i am pointing out that both sides are frankly bat shite crazy and both sides came geared up looking for confrontation so they could crack some heads

But you are conveniently omitting the fact that one was marching in order to exercise their right to free speech and the other was EXPLICITLY in attendance to engage in whatever tactics were within their means to disrupt that fundamental exercise of liberty.

That the marchers knew that antifa was opposed to their right to assembly and would be willing to engage in violence does not make them complicit, it makes them willing to stand up to intimidation in the name of liberty. That they were prepared to defend themselves is what I would call RATIONAL rather than of equal motive or intent. And nothing you have said has demonstrated otherwise. Whether you find them to be generally unsavory characters or otherwise.

I agree with everything you said except this part. I think they were only too happy too accommodate ANTIFA and bust some commie heads.

Look - frick an anarchist but both sides are a crazy that is all I am saying.....

My point is that both sides congregated in Berkley looking for a fight.

I agree with this but I recognize the context of two years of Soros funded brownshirts trying to silence the opposition through violent means. Blowback was inevitable and in no way created this moral equivalence you're suggesting.

Not possible.

You know, you're right.

You'd have to have shame or even a modicum of self-awareness to be embarrassed. My mistake.

Isn't that what you are suggesting here? Violence by the far right is a product of violence by the far left?

Like I said in my previous post, what the Free Speech supporters did was no different than what Blacks did when they tried to break the KKK's Sundown Law.

Blacks just wanted to break the KKK's Sundown Law by peacefully staying in the county past sundown.

I'll bet you had no problem with Blacks being prepared to defend themselves and defending themselves against any KKK members who physically attacked them when they tried to break the KKK's Sundown Law peacefully.

The Free Speech supporters just wanted to break ANTIFA's Conservative don't get to speak in Berkeley Law by peacefully having their rally in Berkeley but they were prepared to defend themselves against being physically attacked by ANTIFA for exercising their First Amendment right.
