You'd be much safer doing that than handing out "Vote Republican" ones in California...or in Portland.

That's really your take on an antifa group, exposing these plans for violence? Is that there are no fine people on either side.

True one does not have to expose Antifa, they just do it. This whole thing is west side story but instead of gangs fighting over ethnicity, they fight over political views. What is fine in helping to turn downtown Portland into a battle zone? Up until now the alt-right violence has been a lot more lethal. While still true this is beginning to change. This is going to escalate into street battles with assault weapons. Less bad people does not equate to fine people.

Plenty of Cuban expats in New Orleans when Oswald was there. In fact, he had gotten into a street brawl with some Anti-Castro Cubans while handing out Pro-Castro fliers... having written to the Fair Play For Cuba Committee about the altercation days before the fight had actually occurred. That, and the address stamped on the fliers having been Guy Bannister's detective agency, which was a hotbed of CIA and mob sponsored Anti-Castro underground activity was just another of the many strange and inexplicable things that never made sense about Oswald.

The George Floyd riots offered an opportunity for alt-right milita groups to ferment dissent. If you notice since the Charlottesville protests the alt-right milita have turned up armed to the teeth and seem to be waiting. They also turn up to trump rallies on the pretext of "providing support" and the Trumpers naturally see them as allies despite the obvious connections to neo-Nazis. Trump supporters and Fox media attacking Antifa is playing into their hands.
