I don't condone violence on any side under most circumstances, violent protesters should be prosecuted.

Antifa = DoGooders? Am I getting this right?
I think they believe they are.

Countering right-wing extremism is a good thing within reasonable boundaries.

Antifa = Terrorist Group
Neo Nazis = Terrorist Group
White Supremacists = Terrorist Group

Once they get violent and exceed any Constitutionally granted protection, they should go to jail. You'd probably let them out, and at least vote while in the klink.
Seems like Antifa is targeting groups or people pushing radical right-wing ideas, they're not trying to scare me into not supporting those ideas. Right-wing extremists on the other hand have been the biggest source of domestic terrorism. There is a difference.

And when someone goes violent they should be prosecuted.

The Neo Nazis think they are right too. Unacceptable regardless of hard left or hard right. You are beginning to concern me.

Countering all extremism, by legal authority, is a good thing within reasonable boundaries.

I cannot believe you are unable to see the difference, I am concerned that you are willing to allow for the difference.

The bad and horrible ideas by NeoNazis, White Supremacists, and Antifa should be countered - by the people of this country - with better ideas, ideals, and debate. Anything beyond that should be by competent legal authority.
