@davidallen you know what?
I retract the loss of respect comment. It's just a message board. Just politics. Life is too short to get pissed off about it.
If you want to change your personal real life opinion of me because I think someone whose declared themselves to be "ANTIFA" has crossed the line from pitty to ridicule, well that's your prerogative.
I think it's a silly myopic team politics, tribal thing to do and I think you know better.

You can lose respect for many things. In this case, his judgement, ability to discern, and impulse control loses respect.
Team politics is championing the message over the person. IMO you do that when you are "thoroughly entertained" by the humiliation of others. Which of these lines was most entertaining to you:
Yellow sweatshirt: "You really I think I almost committed suicide for social brownie points?"
Off camera: "Yeaaaaahhhhh, I do!"
- or -
Off camera: "You see how I know I can take it? You see there are no track marks on my ****ing wrists."
Yellow sweatshirt: "Are you kidding me - did you just make fun of people cutting themselves?"
As to my opinion of you - if you find that funny, if this is your idea of entertainment - I have a misconception of who you are. My bad.
Sorry, but when you appear in a public place, especially in some sort of quasi protest antagonist role, and you willingly display your history of stupidity to those you're antagonizing, I don't feel a bit sorry for you when they insult and then chortle about it. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
What I found entertaining was the entire predictableness of the encounter. Apparently they need to figure out their audience.
Your problem as far as I can tell is that you don't understand that ANTIFA are bullies. I don't like bullies. I have a legit 'I kicked my bully's ass in high school story' and to this day it's one of my proudest moments... but I digress.
Your confused kid is a bully who is actually a giant pussy and his soft underbelly was exposed and eviscetated by a smarter (unmasked) person with words. Free speech. Something the ANTIFA clowns are against.
Yellow sweatshirt bowed up to the narrater, thus declaring his allegiance to ANTIFA. Once you pick that side, you are:
1. Against free speech
2. An anarcho-communist (wannabe).
3. A f*cking bully
I could not possibly give less of a shit about yellow sweatshirt's origen story. Obviously he's F'ed up. He's ANTIFA. They are all screwed up or they wouldn't think that was a good idea.
I already said in any other CONTEXT (it matters) he would be pitiable and worthy of empathy. Continue to disregard context though.
He publically chose a side and got hilariously owned. I'm glad he did and I hope it changes his path. He needed to be shamed. It's good for him. And I say that with undiluted, absolute, pure sincerity. Mocking ANTIFA is necessary and vital.
Now, if you don't like that, I respectfully suggest your own confirmation bias is the problem - not some regrettable insight into my true character. But if that's your line, so be it. It'll cost me not a nanosecond of sleep but it will disappoint me.
I like him. Follow him on twitter and have had unsolicited private conversations that show me beyond doubt he's a good guy.
Then I stand corrected given your additional resources.
I expect from those that are "Good" a weightier consideration than what was extended you in this thread given the volume and makeup of your posting history. We don't exist in a vacuum.
First, apologies for personalizing. Strong feelings on this one that went over the line. Mea culpa.
Second. Was yellow sweatshirt Antifa? How do you get to that conclusion? No mask. No flag. No sloganeering. His mere presence makes him fair game?
Finally, horse is dead. Both opinions expressed. QED.
Fair response. Thanks.
I'm assuming ANTIFA as he came to the camera in apparent aid of very clear ANTIFA.
I concede that I'm connecting dots here.
He should have asked the short guy behind the mask if when they talk about how many members they have if he is counted as a full person or just half?
I am not sure why there are not some laws passed about protesting. You have my blessing to protest but you will not do it and wear something that covers your face. Lets see how many of them feel bad enough to destroy property if they cant hide.
