Missouri governor pardons St. Louis couple Mark, Patricia McCloskey after guilty pleas in gun-waving incident

Of course you can. They generally are anti-capitalist and anarchists. That doesn't mean they all are.

But you just said they are not a homogeneous group - now you claim that generally they ***DO*** share common goals. Which is it ?
And what is your criteria for "generally" ? 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% what ?

And what evidence do you have that Anitifa meets that criteria ?

Sure there is. Antifa isn't just in one country. And the aren't "so-called Antifa protests". They call themselves Antifa at the protests.

What then is the point of showing videos taken in Ireland, if Anifa is NOT the same around the world ?

You can contact your preferred Antifa chapter here:

No you can't - they're just random FB pages from people opposing various objectionable attitudes
There is no formal Anifa party - merely people who claim to be Anti-Fascist

Are you Antifa? Why or why not?

Why aren't you ?
Are you not anti-fascist ?

You can keep saying it over and over and over again but it doesn't make it true. Why do you want it to be true?

Because it is
Sure there are lots of people who are into protest and that covers and wide spectrum of political views - but the RW use the Antifa label as a threat to scare ordinary voters into supporting Republicanism. It's a bogeyman for them to scare people
And secondly, it's a stick for the same RW to beat and tar any opposition to them. Just like you just did
You criticize Trump, what's the matter, are you ANTIFA ?

@Rich2018

I'm anti-fascist. I'm not Antifa as the movement is mostly anarchist and anti-capitalism.

I believe black lives matter, but I don't side with the political part of the group or any violence.

I believe in some conservative policies, but I will never vote for the conservative narcissistic misogynist.

I'm pro-2A, but I will never side with irresponsible gun owners.

I'm pro-life, but I don't agree with every single pro-life person on the topic.


It's sounds to me like you've already made up your mind about Antifa and no amount of proof will change your mind. You aren't interested in the facts. So.... see ya.

 

[Rich2018]

I'm anti-fascist.

So you're either pro-fascist or indifferent to the existence of such regimes
Nazism in Germany for example ?

I believe black lives matter, but I don't side with the political part of the group or any violence

Why should you have to ?
Or more pointedly why don't all political parties agree with this ?

I believe in some conservative policies, but I will never vote for the conservative narcissistic misogynist.

The right wing has policies ?
Republicans offer nothing except reactionary actions
(unless you count tax breaks to allow the rich get richer).

I'm pro-2A, but I will never side with irresponsible gun owners.

So mass shootings don't bother you at all ?

I'm pro-life, but I don't agree with every single pro-life person on the topic.

What pro-life views do you disagree with ?

It's sounds to me like you've already made up your mind about Antifa and no amount of proof will change your mind. You aren't interested in the facts. So.... see ya.

No, they're just an umbrella group that offer no single message

They are not the bogeyman the RW conveniently paints them to be...they are like the "Deep State" in that respect.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A judge has expunged the misdemeanor convictions of a St. Louis couple who waved guns at racial injustice protesters outside their mansion in 2020. Now they want their guns back. Attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey filed a request in January to have the convictions wiped away. Judge Joseph P. Whyte wrote in an order Wednesday that the purpose of an expungement is to give people who have rehabilitated themselves a second chance, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. City prosecutors and police opposed the expungements. Immediately after the judge's ruling, Mark McCloskey demanded that the city return the two guns seized as part of his 2021 guilty plea to misdemeanor assault. Republican Gov. Mike Parson pardoned the couple weeks after the plea. ..

Surely if they have rehabilitated and need a second chance, they should renounce what they did..? Count me confused by this expungement.

Before anyone asks, I found this thread by doing a search for 'McCloskey' via thread titles to use someone else's thread, as I've already started 3 threads today alone

The appeals court didn’t buy it the last time he made this argument

They didn't do anything wrong. All they did was protect themselves from a pack of BLM terrorists.

That's not up to you.

So take it to the Supreme Court if leftist judges in lower courts are standing in the way of justice.

Who cares?

He can buy 15 more if he wants.

LMAO.. You are correct, it's up to the Missouri appeals court which has ALREADY told him to piss off...



SCOTUS is not going to entertain this dumbshit's appeal...

I always am.

No. It is up to the higher courts.

That's not up to you.

This denigration of your fellow Americans is just as shameful as your eagerness to violate their civil liberties for no reason.
