A French lawmaker who is a far-left extremist Antifa associate listed on the French S-File terrorist watchlist is calling for an Antifa response to riots in the United Kingdom. The riots broke out in response to the fatal stabbing of multiple young girls by a migration-background suspect, leaving three dead. National Assembly member Raphaël Arnault, of the far-left France Unbowed party (LFI), is calling for an “antifascist response” to riots in Southport, England, which saw over 50 police officers injured in the aftermath of the mass stabbing by a 17-year-old...

Lafayette officials are no longer pursuing a lawsuit against a comedian whose online posts about fake antifa rallies in 2020 cost the city thousands. City-Parish Attorney Pat Ottinger, hired by Mayor-President Monique Boulet who took office in January, has been reviewing hundreds of pending lawsuits, many left over from the prior administration of former Mayor-President Josh Guillory. One of them is a September 2020 lawsuit against John Merrifield. Officials wanted Merrifield to pay for law enforcement's response to the fake rallies. "The suit was brought in response to actions of...

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The judge on Friday sentenced all 11 defendants for the 2021 Pacific Beach counter-protest that turned violent. The San Diego District Attorney is saying the case is now closed. A so-called Patriot March was taking place on Jan. 9, just days after the insurrection at the Capitol.

A San Diego judge sentenced eight defendants to prison and jail terms Friday for their roles in a series of politically motivated attacks during a January 2021 rally in Pacific Beach, calling the defendants “hypocritical” for professing to be anti-fascist while violently assaulting political opponents practicing free speech. San Diego Superior Court Judge Daniel Goldstein said that after presiding for years over the first-of-its-kind case alleging an antifa conspiracy, he was left with no doubt as to the existence of antifa as an organization. “I don’t believe it’s as structured...

A radical Italian Antifa activist accused of attacking people with a hammer in Budapest has been elected to the European Parliament, potentially paving the way for her to be freed from custody in Hungary.

SEATTLE, Wash. — In a case of not-so-friendly fire, some members of the radical far-left group Antifa started to beat up and harass a fellow campus occupier at the University of Washington during the pro-Israel march that took place on Sunday. It started when one of the Antifa hooligans stole an American flag from Ari Hoffman, an outspoken Jewish conservative who is a Seattle radio host and who spoke at the pro-Israel rally moments before. Hoffman and few other Jewish protesters were walking by one of the entrances to the...

Choe and “his security were attacked by members...

I like a good disaster movie. A lot of the science fiction movies I loved as a kid (and still do) were really just disaster movies with aliens in them. Earth vs. the Flying Saucers has some fantastic scenes of Washington, DC being destroyed by the titular flying saucers. This was essentially remade in the 90s as Independence Day which features a fantastic shot of a saucer blowing up the White House. So I really don't mind seeing national monuments blown up in the service of a good story. This...

An Alabama man with suspected Antifa sympathies was indicted for terrorism for his alleged role in detonating an explosive device filled with nails to maximize its destructive capability, according to the Department of Justice.
