That Antifa guy the facial recognition supposedly caught false-flagging the Capitol yesterday turns out to be a well known QAnon douche from AZ.

Longtime Arizona QAnon supporter in horned helmet joins storming of U.S. Capitol

Among the supporters of President Donald Trump who mobbed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, one – unmistakable in his fur, horned hat and painted face – was Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year.

Angeli was seen in photographs from Washington, D.C., amid protesters who turned violent and stormed the building, causing both chambers to suspend their intended action of the day: certifying the results of the presidential election for former vice president Joe Biden.

This dopey photo is making the rounds as if it offers some kind of proof.

The three people in that photo:
    - Jake Angeli, the QAnon douche from AZ
    - Jason Tankersley, founder of the Maryland Skinheads
    - Matthew Heimbach, National Socialist Movement

    I don't think your claim is true. In various photos, you will find a lot of BLM mixed in with Antifa. The membership doesn't seem to be exclusive - a person can be both. While it is true that MOST Antifa seem to be privileged white kids, not all are.

    I don't believe very many black people are members of Antifa, but it does seem that some are. It's much more likely that black people are members of BLM.

    Sorry, no, there is no database that I know of. I'm just going by photographs, video, and comments I've seen over the past year or two.

      "a lot of BLM mixed in with Antifa"

      What are you saying here Runaway? Sounds like you are calling black people BLM and white people Antifa. Since Antifa is just a concept like Anonymous you can't tell who would be a "member" from a picture.

      I think we're seeing peak boomer here.

        Sounds like you are calling black people BLM and white people Antifa.

        That is the general rule. Not a law, just a rule. If you see a crowd of 300 black people, they are probably BLM. When you see a crowd of 500 white people with a couple "token" blacks mixed in, they are Antifa.

          And if you see a crowd of white people breaking the windows out of the Capitol Building, wearing red caps and yellow toques, carrying Trump flags, and Confederate battle flags, then they are probably Antifa, right? Or maybe Fascists, Neo-confederate racists, and Prouf Boys.

    No, you have not seen any white antifas, since antifas do not exist. What you saw were your neighbors, fellow citizens! And, yes, they are all anti-fascist, like their grandparents in the last great war! So, punch a Nazi in the face, like Buggs Bunny, or Captain America would do! Drop huge bombs on the houses of the people who vote for fascists! And, take over their countries and teach them how to democracy. It is what America was meant to do. Do your part! Donate your nylons!
