You fucking idiots, /pol/.
Read what ADL actually wrote. Stop being so fucking lazy.
> [The police's] task, to secure both safety and First Amendment rights, has been made more difficult not only by the white supremacists and other bigots who have shown up in Charlottesville, Berkeley and Boston, but also by a relatively small number of counter-protesters who engage in confrontational tactics, including violence, in their opposition to the right-wing extremists

> Additionally, violence plays into the “victimhood” narrative of white supremacists and other right-wing extremists and can even be used for recruiting purposes. Images of these “free speech” protesters being beaten by black-clad and bandana-masked antifa provide right wing extremists with a powerful propaganda tool.
They are fucking TERRIFIED of white activists gaining ranks. That's it.

I assumed that the ADL was working with the antifaggots directly tbqh.

We know the ADL doesn't *really* oppose Antifa. The interesting thing was that they criticized them at all. In a matter of a week, the narrative has gone from "Antifa who?" to "How dare you say anyone else could be as bad as Nazis" to "Antifa's gotta cool it before they spoil it for all of us."
Wanna bet ADL names are all over that Antifa server the DoJ will have soon?

> That said, it is important to reject attempts to claim equivalence between the antifa and the white supremacist groups they oppose. The antifa reject racism but use unacceptable tactics.
