of antifa=white supremacy.

an overwhelmingly White, liberal city.

Some Thorns fans have expressed concern that the nazis might hang around and try to hassle the crowd. I don't think even the biggest bully in their bunch will really want to tangle with Portland soccer fans.

There are other ways to confront. Sponsor a free clinic. Have a concert with an anti-hate bent. Get your message out without doing the same thing the fascists are doing.

They're not going to take a hard pass. The camel keeps sticking its nose under the tent.

Antifa is decentralized. They don't exist per se. They are not going to sponsor a concert.

I’m in Seattle. They’ve been a real problem here for years, and I never have thought much of their violent response, and sometimes just violence. I get your point though. They believe their POV and won’t likely do otherwise. But they give the right talking points.

I'm in Seattle too. I'm downtown every work day. I've barely noticed their presence.

Are you thinking of the Anarchists who smash windows occasionally? That's not Antifa. There might be overlap, IDK.

Are you thinking of the dude who punched a Nazi at Westlake a couple years back? That was some random drug user, not Antifa.

Are you thinking of when the Antifa who showed up on Inauguration Day to protest Milo Yiannopoulis' UW speech, when Josh Dukes got shot point blank in the guts by Elizabeth Hokoana for taking away Mark Hokoana's Pepper Spray (that he was deploying on protestors)?

They're anything but a "real problem". They're our allies.

Big mea culpa. I’m sorry!

Hopefully everyone will ignore everything and it will all blow over, with no need for narratives.
