According to the Antifa protestors at the Mohawk College free speech event, if the event had been canceled, the elderly woman with the walker wouldn’t have been bullied and called a Nazi. Yes, that’s their sorry excuse for their abominable behavior.

“Kojo Damptey, program manager at the Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion (HCCI), was also at the college for the start of the protest. He stressed that the moment with the elderly couple was a “distraction” from the protest. “I don’t think that harassing … old folks and people that have disabilities is a good thing,” he said. “[But] to talk about that one incident is a distraction from why we were even there.” “If they (PPC) weren’t allowed to speak at Mohawk, that wouldn’t have happened,” he said. “I think people should be focused on the reason why residents need to come out.”” [Emphasis Added]

When I first read that yesterday, my jaw dropped in sheer amazement. It was one of those rare times where I just couldn’t believe what I just read. Let’s go to the video shall we?

That Antifa …so peaceful and calm aren’t they? Antifa claims they are all about free speech. Yet they wanted a round table discussion about free speech shut down. Why? Because Maxime Bernier of the People’s Party of Canada doesn’t want open borders, has dared speak critically about the climate change hysteria and Greta Thunberg, and has been labeled as Far Right by Canada’s political left.

Antifa hides behind masks while screeching about Free Speech. Antifa hides behind masks and physically attacks people while labeling all those they disagree with as white supremacists. Antifa hides behind masks while verbally accosting an elderly woman and her companion and labeling her a NAZI for having the audacity to attend an event discussing …free speech.

Antifa refuses to listen to any speech they’ve deemed problematic How very…fascist of them.

To quote the comrade: This is the state of Hamilton. The Fascists get to go wherever they want, and those who protest are arrested. This has to change. Mohawk College in particular should be ashamed in having a hand in this. — Fightback (@CanadaMarxists) September 30, 2019

How many times do I need to point out that Antifa wanted free speech SHUT DOWN?

Also worth noting that the side wings of the protest were the routes most event attendees took into Mohawk because they could be protected by proud boys and cops. But this woman chose to wade through the centre of the protest. — Fred Eisenberger is a Mealey Mouthed Coward (@FilthySJW) September 30, 2019

In other words, FilthySJW is pointing the finger of blame at an old lady because she was trying to take the shortest route into the building. According to FilthySJW, if she hadn’t done so, no one would’ve screamed at her!

This is where we are folks. Antifa thugs threatening people because of speech they don’t like.

I’ve never heard of Daisy Cousins before, but she is spot on. Antifa has ZERO moral high ground. I have one quibble. It isn’t that Antifa wants to shut down dissent. No, they want to shut down everything and everyone that they deem ‘disagreeable.’

Toni just wrote an excellent post about the Hong Kong protests. The protestors there are doing everything they can to keep ALL their freedoms that were agreed upon by the British and Chinese governments. The Chinese government is working hard to take ALL their freedom away.

Does Antifa realize that they themselves are acting like unhinged dictators? If they do realize this, it’s evident that they don’t give a damn. It’s obvious that Antifa doesn’t want freedom, and they don’t want Free Speech.

Antifa is claiming that the threat was an elderly lady with a walker. NO, HELL NO and HORSE SHIT. It was Antifa’s choice to put on masks, surround and bully an elderly woman, and scream that she is a Nazi. It was THEIR choice to act like thugs. No one else.

Update: Her response is brilliant!!
