Antifas make trouble again as they came down to protest President Donald Trump’s rally in Arizona on Tuesday in a chaotic manner.
The antifas referred to as “alt-left” by Trump and his supporters looked all prepared to stir trouble in the rally. Some of them were members of the John Brown Gun Club and came wearing bulletproof vests and powerfully armed with AR-15s.
They also projected to the media that they were out to play “police” role to protect protesters and their kind supposedly from “white nationalists.” The thing is, there were apparently no white nationalists to “defend” themselves from.

Some antifas also came with a clear agenda to create more chaos. They set off fireworks and even threw bottles and other debris at the police. Even Fox Business reporter Jeff Flock was stunned when he got close to where the action was at its most intense. He even screamed “holy sh*t” as explosions began going off around him.

When he asked the antifas, they even blamed the police for firing tear gas into the crowd after one of the protesters attacked the police with a water bottle. Even Flock’s reporting was affected when he had to struggle with tear gas, too.
CNN’s Gary Tuckman was hit by tear gas too, and even he had to admit that the antifas started the trouble and attacked the police first. Tuckman said to Don Lemon: “All our faces are burning, all out throats are burning. There were some water bottles thrown at the police and the next thing we felt were the burning tear gas.”
One antifa protester was so reckless as he tried to kick a tear-gas canister back at the police but he got the shock of his life when police fired either a rubber bullet or pepper balls that hit him on his most sensitive part. He was seen writhing in pain on the street as another protester, wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey, came to his rescue and took him away from the chaotic street.

Looks like a non-lethal Kent State solution might be the wake call needed for these Anti-American socialists.
