While there isn’t much to say about Antifa that’s ostensibly nice, it wouldn’t be too ridiculous to consider that there are some facets of the loose-knit, “non”-organization that could be at least understood to be of a high quality.
Their opportunism, for one.
You see, this group never misses a chance to exploit a crisis or a coincidence, finding nearly any reason to riot at any time.
This week, the ongoing siege of Portland, Oregon intensified as these anti-conservative cretins marked the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder with violence and angst.
Police in Portland, Oregon, declared a riot Tuesday night, making arrests after rioters smashed windows and threw objects at officers on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death, according to authorities.
A crowd of roughly 200 people – many dressed in black – gathered outside the city’s Multnomah County Justice Center. Some lit a dumpster on fire and tagged the justice center with graffiti, while others yelled, “Burn the building down,” police said.
Images from the scene were soon circulating on social media.

The crowd has marched to City Hall and is breaking out the windows.

Violence aside, (as despicable as it was), the exploitation of Floyd’s legacy by Antifa is a purely selfish decision by the group, and will likely draw a great deal of criticism in the coming days.
