A few days ago I posted about the irony of Antifa claiming they were “true Americans”. When John Schussler then asked, “What looting, bombings, or beatings are you referring to?”, I was shocked. I thought everyone was up to speed on those activities. Apparently, there are some information bubbles that sufficiently insulate people from reality.
The data is so overwhelming that I can’t imagine the legacy media does not know the truth. They are blatantly lying if they say Antifa is peaceful or does not exist as an organization. The people who believe the lies are, at best, willfully ignorance.
Here are some of the evidence links I found:
- First Antifa terrorism charges filed in Texas
- Unmasked (book by Andy Ngo)
- Antifa Defense Fund
- Advocating harassment and violence
- Travis County DA: Three members of ANTIFA arrested for looting Austin Target store | FOX 7 Austin
- Antifa launch ambush firebomb attack on Atlanta police – Andy Ngo
- Multiple police officers injured in violent Portland riot at ICE facility | Fox News
- District of Oregon | Four Defendants Charged with Assaulting Federal Law Enforcement Officers, Other Offenses During Protests Near Local ICE Office | United States Department of Justice
- Multiple police officers injured in violent Portland riot at ICE facility | Fox News
- Andy Ngo, May 2019 | X
I highly recommend Andy Ngo’s book, Unmasked.
See also what Jonathon Turley has to say about them.
Turley has also written a book on them which I was not aware of until today.
I gave the listed links above to Copilot and asked for a blog post with citations supporting my assertion. This is the result:
Documented Criminal Acts Attributed to Antifa: A Summary of Reported Incidents
In recent years, Antifa-affiliated individuals and cells have been implicated in a range of criminal activities across the United States, including looting, bombings, assaults, and attacks on law enforcement. While Antifa is not a centralized organization, its decentralized networks and ideological cohesion have led to coordinated actions that, in several cases, escalated into violence. Below is a summary of documented incidents drawn from news reports, federal indictments, and investigative journalism.
1. Firebomb Ambush on Police in Atlanta
On March 5, 2023, a group of masked Antifa militants launched a coordinated ambush on police officers at the construction site of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
According to journalist Andy Ngo, the attackers used explosives, firebombs, and rocks, injuring officers and setting construction equipment ablaze. The incident was widely reported and documented with video evidence on social media platforms.
2. Looting in Austin, Texas
Three individuals identified as Antifa members were arrested for looting a Target store in Austin during a protest. The Travis County District Attorney’s office confirmed their affiliation and charged them with burglary and theft. Fox 7 Austin reported that the suspects were part of a broader protest that devolved into property destruction and theft.
3. Attack on ICE Facility in Texas
In a federal indictment unsealed in 2023, the Department of Justice charged two men affiliated with a North Texas Antifa cell for attacking an ICE facility. The indictment alleges that the men used incendiary devices and coordinated the attack as part of a broader anti-government agenda. The case underscores the federal government’s concern over violent extremism linked to Antifa ideology.
4. Assaults on Federal Officers in Portland
During the height of the 2020 protests in Portland, Oregon, four individuals were charged with assaulting federal law enforcement officers. The Justice Department detailed how the defendants used projectiles, including explosives and rocks, to breach federal property and injure officers. These incidents were part of a series of nightly confrontations that often involved self-identified Antifa participants.
5. Explosives and Riots at ICE Building in Portland
Fox News reported that rioters breached an ICE building in Portland using explosives and rocks, injuring officers and causing significant property damage. The report noted that many of the participants wore Antifa insignia and coordinated their actions through encrypted messaging platforms.
6. Investigative Reporting and Firsthand Documentation
Independent journalists such as Andy Ngo and Wiretap Media have extensively documented Antifa-related violence through firsthand footage, interviews, and social media posts. Ngo’s book Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy compiles years of investigative work, detailing incidents of beatings, arson, and organized attacks on government institutions.
Conclusion
While Antifa is often described as a loosely organized movement, the documented incidents above suggest that its adherents have, in multiple cases, engaged in coordinated criminal violence. These actions have targeted law enforcement, government facilities, and private property, often under the guise of protest. The evidence presented here underscores the need for continued scrutiny and legal accountability for violent extremism, regardless of political affiliation.
