I think it is easy to misread the implied context of your statement as
protestors = looters = antifa.
Which is of course not true.
These are three seperate groups of people and the only subset relation that holds true (using a definition of `protestors` as simply participants) is
protestors > looters.
And I guess they constitute only a small percentage.
Additionally: Not everyone who would signify themselves as part of the antifa is a looter and not every looter is part of the antifa.
I would not jump to any conlusion about the ratios `looters/(antifa looters)` and `antifa/(antifa looters)`. (Note: They are not inverse).
Overall, my impression is that the antifa plays only a minor role and was mostly brought up by T. to derail the public discussion.
- nicc 6y agoI hope it's Antifa (a terrorist organization), and not regular kids that go out and beat up old ladies.
- ReactiveJelly 6y agoAre they organized? Are they able to kick people out? They have an official communications channel to take credit for the crimes they commit, and disown crimes they don't want to be associated with?
- nicc 6y agoI don't know, but I've seen what they do, so if this can force cities to arrest them and make punishmenta harsher, it's most welcome.

- brokensegue 6y agoantifa has not been designated as a terrorist organization. it's not even an organization (but an umbrella term for lots of loosely collected organizations).
- nicc 6y agoI thought it was, the other day?
- brokensegue 6y agoa good rule of thumb is that most things Trump says are false.
