Fortunately it doesn't seem like anyone was shot at this event, but I'm sure that the media would be quickly trying to bury the story had one of these masked mercenaries killed someone. Of course if one of the "protesters" shot someone it would be headline news for days.
We are under an awful lot of scrutiny, and it is not going to be fair.
Antifa should be labeled domestic terrorists, "violent extremists", criminal street gang, or whatever. There are a lot of very bad people in those masks and carrying that flag. We should know a lot more about the group of people who showed up at this event with masks and guns, of course we'll never learn any of it from any mainstream media source.

This is the SAME bunch that has been engaging in bullying and terrorizing a young lady just for exercising her 1st Amendment rights.ajwakeboarder wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 9:51 am I honestly don't really care about antifa carrying. They have a right to carry as long as they don't break any other laws.

"If you think Antifa are not operating in large numbers in Texas, you are sadly incorrect. I’m a 22-year-old from Denton, Texas and an unapologetic conservative activist. I spent much of my time at the University of North Texas, from which I just graduated, leading its main conservative student group, the Young Conservatives of Texas. And for that, Antifa and the far-left here have sought to intimidate me into silence by doxxing me and my family, and threatening me with violence and even death."
"My first experience with far-left extremists from the Dallas-Fort Worth area was during my senior year at UNT when I began to speak about my political and religious beliefs. In October 2021, I organized a pro-life prayer vigil on campus. But what was intended to be a quiet and somber evening quickly turned into a nightmare."

"After that second event, the far-left escalated their targeting by going after me outside of campus. That semester the Daily Beast published a smear piece against my brother and me titled, “The Conservative Twins Behind Transphobic Campus Hate Campaigns in Texas.” The hit piece was co-written by socialist activist Steven Monacelli, a far-left radical himself who is currently being sued for libel by a Texas newspaper. He has had his own history of violent extremism reported by The Post Millennial."
"After the article was published, threats against me increased exponentially. Most of the targeted harassment and threats were aimed at making me feel unsafe wherever I was. I also became a victim of identity theft and bank fraud. Doxxing, where one’s personal information including address, phone number, or banking information is released, is part of the modus operandi of Antifa."

One UNT student and a member of the John Brown Gun Club, Garrett Lee, threatened me on Twitter: “For legal reasons, this is a direct threat. Enjoy your kneecaps while you’ve still got them.” I reported it to campus police, but again, nothing happened.

Still think they're responsible enough to be carrying firearms around?
