Didn't that antifa guy get his skull caved in and brain damage from that punch?
probably
he went rigid
sign of brain damage
I hope that there's no serious violence but if there is, I'd put my money on the Proud Boys
I could see someone getting grievously injured, but dying is a pretty remote possibility given the lack of effective weapons and immediacy of first responders.
There's always the chance of some lunatic bringing a lethal weapon of course, like a gun or IED.
But mostly this is fists and placard sticks.
At the end of the day people are pretty fragile. People die from being punched in the head all the time, and lethal weapons can be anything from a fruit knife to a rock you found on the street.
that punch could have been lethal
I dunno man. I've seen some pretty awful injuries and the people involved make near complete recoveries.
so could him landing a shot with the baton
exactly
either one could have been killed and its only guna be worse
When you get two groups together who are waiting for excuses to harm the others I'm surprised things have gone as well as they have, but I haven't seen any reason to believe this event is going to be particularly worse than any other
its funy because if they dont show up nothing will happen
antifa i mean
Was on an op once and a dude from another platoon got shot in the shoulder with 7.62x39mm. They didn't even send him home.
This sort of thing definitely never happens at any sort of left wing rallies
and I don't mean to say that it's the people throwing the rallies who are to blame
That affects the calculus I guess.
I recently read, I forget if it was an article or an antifa discussion board where someone was complaining about how that reduced their effectiveness compared to the antifa of the past.
because they arent fighting anything real
if antifa doesnt show up the proud boys wander around and then find beer
Also in terms of class this isn't the same antifa. This isn't working class people who work for a living. These are college student activist dipshits who have never done a day's work in their lives.
It annoys me to see them flying the three arrows of the iron front. I wonder how many of them realize that they weren't only anti-nazi, but anti-communist as well
If this was like dock-workers or warehouse workers agitating then things would be different.
tbh the only people who suffer are the protestors on both sides
what are they accomplishing in the end ?
Don't forget the innocent garbage cans
being the top news story ?
like you see all these anti-trump rallies what are they really doing ? just making fools of themselveS?
@Timcast What did the OWS protestors accomplish ? Getting the park revise it's rules on allowing them to camp there modified ?
OWS got the DNC to mvoe all its money to Amalgamated bank
Amalgamated is Union owned
Alls these protestors do is accomplish a misdirection on real problems
A lot of the modern left wing rallies don't really seem very political. They seem more about fashion than anything
OWS changed the conversation from jobs, to class equality, to identity politics
because, yoiu know, that's going to win elections
@Timcast do you think that's how the birth of the far left began at OWS ?
