I'll assume it was Islamic Extremists.

So I'll repeat for the new crowd: When I am presented with moderate Nazis that speak out against such violence by their own kind I'll agree there is an analogy there.

Than again, I guess I can't expect much else from "people" who idolize and cheer for a rapist.

I already spoke out against violence by this antifa group. It's also been pointed out that much of the violence "on the left" was self defense.

However I'm not sure which rapist this refers to?

I don't know of any who idolizes a convicted rapist. Maybe just someone who was charged? Like Trump? I dunno.

If BLM (who recently just sent out a list of incredibly racist demands) is holding a rally and a bunch of white supremacists come in and violently "counter-protest", does that mean it's BLM's fault since it was THEIR rally?

BLM had nothing to do with this. The point was that everyone knew there was a high possibility of trouble. Everyone agrees the NAZI's have a right as US citizens...the city should have handled it better.

"Antifa or whoever doesn't show up if the local people were allowed to remove group's 1st amendment."
"The KKK or whoever doesn't show up if the local people were allowed to remove black people's 1st amendment."

...sigh...

Sometimes that means letting disgusting people give their opinions peacefully. If they get violent, have the police crack down on them, but it's not the job of random people to show up with the express intent of violently shutting it down.

Yep.

However it is the job of American citizens to show up and show the NAZI's they are outnumbered and their kind of hate speech will not be tolerated.

Violence goes too far.

The problem is there's a group out there that's violently suppressing any and all beliefs contrary to theirs, have a desire to murder police, and they're not getting the recognition that what they're doing is wrong.

*BUZZZ* Wrong answer.

They are shutting down people who speak of racism and hatred. Sorry about that.

As to the rest violence is wrong. There is no other way to say it.

Sadly NAZI's tend to inspire the worst in even good people because they are NAZI's.

Has that sunk in yet?

I'll guess no and that this will further descend into "but the other side got violent!!!!!1!!!!11!!"

So I'll stop. Again.
