors and people on the DNC payroll. They can get paid holidays for this 'duty'.

Secondly, spreading mayhem and chaos needs no training or coordination. You just provide a direction for a mob and of it goes. While targeted crusade requires training, tactics and coordination. I'm not sure the 'proud boys' will have that. Clearly they need help.

That the police are afraid to lose their bloody jobs for touching antifas provides freedom from any fear or apprehension. The nationalists will not have that protection. In fact they are most likely arrested before the rioting even begins.

The right clearly needs players. Maybe those coming back from Afghanistan, Iraq veterans and ex-cops with some lead left can provide that ? If they did, the boys could run circles around these antifa and their federal protectors.

#5 Congress should pass a law that crime forfeits government benefits. Maybe after the GOP wins the House.
