No IT

Antifa don't go into towns look for Nazi's to beat up or innocent bystanders for that matter. You will have seen the footage of that young kid being beaten up by a gang of nearly 100 Nazi's.

Antifa stand up to these scumbags when they appear like vermin. I won't condemn violence meted out to these thugs. They want it they get it. Good!

Again you are trying to defend their right to march into someone else's town in Military fatigues with guns and sticks and nazi flags. That is not freedom of speech.

You do know what the Nazi's did to people borm with defects don't you IT?

No I am not ok with Nazi's and White Supremacists marching into town with guns

It is not illegal to carry guns in the US, it is not illegal in the US or Britain ? to carry the Nazi flag
In Britain it is part of our culture to wear Nazi emblems , punk rockers did this it was our culture and it is their culture.
I like our culture, and I like theirs.

Yes I know history death.

I am no fan of the Nazis or any violent socialist movement whether they are fascist or communist.

I am not fan of violence of any kind.

Your support of violence is interesting.

I feel violence leads to move violence. The Nazi elements go to the statue protest looking for a fight. They found one with Antifa.

Non peaceful protest is the answer rather than violence.

Of course some countries would have banned the punk rockers
America is not one of them.

And should the punks have been a new music movement starting today, in today's Britain
Would we be so tolerant ? I don't know.

you never answered my question pineapple,

Just because something is legal, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be opposed.

good morning lfc, i hope i wasnt too rude to you or for that matter trader. good luck to both of you with your beliefs.

goodmorning swagman thankyou, but I don't think I have very many beliefs , it's too much trouble.
And sorry I was rude also .

IT - ideally obviously no-one would be carrying any weapons. I suppose if you were planning on opposing a march and you see on local tv and the internet that said marchers are turning up in fatigues, and carrying assault rifles and baseball bats then I could understand the desire to be in a position to defend oneself.

PP - you think there was no pre-planing to take weapons by the counter-protestors before they saw the protestors had weapons?

The counter-protestors just grabbed their weapons and headed out on to the street when they saw the protestors were armed?

Still defending those scumbags IT

Maybe someone was right. Are you paid to right this tosh?

Yes , I remember when I first stated work at 16 , in a factory, the older men making fun of me for having a girlfriend who was a punk rocker  :) haha, but I knew they were jealous  :)

I was a soul boy at the time and loved the jazz funk music at the time. I did however hang around the Kings road mainly after matches with a few Chelsea lads who were Punk rockers. It's a regret that I never got into the scene a bit more

The LA does a piece on the violence from different groups:

I was a Soul Boy too but also wore a black biker jacket. My fiend was a punk but very often people would come up to me and say your rocker mate is getting into trouble so I'd have to go over but he hated being called a rocker and say in his drunken stupor " I'm not a rocker I'm a punk! ". Go figure.

There was plenty of violence where I grew up but it was purely based on if you want it you can have it. Most of us drank with Punks, Rockers, Skins, Mod's, Psychobillys and whoever but I think we drew the line at New Romantics. The Soul Boys were the real tough guys which I found strange, peace and love man!

He is still at it. Where do these Antifa people go into towns to arrange rallys and beat random people up?

They turn up to oppose Nazi's!

Are you freal!

Bit too young for original punk (first single was I don't like mondays and was a massive Adam Ant fan). Loved the later punk though. Happiest nights of my life in the Parrot in Duke St in the pit in the basement while the likes of Bad Brains and Bomb Disneyland were on. Aah, bliss.

So if you don't like the look of someone, just call them a nazi and then it's ok to beat the crap out of them.

Wonderful.

Duke Street as in Binnys?

Oh man that is a whole different ball of wax!

I think you are brave for admiting to I don't like Mondays and Adam Ant! I remember grabbing a smash hits of a kid on the bus and burning Adam Ants eyes out! He complained to a teacher who said " don't tell tales boy! "
