Antifa is shorthand for “anti-fascist.” There doesn’t appear to be one official group of them. In general, they are on the left side of the political spectrum. They have been violent in some parts of the country. It’s tough to nail down exactly what they are, but now we know that a KELOLAND man associates with them.

At Wednesday morning’s police briefing in Sioux Falls, Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Captain Jason Gearman talked about Einerwold’s views toward law enforcement.

“There’s a history but it’s not indicative of this type of extreme activity with his total disdain and hatred towards government and law enforcement and fire,” Gearman said.

Gearman didn’t go into specifics, but did talk about Antifa.

“The association with Antifa really concerns us,” Gearman said. “They don’t have a list of people on their website, obviously, but his, we did find evidence that he associated himself with that.”

Antifa protesters were in Portland, Oregon two and a half weeks ago, where they clashed with right-wing activists called Patriot Prayer. They were also at the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.
