As a Christian, I don't see where I should get behind people donning masks to crack skulls in public, or get behind people who suport racial separatism and cop killing.
Lets examine the means, not just the purported ends.

Lets examine the means, not just the purported ends.
Antifa is not a police, military, or government entitiy. Why should we bequeath them the ability to be judge, jury, and executioner?
Vigilantism just begats more vigilantism.
If you want to talk about methodology, I don't see much equivalence between throwing urine-filled bags on the one hand, and turning up to a Nazi rally armed to the teeth with assault weapons.
This from a real Christian: Rachel Held Evans
If the government won't have the cojones to stop them, then who will?
Moving the goalposts away from who are the bigoted racists, I see.
So now Jesus told us to punch our enemies ?
Then let me help. One is against the law. The other isn't.
Guess the WW2 vets didn't get your memo
"Love your enemies, unless they're racists, then yer a hero for punching them"
So, if someone is a member of ISIS and says they'd like to kill Americans, but doesn't follow through, that's ok?
Then the law needs changing.
Oh please. Don't go there. You'd be typing in German if we stayed home.
If radical Islamists turned up to a rally with AK47s, shouting "Death to America " or some similar pleasantries, you'd let them get on with it?
If they had a permit. I would walk the other way, shaking the dust off my feet as I went.
I agree with that....which makes your previous comment all the more surprising.
A Nazi is a Nazi. Doesn't matter whether they're a German Nazi in 1944 or a British or American Nazi in 2017.
Should they have a permit though?
So matt supports the racism and evil actions of the blm and antifa but condemns the racism of neo-nazis, we get it.
In America you bet. We have freedom of speech here. I support their freedom and I support the blm's freedom of speech. Just not their violence.
