There are those in the "organization" who BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY are trouble. Violent anarchists, commies, what not. I just don't buy in that that is the majority of the groups. There is a reason that these acts have occurred on college campuses. It is easy to rile up kids in anti-establishment efforts. This seems a little trendy to me. Trends can last a few years. But then 3-4 years ago you rarely if ever heard of them.
And there IS a rise of White Nationalism and White Supremacy movements in the US. The president has a real soft spot for these guys. Maybe this antifa anti-organization organization responds out of frustration. I further think these guys picked up numbers from the Bernie Camp which had fired up a lot of young folks. I don't think is has legs beyond a few years.
Your article uses the term "they". They show up with weapons. They used molotov cocktails. Well it could be that By Any Means Necessary shows up like that 20 in a group of 200 and yet the response is that THEY are guilty. It is THEM. I don't buy it. However, whoever IS attacking cops and civilians must be fully prosecuted.
