After the tragedy in Charlottesville that the groups commonly referred to as Antifa and their Black Bloc comrades enjoyed a brief period of respect. That respect is clearly quickly evaporating as the result of the brutal attacks in Berkeley this past weekend and closer scrutiny into Antifa/Black Block's history of violence and sneering contempt for free speech.

The anti-fascist movement often deploys violence in its protests — and that could seriously backfire.
The weekend saw numerous attacks on photographers who were taking pictures of the violence by the Black Block.
That being said, they do have their champions on the left, despite their violent tactics, with the Mayor of Berkeley California ironically wanting U of C to cancel their free speech week: Report: Berkeley mayor wants Cal to cancel right-wing Free Speech Week because of threatened Antifa/Black Block violence.
