Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” according to interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by POLITICO.
Since well before the Aug. 12 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, turned deadly, DHS has been issuing warnings about the growing likelihood of lethal violence between the left-wing anarchists and right-wing white supremacist and nationalist groups.
Previously unreported documents disclose that by April 2016, authorities believed that “anarchist extremists” were the primary instigators of violence at public rallies against a range of targets. They were blamed by authorities for attacks on the police, government and political institutions, along with symbols of “the capitalist system,” racism, social injustice and fascism, according to a confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI.
FBI, Homeland Security warn of more ‘antifa’ attacks - POLITICO
Oh...and that would be Obama's FBI and Homeland Security.
The rest of this article can safely be ignored because, as we all know, Politico wouldn't BE Politico if they didn't try to spin this against Trump.
The important points and questions:
Antifa has been considered domestic terrorists...yet have been allowed, by the Feds and local LE, to act at will. Will this change? Will they continue to tolerate these terrorist thugs?
The Mainstream Media has been minimizing the dangers of that group. Will they now change their tune?
The Obama administration kept this information from the public, at least, and probably from LE. Does anyone think that is acceptable?
And, finally, for all you fellow forum members...those who have downplayed or supported antifa's violent, unacceptable behavior...now that you have OBAMA'S administration saying these things about them, will you still tolerate them?

.....law enforcement authorities made clear that Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric and policies — first as a candidate and then as president — helped to create a situation that has escalated so quickly and extensively that they do not have a handle on it......
From the OP / article.

Like I said...Politico will be Politico.
But tell me...do you have any answers to my questions?

Should they "continue to tolerate" the KKK and neo-nazi terrorist thugs?

I prefer the ARA (Anti-Racist Action Network) to Antifa. They still show up at the Nazi gatherings, but tend to be more peaceful.

In the United States and Canada, activists of the Anti-Racist Action Network (ARA) doggedly pursued Klansmen, neo-Nazis and other assorted white supremacists from the late 1980s into the 2000s. Their motto was simple but bold: “We go where they go.” If Nazi skinheads handed out leaflets at a punk show in Indiana about how “Hitler was right,” ARA was there to show them the door. If fascists plastered downtown Alberta’s Edmonton with racist posters, ARA tore them down and replaced them with anti-racist slogans.
That said, I believe that any group who is working to fight the ideals of Neo-Nazis, should be prepared to defend themselves. These people are historically very violent.

Wow, that article damn near made Antifa out to be saints or white knights. Reality is that they target more than just white supremacists and neo-nazi's. They target anyone that they believe is racist. Including people that are simply defending the right to free speech which does not in any way shape or form mean that they are supporting racist or nazi ideology.
They also attack anyone filming them.
And cops.

...Good

They also attack anybody that owns a business near where they are rioting.

If they are terrorists no, not at all. If they just think and say that the white race should be superior no. One has the freedom to think and say what they wish.

That's just the icing. Kill the Kikes, Niggers, and Spics, is the rest of their freedom to think and say what they will. Plus umpteen others who don't fit the Blonde hair, blue eyes, Aryan gene pool.
A pox on all of their houses.
The KKK are terrorists.
