A Beating in Berkeley
[WeeklyStandard] Antifa mayhem and malice in Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park.
In which our fearless reporter (no, really) gets to know Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson and his friend Tusitala “Tiny” Toese, a Samoan-American who used to find Trump voters to beat up until he met and spoke with the Japanese-American Joey, and spends some time with them as they interact around San Francisco.

#1 You are correct Matt Labash, Joey Gibson does not sound like an alt-right; more like a confused hippie. AntiFa, on the other hand seems like a 1960s Weathermen reboot with black garb.

#2 "AntiFa, on the other hand seems like a 1960s Weathermen reboot re-jackboot with black garb."

FIFY John and agree

#3 I have met both Joey Gibson and Tiny Toese. They are genuine, decent folk. Tiny's story of transformation from potential AntiFa thug to Patriot is compelling. They are novices at being activists, but they have a solid message that exposes the lie that is AntiFa as well as those that support them

#4 I was watching a YouTube segment the other day. A reporter was interviewing protesters in Austin. The crowd, of about a 100 was the rudest, most unininformed obnoxious crowd. What struck me is that although they were all carrying signs such "Impeach Trump," few had a clue as to why he should be impeached. One protester did offer "He lied." When asked what Trump lied about, he could not come up with anything. Some girl kept squawking a duck call in the face of the reporter but other than that she was mute to questions asked of her. Another huge guy who seemed to only know swear words told the interviewer to "get the fuck out of my city you prick--it seemed as if he were about to go violent at any time on the interviewer.

Because the people seemed to know nothing about why they were protesting, it seemed to be a "hired crowd." They all parroted the same simple messages. They are just one part of the constant drumbeat against Trump that goes on in the many large cities in the U.S. I'd look to Soros and others for their links to these protesters. Much of the chaos and unrest in the U.S. would disappear if a crimp were put in the style of these puppeteers. I'm not advocating any violence but it would be nice if these folks, for a change, had to spend much of their time fending off early morning raids and IRS investigations, RICO investigations, giving depositions and spending time and money defending themselves in the courts.
