There is no right to burn down your neighborhood, but it’s always an option. Freedom means choice, and real freedom must include the choice of self-destruction — but not destroying someone else’s neighborhood. Especially not when the neighborhood is mostly black and poor. That is what the privileged whites of antifa are doing by instigating disorder and destruction in Minneapolis’s 3rd precinct and elsewhere. ‘Every single person we arrested last night, I’m told, was from out of state,’ says Melvin Carter, Mayor of St Paul. Cost-free kicks at black people’s expense: the height of white privilege.

"The murder of George Floyd and the fact that it took riots before his killer was charged"
This an absurd and provocative statement. This is not a slam dunk case. The autopsy report already brings into question the cause and effects of what happened. To be sure, I am NOT defending the police, just realizing that the riots did not cause the charge to be leveled, evidence did and the idea that the officer is a "killer" is yet to be determined. If there is initial blame, it is on the media for pouring gas onto the fire.
"They used to do it to preserve their racial privilege"
This is a weird view of Antifa riots. Antifa are anarchist thugs. To say that they are targeting Black communities to preserve their privilege is mind bending. The article presents Atifa as a representative of American white society as a whole, working to undermine Blacks. This is tormented thinking. I won't call it logic because there is none.
I don't know the exact makeup or purpose of Antifa but they seem to be a radical rent-a-mob. I can be sure they do NOT represent American white society or any type of presumed privilege. Besides, Black society does enormous damage to itself. Whites hardly need to get involved to preserve their "standing". Blacks refuse to do what is required to rise, follow rules that apply to anyone in any society. Instead they are encouraged to chew the old bones of policies that were violently ripped out, largely by whites, over 150 years ago with no living person suffering under them. It took us a while to straighten out our relationship but a lot of progress has been made.
What happened to Floyd is a tragedy. What actually happened is not clear. Shouldn't we find out before destroying whatever we can get our hands on?

BS. Lastest narrative, white supremicists are the rioters.

We need to shut universities down. Quit giving out loans to students, until there is change and the universities get rid of the marxists.

Are these out-of-state protesters violating the RICO laws?

Bottom line, Antifa is being paid to destroy America. The fact that they do it at black protests is just a cover - they’re taking advantage of the situation and it has nothing to do with Floyd.

My observation: Antifa is a leftwing terror organization who's stated goal is to stamp out fascism while employing fascist tactics and espousing its very own fascist idealology as mainstream. It's members are largely "woke" white morons who lack the critical thinking necessary to grasp their hypocrisy. They don't care what they do, or who they hurt.
On further thinking, I don't think that they have any real goals other than destruction. If they had real goals, they would be active 24/7/365. As far as I'm concerned, they are a leftwing, democrat supported domestic terrorist organization who only come out in advance of an election where a Republican might win.

Shouldn't they really be named, "Fa"? Especially because they always come after Soros's Do-Re-Mi?

Yes, the cops might have been heavy handed. But according to the autopsy, Floyd had some health issues that contributed to his demise. But of course that isn't good enough for the family, so they are getting another independent autopsy done. If the Officer did something wrong in the course of his duties, yes he needs to be punished. But to scapegoat the guy when there are other issues involved, that hangs some nasty labels on the black community that they are trying to avoid. Like railroaders of the innocent, lynch mob, and so on.
The bigger problem I see is that Marxists are using this outrage to achieve their own agenda. Way too much selectivity going on here for this to be truly protesting. And the media along with the Democrat Party is supporting and enabling it all.

There was a Northwestern professor on NPR this morning saying it was the Police who were doing the violence, and the 'protesters' were destroying property because it was the only way to make their point. Really.

It is way past time to arrest Gorge Soros and every politician, journalist or anyone else that promotes and pays for this inciting of riots. When are we going to see that, and if not, why?

Who is the leader behind Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and Occupy xxx???
The FBI could tell us all about "Russian (non)Interference" in the 2016 election, but has no clue who is FUNDING and running these punk white kids?
Fire every single FBI puke from the top down 4 layers, appoint someone from outside to run the place and ANYONE who acts snotty to the new guy is walked out the door with no pension.

Bravo Sierra. Mayor Carter had to walk back his allegation that the violent rioters arrested were from elsewhere. The local TV station actually sent a reporter to eyeball the police blotter and lo and behold- 85% of the perps were from right there in MSP. They toss this meme around everywhere to dodge responsibility that many of the Protestors are the same as Rioters. And what kind of Saint is George Floyd? he committed his last felony- of many, many-just minutes before his unfortunate death. Did five years time in TX pen for home invasion. Some bloody saint.
