Antifas loot stores in Brooklyn

Dozens of alleged ‘Antifa’ members damage stores in Brooklyn

The NYPD is searching for suspects from a group of roughly 75 people who damaged several storefronts in Williamsburg on Saturday night. Sources tell FOX 5 NY that they were allegedly members of the group known as 'Antifa.'
Authorities say they responded to a 911 call around 10:20 p.m. at the Apple Store on Bedford Avenue, where they discovered a broken glass window with the letters “FTP” spray-painted on it.

There is also this ATM heist:

Burglars Pull Off Daring ATM Heist At East Village Deli, Cause $10,000 In Damage, Store Owner Says

Store employees said the thousands of dollars in damages is especially hurtful because the business just paid for expensive renovations to provide better service to customers during the coronavirus pandemic.
Police are looking for the men accused of pulling off a daring ATM heist in the East Village early Friday.
[...]
Authorities said the criminals pulled the cash machine from a wall, leaving behind thousands of dollars in damage.
“Why would you do that to a small mom and pop operation and somebody in your own community?” said Tom Mazenis, the deli manager.
Mazenis said it’s just as upsetting that the suspects got away with the brazen crime on a street where cars and even an MTA bus drove by.
“This is ostensibly the city that never sleeps. Who didn’t see this happening and call the police?” said Mazenis.
“I need more police, like before,” said Collado.

Cities like NYC do not need to defund the police, they need to increase police funding and presence! NYC is already hurting because of the pandemic. This lawlessness will further damage the city and its economic base. Unfortunately, BdB was anti-police even before the George Floyd inspired insanity.

They're not TRUE Antifas.

It's Fox, of course the looters are antifa. That doesn't mean they really are.

Antifa seems less interested in looting to just causing destruction and anarchy.

That got sprayed on walls here a lot too. I'm surprised that there are those in the USA who spray-paint 'Fuck The Pope' graffitti.

"Antifa is not a unified organization but rather a movement without a hierarchical leadership structure, comprising multiple autonomous groups and individuals.[14][46][48] The movement is loosely affiliated[8] and has no chain of command"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)

Being Antifa means nothing. I was in Swedish Antifa when I was a kid = got wasted in squats hitting on girls with piercings and green hair. It's not an organisation. It's nothing. It's a badge you can buy from China. So that's basically it. If a kid has an antifa t-shirt then he is. And that is all he is; a kid with a t-shirt. It's not much of a terrorist organisation. It's more of a fashion accessory.

since the group known as antifa doesn't exist, this tells us one of two things has to be true:

- FOX is full of shit.
- Fox's "sources" are full of shit.

Can you give me one reason to continue reading once that's established?

It wasn't Antifa... it was the Confederate Army... people are saying.

Well, our long experience with Antifa in the Northwest is that they attack people and destroy property. If there’s looting, then that’s some other element.

Of course it exists. It started as the paramilitary organ of the German Communist Party.

Note the use of the same emblem. The modern Antifas see themselves as the successors of OG Antifas from 1920s Germany.

I think any shooting story should lead with "NRA member kills ### people..."

More likely to be true, and if it isn't, it doesn't really matter anyway, according to 'them'.

 

[ideologyhunter]

What's the name o' that passel o' varmints that's been lootin' the country, these past four years? The Mar-a-Lago Hillbillies? Seems right. Pa Trump, Ivanka Mae, and cousin Jethro Kushner. What they've done to the Secret Service budget alone, now that's lootin'. Antifa should be taking notes.

 

[Arctish]

I forget, were the looters making their getaway in a Rolls Royce affiliated with Antifa or some other political movement?

Oh, stop it. The American one has nothing to do with the European one. In Europe the real AFA is dead and has been since WW2. The Nazis were very effective in supressing it. In East Germany the communists incorporated the surviving Antifa-fighters into the communist government, which effectively killed it. It re-emerged among leftist kids in the 80'ies as a response to fight Nazi skinheads. But had nothing to do with the original. They weren't funded by the USSR. Which makes it a new thing.

And then we have the American one, which has zero connection to anything in Europe. No, it's not an organisation. It's nothing.

But Derec has a picture of an antifa guy carrying a flag that he bought off of the internet because he found it when he searched for "Antifa flag". That guy is obviously directly related to the pre-WW2 commie Antifa movement, and gets his marching orders direct from Moscow. The historical facts just do not matter, because Derec has a picture... of a guy... with a flag... case closed.

Images of Eddie Izzard just popped into my head.

That reminds me of the person who kept posting links to articles on Jihadwatch, as if that settled arguments. Can't remember who it was. And never understood that it was just conspiracy theory craziness.

Isn't it interesting how Reich wing media and propaganda make stuff up about anti-fascists at the same time as fascists have taken control of the country?

Totally coincidence, I'm sure.
