Chadwick
Moore at the Washington Times offers a piece on how to combat the continuing threat of the violent protest group Antifa.
On a
Saturday morning last month, two dozen masked, black-clad individuals gathered
outside the entrance to Boeing’s Museum of Flight in Seattle. Their target
was a 28-year-old mechanic at Boeing’s
Auburn plant named Nicholas Boling. The communist agitators unfurled a
12-foot banner with Mr. Boling’s name and picture accompanied by the
words, “A VIOLENT MISOGYNIST WORKS AT BOEING.”
In the weeks leading up, Antifa
groups operating in the Pacific Northwest flooded Boeing’s
human resources department with scripted phone calls claiming Mr. Boling was a member of a “hate group” and had
assaulted a bartender (Mr. Boling denies both of these accusations). Threatening
text messages from anonymous numbers inundated his phone. Parts of Seattle
became papered in flyers with his photo, claiming he was a “Nazi.” Then there
was the murder attempt, when someone poked holes in the brake lines of his
truck and it nearly crashed.
Local law enforcement was no
help. “It’s undeniable this is all because of my role as a conservative
activist,” Mr. Boling says. “I go to a lot of events, I helped
organized a May Day counter-protest and was involved with the Patriot Prayer.”
Days after the demonstration outside Boeing,
he was fired.
Last week, after an Antifa mob
attempted to break into the home of Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host called
the actions a concerted effort to silence dissenting opinions. “They weren’t
protesting anything […] they weren’t trying to change my mind or advocate a
position, they were threatening my family to get me to stop talking,” Mr.
Carlson said on Fox News. “This has a chilling effect on people’s ability to
speak and think freely. That’s the point. It’s totalitarian in its intent.”
