Hmmm ...

Members of Redneck Revolt have said they were sought by counter-demonstrators to provide safety. Yet, the group’s relationship to the left-wing protesters appears to be absent from ICAP’s suit.

"Just as they had anticipated and indeed desired, these [white-nationalist] groups encountered significant resistance from counter-protestors within the so-called Antifa and other movements," the lawsuit states. It goes on to suggest that those counter-protesters "fought back with comparable intensity, though without the hallmarks of private armies that characterized the Alt-Right Defendants’ contributions to the day’s violence."

Saying that the "counter-protestors" (antifa) "fought back" suggests that they were attacked. That's not the way I understood things went down.

It was happening at the protests/riots in St. Louis, several weeks ago. There was a photo of police talking to a guy who had a Glock stuffed down the front of his pants, with a 30-round murder/death/kill mag sticking out of it (sticking out of the Glock; not the pants). His associate was carrying an AR, or something. The police said it was all quite legal, because Missouri. And all this time, I thought white privilege was required...

Oh, and you might have heard about Emo Hawkeye (https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2017/09/22/emo-hawkeye-remember-the-genius-with-his-gun-down-his-pants-in-st-louis-now-he-has-a-friend-with-a-bow-and-arrow/).

Insert joke about going off half-cocked ...

The taped-up eyeglasses really complete the look.

Antifa is a far cry from the peaceniks and flower children who protested against the Vietnam war. Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas any more.

I think where was plenty of the Antifa types then too. It wasn’t all peace, love, rainbows and pink unicorns during the 60’s and 70’s.

There was a massive amount of left-wing violence in the sixties.  Thousands of bombings...

I still remember seeing pictures of the Black Panthers toting firearms back in the 60's and 70's.

As Matt Bracken has said, "We are one mag dump away from Civil War 2.0".

Wow.   I have the same airsoft M1A (BB gun actually)..... except I don't stick cardboard tubes on it. :facepalm:

I also have a real M1A.   The magazines don't have holes in the baseplate.  That one in the video doesn't handle like a real M1A,  which is heavier than its airsoft plastic counterpart.

I would bet most of Antifa YouTube channels are parodies...

We've had a few of these Atifa types protesting around the courthouse.  Not many, maybe half a dozen or so, complaining about local government, court rulings, etc.  I'll take them a bit more seriously if their M.O.  Question...do you think they practice/train at all?  Not the airsoft types.  I'm sure they do lots of mil sim.  I mean the real firearms.

Well, if they do have a militia, the good thing is they'll only get one shot off before they collapse into weepy heaps of PTSD...

Yeah ... this one: https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Winchester_M14_CO2_Air_Rifle/2719

$79.95 at Pyramid Air.

(https://cdn.pyramydair.com/images/PY-2719_Winchester-M14-CO2-Air_1463162905.jpg)

You saw it here first -- stand by for a whole new class of anti-gun legislation. The next round they'll be after "machine assaulting" rifles. (And maybe camo hoodies with ski goggles.)

What I really want to know is where I can buy an M14 "machine assaulting rifle" that fires 12-gauge shot shells.

Did anyone else notice that our intrepid hero seems to have a Canadian accent?

Good for them: more gun owners for the cause.
