I have expressed on several occasions on this forum my disdain for BLM and my opinion of Antifa is similar. Who among you saw the mayor or governor doing or saying anything that a thinking and fairminded person would consider ''thugish''?  In spite of their 1st amendment right to speak and protest and no matter how peaceful they are, armed men and women wearing swastika arm bands, waving nazi flags and shouting anti-Jewish and anti-black chants would not be considered ''innocents'' by most Americans. By all means let them march an vent, but do not claim ''some of them are good people''...nazis are not ''good people''. 

This forum obviously, thank God, does not fall anywhere near the thinking of the average American!  Your post, Phil, is sadly much more illustrative of the typical opinion and degree of incivility toward opposing comments that has become typical on this forum today.
