You've been asked to produce proof of them starting anything, you haven't. You are certainly correct that they appear in places to deliberately provoke antifa. But they cannot be blamed when antifa actually starts the violence. As lame as they are, I can't hold them equally responsible for the violence when antifa is the group that routinely starts the violent confrontations.

We've been over this before. If you're a "peaceful protester" you should probably not protest with people who've engaged in violence on a continuous basis for weeks, if not months. Violence that they start in every instance. If you're still choosing to protest with those people then you've chosen to make them part of your movement, not me.
