This is a face (not necessarily the face of the Antifas): BAMN By Any Means Necessary.

I do believe they are setting themselves for a major disappointment and possible deaths with criminal charges, maybe even a RICO beef or Terrorism.

If there is something we have learned the hard way in the Gun Culture is that both actions and words will come back to haunt us during a criminal investigation and judicial procedures. Prosecutors (and the Media) will scour your life in search for words that might be construed (or twisted) as you having a mean and violent streak. Notes from a gun class you might have taken and a stand-alone notation that says “Kill Them All, Let God Sort Them Out” which was intended as a joke will now be used to demonstrate you are nothing but a blood-thirsty hatemonger who always wanted to massacre people.

By Any Means Necessary are fighting words on themselves. Accompanied by violent actions are just nails in their legal coffin but they are not even registering that in their radar. They are young, invincible, bulletproof and above the law…in their minds which is a feeble pedestal that will be knocked down with a slight application of harsh reality.

It is going to happen that one of these idiotic BAMN/Antifas are going to use some implement that will be considered a deadly weapon against a person they don’t like and this person will happen to be armed and defend him/herself. And eve though the heads of the organizations were praying for a martyr for fundraising and advertising purpose, they will be utterly shocked when the shooter is sent home after the event is classified as legitimate self-defense.

And if the State’s District attorney has any lead in his or her pencil, a charge of first degree  murder may be brought to the organizers of that particular Antifa event since their actions contributed directly with the death of their buddy. At least that is what I think but IANAL.

Them Smart People are predicting more violent confrontations so be ready and act like the Good Guy & Gal that you are. I do hope you never get in trouble, but that does not mean you are supposed to get a crowbar across your head.

And the repetitive reminder to check your state laws regarding self-defense and to check with people who really know about it, not some guy in an internet forum.
