So is the mainstream media in downplaying the activities of these domestic terrorists.
Nothing says peaceful like a police car on fire, rocks thrown though windows and painted obscenities on buildings on Peachtree Street in Atlanta.
Of course, we have seen this before.
Remember the coverage in Kenosha, WI by CNN in 2020?
Fires raging all around in the "mostly peaceful protest" as reported by CNN.
Of course, who can forget the months of protests and violence in Portland in 2020 with calls to defund the police and remove all federal law enforcement from the city.
By now I would think that Antifa and "peaceful protest" would have to be considered mutually exclusive terms,
At the time we were told that Antifa was motivated to action because of the fascist and racist President of the United States at the time.
We were told that all would be fine if Donald Trump was just removed from office.
So much for that excuse.
You might also recall that FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before a House committee in 2020 that Antifa was simply an ideology, not an organization or group.

“It’s not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology.”
A bunch of people show up in Portland, Kenosha or Atlanta wearing all black, wielding weapons and carrying incendiary materials and they are just random ideologues out for an evening stroll?
This is the conclusion of our Federal Bureau of Investigation?
I am curious how is it that if Antifa is just an ideology why so many ideologues happen to show up randomly at appointed times and places if there is no group and no organization?
Let's take a look at the six people arrested in Atlanta Saturday night.
None of the six arrested were from Atlanta. Five were from out of state.
How did they decide to come to Atlanta?
Where did they get the money to travel to Atlanta?
How are they supporting themselves?
Here are the six who were arrested in Atlanta on Saturday night.
Evatt is from Decatur, Georgia. The only one of those arrested from in-state.
Geier is from Nashville, TN.
Feola is from Spokane, WA.
Ferguson is from Nevada.
Murphy is from Grosse Ile, MI.
Carrol is from Kennebunkport, ME where his father is reportedly a prominent surgeon. When arrested on Saturday night Carrol was already out on bail for a previous arrest for domestic terrorism.
Yes, just a few random folks with shared ideologies out for a Saturday evening walk.
Another seven individuals (note they were all young, white (single?) females ) were arrested earlier in the week (when most that age are working for a living) after throwing rocks at police and possessing what appeared to be Molotov cocktails.
Several times in these pages (here, here and here) I have written about the curious fact that so many of those in the BLM, Antifa and other far left protests are young, white women.
Why?
Those young women who were arrested were from places like Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Rhode Island, Minnesota and Tennessee.
What group?
What organization?
Nothing to see here.
Let me remind you that all of this stems from the plans of the Atlanta Police Department to simply build a police training center in suburban Cobb County. Both environmental extremists and Antifa have found it objectionable. Tensions escalated at the site when one of the protestors was killed by police after allegedly shooting a Georgia Highway Patrol officer. This led to the "peaceful protest" by random ideologues in downtown Atlanta on Saturday night.
You may recall that Donald Trump was roundly criticized by the media and others when he referred to Antifa as domestic terrorists and that the organization should be labeled a domestic terrorist organization.

It was after these statements by Trump that FBI Director Wray pushed back and said there was no Antifa group or organization that could be called domestic terrorists.

However, Wray had no problem using the term "domestic terrorism" when it came to January 6th.

We also never heard the term "mostly peaceful" from the media on January 6th either.
There are a lot of problems in this country right now.
However, right at the top of the list are the double standards we see applied by the media in news coverage and in the administration of justice from the highest levels of our federal government.
Why is it also true that the truth is right in front of our eyes with so many things but there are so few willing to admit seeing it?
