I for one have seen ANTIFA in action, up close. Standing in line at the Albuquerque Convention Center on 24 May 2016 to see then candidate Trump speak. There were police barricades keeping the wilde-eyes screaming protesters from physically touching us, but it didn't stop the plastic bottles and fluids being tossed our direction. Two positions from me in the line was a 30 something Catholic Nun, wearing the clothing of her Order. She was hit in the left rear of her head with a broken piece of concrete. Knocked her to the ground and was bleeding. We carried her up towards the front of the line where a stationed Paramedic was and he called for assistance. She was taken away by ambulance and I don't know what ever became of her.
Trying to leave the Convention Center was even more chaotic, but made it out with only a partially drenched shirt from being hit by some kind of soft drink. The protesters carried ANTIFA flags and Mexican Flags, and others plus plenty of signs. The protest crowd was estimated to be around 600 people but I would have guessed more. Knowing a lot of Catholic Sisters in this State, it really made my blood boil to see that happen. If I was armed, I may have not been able to resist thinning out that herd. No secret Walter Mitty-esqe fantasies -just pure anger.
