Recent violence: Rwingers posing as Lwingers?

I've been trying to take a little break from the daily onslaught of stories about protests and such, so I may have missed this.

However, I totally suspect that a fair amount of the violence has been instigated by extremist right wingers pretending to be left wingers so the left would get the blame. Now, I'm entitled to my opinion, but that's all it is right now: an opinion.

So, have any of you seen any real proof (not opinions or propaganda) about this? I'm looking for links, articles, etc. in reliable sources.

Thanks much.

and usually wants a government program, not direct self help. Maybe studies could be done. There were left ring violent radicals in the past, but right now, it doesn't seem like a thing really. Is Antifa really violent? I only know the right wing says so. It's their excuse, their one thing to hang onto to claim we're all the same.
