    Probably read it in a pro-AntiFa puff piece, that's about the only possible answer.

    Why do you post this in a thread titled "Counterprotesters of Charlottesville"?
    This picture was taken on May 2, 2015 in Chicago following the killing of Freddie Gray by 6 police officers.
    It is misleading at the very least to try to shore up Trump's arguments. By focusing so much on the opposition, in a misleading way, you are, in effect, deflecting from the real problem: the Nazis. I am assuming that was not your real intent here.

    I'm pretty sure it was meant in response to this, try to keep up with the thread.

    Now that said, I'm pretty sure those were Black Bloc and not AntiFa.....but let's be serious, those are just 2 sides of the same coin.

    Again, you don't even bother to read the response...
    Charlottesville 2017 is not the same as Chicago 2015. Try to stay awake

    99.9% of Antifa must not have gotten the "be violent" memo.

    Or btg is talking out his ass again.

    Probably old enough to be your father....but that doesn't change the fact that your question was answered accurately already and you are showing that you aren't intelligent enough to understand it.

    Do yourself a favor and go re-read the back and forth and see if you can figure it out. Good luck!

    Lets leave it to others to figure out whether an answer was ever given to why a tweet about a picture from 2015 was posted in a thread about counter-protesters in Charlottesville 2017.....
    And no, it is highly unlikely you are old enough to be my father ...

    several months ago the lefties on the board were disowning antifa as anarchist scum that caused trouble violently and were not a left wing group. It seems now they have fully accepted and are buying the propaganda. That's an unfortunate shift.

    The facts aren't dependent on other people. Let's see, you've gone ad hominem, and now ad populum.....care to try any other logical fallacies before simply realizing that when you asked why someone posted a photo, I answered that it was in response to a different poster who suggested that AntiFa weren't against cops. The photo showed what the poster likely believed to be AntiFa calling for dead cops.

    Your fairly pathetic failure to follow along with that wouldn't become less embarrassing if others shared your failure. Now put the hat on and head to the corner little man.

    Oh no, Fox News has already made the day out to be complete liberal bedlam, a riot of epic proportions.
    My friends who are there say it's been pretty peaceful and great. But I'll go with Fox on this one -- they never have an agenda when it comes to a liberal gathering! LOL.

    There were hundreds live streaming the event, why rely on news outlets or "a friend told me"? Wouldn't you rather just see things for yourself unedited?

    Trump's greatest "strength"/attribute, is making everyone fall DOWN to his level. (While convincing some that its sturdy takedown "strength" )

    Trump is the manifested villain of what the Left always imagined they were fighting against. So the validation Trump provides for Leftist self-righteousness is just too hard to turn away from.

    Add to that the outright Right wing provocation, in-your-face sh** talk, and challenges of other's "toughness", and it was gonna turn into a scrum. (If the Democrats/Independents play it right, they can use the erosion of "PC" culture by Trump to their OWN advantage to get to the point without the fluff. But not looking likely). Yeah we're all screwed
