The Tide Has Turned Against Antifa

The media has finally done the unthinkable and turned against the mob of "black, masked thugs" who call themselves Antifa (so called "Anti-Fascists,") who ironically wield shields and weapons to attack protesters/supporters/reporters with the words "No Hate"...

(Side note: I honestly think this turn would have happened sooner, in Charlottesville, if you didn't have idiots holding Nazi flags and driving cars into crowds...this is what Trump meant by "violence on all sides.")

In Antifa's own words, at the bottom of their organizing website:

"We do not cooperate with Law Enforcement."

(Mark my words, this will change now that popular opinion is against them and the masked students are identified. Members will point fingers at others real quick.)

The change seemed to happen when KTVU anchor Frank Somerville, a well-known Bay Area TV personality, shared what happened to him on Facebook when he took a trip to Berkeley on Sunday. Somerville (who is not a conservative) explained that Antifa protesters threatened to destroy his phone and attacked him for the simple act of trying to document the rally, which notably took place on public property. He declared he "experienced hate first hand."

Since then, article after article condemning the group for violently stopping peaceful conservative protests in Berkeley this weekend are pouring in. All headline images courtesy of Zero Hedge and the respective papers:

Sensing the tide is turning, even Nancy Pelosi chimed in:

"The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted."

This comic was published long before the events at Berkeley, and now it's even more relevant:
