Video: Chicago PD Arrests Antifa

Chicago, IL – A small group of Antifa, dressed in black, with faces covered, initiated a protest in Chicago on Tuesday evening. It didn’t go well for them.

The group started gathering at around 2 PM to protest some court action against somebody that they say is a white supremacist.

The Antifa group seemed intent on blocking the roadway during their rally, and Chicago PD repeatedly told them to get out of the road. Then scuffles between Antifa and the police broke out during an arrest.

In a video from Chicago Tribune reporter Tony Briscoe, you can see police playing tug of war with Antifa over one of their members near the North Center Courthouse after he refused to get out of the road.

Amazingly, the rest of the Antifa group was not arrested for interfering with the arrest of their comrade. There were two Antifa arrested in the scuffle.

Later, a third Antifa got arrested near a news van. It’s not clear at this time what that suspect was arrested for.

Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization which has a history of vandalism and assaults, which include throwing explosives, bricks, and glass bottles full of nails at police.

Antifa consists of people who largely believe in committing acts of violence against “Nazis.” This is something that most people would generally be willing to look the other way on, except their definition of “Nazi” or fascism is fairly loose.

Anybody who is simply perceived to be a supporter of President Donald Trump is labeled as a Nazi or fascist, and subject to being attacked unprovoked.

Antifa has been involved in rioting in multiple cities across America during the past few months. During these riots, they have beaten people simply perceived to be Trump supporters, along with throwing rocks, bricks, glass bottles, and explosives at them.

Despite the constant violence from the group, the media and politicians largely ignore the group.
