Everything ANTIFA thread

[BugI02]

Just read on Fox news that Andy Ngo is Leaving the country because it’s no longer safe here. Maybe he should just leave Portland…

I think it has already gone down and he set up in the EU somewhere

Edit: Quick goto says London

Which is odd. He could move to a more conservative location here in the states and be relatively safe. Maybe not Indy, but someplace similar.

 

[BugI02]

Perhaps he's worried about ice picks, and pretty much all pointy things are verboten in London

 

[rob63]

I wouldn’t consider London a dangerous place, but it’s not exactly what comes to mind when I think of moving somewhere to get away from Antifa. People literally march around with Soviet flags there.

This emboldens the left. Now they think they can run off anyone they disagree with. We’re losing the culture war

It doesn't have to be pointy.
Any kind of weapon is illegal.
I've seen folks arrested because they had a baseball bat in the trunk (or rather the boot there) of their car.

The police officer asked "What's the purpose of the bat?" ... the owner answered "It's for defense" and got arrested.

Holy Crap

I believe self defense is illegal in England.
People are told, "If you see a crime being committed, don't get involved. Leave it to the professionals."

Yep, you're supposed to have a baseball next to you bat and say "it's for sport officer", otherwise you get arrested.

A baseball bat is categorized as an offensive weapon in the UK.
You can't carry those in public, including in your car.

It's even worst in other places in Europe.
In Poland you can't buy or even own a bat unless you have a sporting licence to prove you are part of a baseball club.

You can't just walk into a store and buy one.

So violent crime must be non-existent there, yes?

I wonder if our resident INGO supporters of Biden, or rather the arm up his ass, thought this through? Not only no guns, but no other weapons or dual use items, and probably no anything else that a fertile imagination could apply as a weapon. My guess is that large flashlights are illegal as well

I mean I'm sure they have low bat related attacks ... just a bunch of stabbings instead (besides most knives being also illegal to carry).

knives are more concealabke and can be home-made. Boards and tool handles also make serviceable improvised weapons.

In most places including in the UK and to an extent in France you have two kinds of weapons.

Weapons that we call "by nature", weapons designed to to a weapon (gun, some kind of knife like a "combat knife" etc).

Weapons that we call "by destination", improvised weapons carried or used with the intent of using it as a weapon.

Usually weapons "by nature" are illegal to carry, and weapons "by destination" are legal to carry if you can prove it's not being used, or that you are not planning on using it as a weapon.

It's usually based on the person's profession and largely based on the officer's mood.

You can get arrested for carrying a long screwdriver but if you're a contractor you will be good to go.

If you're carrying a machette while hiking in the woods, you will be fine.
Carrying the same machette in the London Underground will get you arrested.

Holy Crap

When I was in the UK, a friend of mine's parents were both police officers. I was talking to them about how I've carried a gun daily for almost 20 years now, and asking them legal questions.

You can not even use your CAR KEYS to defend yourself if attacked. You will go to jail for it. ANYTHING intended to cause more harm than your bare hands is illegal.

Further more, you must show an ID to buy a whisk or a spoon at the store, to prove you are over 18.
It's a good reality check for people who think "that could never happen here."

Yet, ironically, the only "gun violence" I've ever personally witnessed happened across the street where I was staying there. I even have the story. https://www.scotsman.com/news/dalkieth-familys-terror-gun-attack-home-2512847

I stand by the assertion I have made for years that the most dangerous phrase in US English is "This is America. That can't happen here."

I just would have thought the fools who don't believe it can would be farther removed from us.

Isn't being in Portland functionally equivalent to being out of the USA?

So can Narwhal tusks.

Coz they're awesome.


Although I heard about a woman over there that got lectured by the police and threatened to be arrested because she was in her kitchen and saw some punks breaking into her shed. She tapped on the window with a knife. Rather than track down the offenders iirc in the snow, they just chewed her out and left.

Nothing like a 5D cell Maglight to get some attention.....
