DC: Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin said Monday it’s time to classify Antifa as a gang because of the brutal attacks against peaceful supporters of President Donald Trump Sunday.
Previously lionized by mainstream journalists as largely peaceful counter-protests to neo-Nazis, the press made an abrupt about face after more than 100 masked Antifa activists dressed in black showed up at a demonstration at Martin Luther King Civic Center Park on Sunday and began beating unarmed Trump supporters.
The attacks have prompted Arreguin to speak out against Antifa and call for the group to be classified as a gang, KPIX 5 reports.
“I think we should classify them as a gang,” said Arreguin. “They come dressed in uniforms. They have weapons, almost like a militia and I think we need to think about that in terms of our law enforcement approach.” MORE
SNIP: Is he for real? He just noticed this?
How about classifying them for target practice?
Yeah, a “gang”…like ISIS is a “gang.”
Czar, I know, right? It’s called TERRORISM. Why is the left afraid to apply that to anyone but they apply it on someone on the right who is a little too uppity for their tastes?
Why don’t we just put a bounty on them and let nature take it’s course?
This mayor must be getting some heat from some where because he is THE GUY that gave the stand down orders to LEO.
First Peolsi, now this guy? Someone must have yelled wolf in a glass house.
He just noticed the polling.
More like someone yelled ‘Wolf!’ in a stoned house.
Be watchful. Pelosi, Feinstein. this guy and others, the numbers are growing. I doubt for a second they have ‘seen the terrorism light’. Something is up. Could it be the planned violent diversions have completed their purpose?
It may be too late to call off the Soros paid violent antifa. They are chanting for their money, so are they getting out of control, and the idiot lefties are getting worried. After all, THEY are the elitist. THEY are the 1%. THEY are the power holders.
MM, I agree. Why the sudden MSM backlash on antifa? Not productive to the Narrative?
BB — Isn’t this the guy who is part of BAMN? Or is it the mayor of San Jose?
They created a creature that is now beyond control. They’ve seen them turn on other liberals, and it scares them.
I’m not a fascist, because I call myself “anti-fascist”.
I’m not hateful, because the shield I just used to slam into that old man’s head says, “No Hate!” on it.
The enemy is stupid and hopelessly deluded and in dire need of old fashioned lead poisoning.
Not a gang, but a terrorist organization. Sign this petition to the President to designate antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/formally-recognize-antifa-terrorist-organization-0

Great read. Communists is all they are. Altifa. They are PRO fascist.
Fascism/Communism/National Socalism all have common goal.
TO MJA
This is just a lame, Leftist, preemptive attempt to “punish” (nudge nudge wink wink) AntiFa, by labeling them “Bad Boys” without any real world consequences.
A little different with “Domestic Terrorist.”
Don’t be fooled by this mayor. He’s a Marxist who’s totally on board with BAMN (By All Means Necessary).
He IS Antifa 100%.
He’s only playing to the ignorant voters.
AA,
I think they both are. And the Hispanic San Jose Police Chief is in bed with La Raza.
gang my ass they are a race that has recently evolved.
a race of white people haters.
I never believed in evolution until now.
They are actually anti-civilization, order, culture, or anything else, including statues.
Domestic terrorist really doesn’t cover it, but it’s close enough for government work.
“Antifa is a gang” but you can bet the mayor still believes their message, that Trump and his supporters are fascists.
Okay, Romney and Ryan, y’all can say bad things about aintifa now. But you still might want to watch out for your shadows.
The mayor’s nick name is “butt cheeks”.
The Left created this monster, realized it’s cannibalistic, and doesn’t know what to do about it. They also realized it’s not good for ‘business’.
Poor Democrats, too stupid to know how stupid they are.
Domestic terrorists, hunt’em and kill’em. They can’t stay on a guarded campus forever and they easily mark themselves for ID after the party. Find the buses that are bringing them in and flatten the tires.
He certainly is an Antifa sympathizer–
