Antifa is a movement of violent totalitarian thugs, reminiscent of the NAZI Brown Shirts

Barbara Kay, a respected commentator for the National Post, raises an alarm and a criticism about both Antifa,  a movement of violent totalitarian thugs, and North American governments  which have failed to charge them with their crimes and intimidation tactics.

She shows that the fascist Antifa criminals are  permitted by American  authorities to conceal their identity in left-wing Oregon and elsewhere dominated by Democrats.

Their behavioui mirrors similar criminal elements who operate in Canada, who claim legitimacy as opponents of the so-called Establishment.  Their actions amount to a form of terrorism and definitely intimidation.  Canada has laws against that sort of behaviour.  The press, or established media, appears to glorify or be amused by them.

In Oregon the masked Antifa terrorists attacked a reporter who has covered their activities, including vicious personal assaults inflicting brain damage.  The Portland police were typically slow to act.

The attack served to illuminate what all responsible people know and have long known about Antifa. Antifa stands for “anti-fascist,” and claims to stand against racism and far-right ideology, but many of them are merely thugs shoehorning bully impulses into a political boot. They consider any dissidents to PC dogmas fair game for intimidation, doxing or assault.

As Ms. Kay said - "In Canada, in the 1990s and early 2000s, we knew Antifa under the rubric of the Black Bloc, which targeted civilians, notably journalists, for harassment or worse."  This has been the tactic of crazed left-wing Socialists and Mar\xists for many decades.  They do not deny it.

In the US,  the Department of Homeland Securty has described them as perpetrators of  “domestic terrorist violence.”

Amongst leftist elites, Antifa is described as  “a courageous group of Americans.” by such luminaries as Joe Biden, a Democratic candidate for President.
 
Antifa is a bunch of “rich kids in masks.”   They are despicable criminal terrorists, who are protected by their Democratic and Liberal admirers.

When Trudeau, Climate Barbie, and the Liberals acting as destroyers of Canada's economy, or Wynne and McGuinty having nearly bankrupted Ontario and forced residents to pay three times the fair price for electricity, can get away with their political games, from wild spending sprees, false prosecutions and damning Alberta and the West to economic hardships and other deceptions, of course the antifa thugs think they can get away with their brand of violence and intimidation.  And the police are complicit with government's silent support of this thuggery as evidenced by their deliberate failure to deal with the crimes of the thugs.
