shutdown of demonstrations to become a virus in state legislatures across the land. At the very least anarchists and alt righters have more in common than not. They do us Democrats very wrong with violence.

Although I'm not crazy about the violence and destroying property..it certainly is getting everyone's attention. What I see positive about this is that young people seem to care...and are getting involved. Would love to see more peaceful college campus protests around the country.

infiltration to cause trouble. That they wear face covering shows they are probably someone who wears a badge or receives an income for being there doing just that.

We're in a chapter of the shock doctrine, think beyond what you could normally expect because this is not normal... that part of life in America is gone.

Name flashed briefly on the ticker as the voice of....

She was pointing out the guys that were all dressed in black as "professional protesters". She said that there seemed to be a lot of anti-Trump protests mixed in with the Milo protests.

"professional" protesters. I really don't get destroying the building though. They are going right up to the door with the cops on the other side.....That is fucking nuts! Don't they know Trumpass is gonna lock them up for 10 years or more???

Again it's good to see young people so passionate..this is a yuge voting block that we need. But this destruction is only used against us.

sure have an ironic penchant for fascist imagery, dress and tactics.
I used to be a punk too and know where they're coming from... but
I don't think they really have clear objectives besides intimidation and anarchy.
