Watch: Antifa Just Learned The Hard Way Don’t Mess With Texas
Meet Candice Bernd, a social just warrior, who claims to be a journalist and writes for Truth Out. According to their bio, Truth-Out is “a nonprofit news organization dedicated to providing independent reporting and commentary on a diverse range of social justice issues.”
Bernd was on the ground in Austin, Texas – she is sympathetic to the violent mobs – and before the “peaceful protestors” could even get started Austin and state police working together kept them on the move all night long. The city refused to tolerate any nonsense from the mob.
As Bernd takes us through the events notice how this “journalist” uses terms like “we” as if she is taking part.
Before it even got dark Austin Police began to break up the crowds…
At the antifa gathering in Austin, Texas, militants refuse to disperse occupied streets. Officers move in on horses and forcibly move the people out of the road. They scream and shout in anger. #AustinRiots #antifa pic.twitter.com/BJxJwIflZz

Notice she says “we” are holding space not “protestors are holding space.” This is an example of what was seen in Portland, many of the “journalists” present aren’t really members of the press. They are extremists hiding behind the protections given to the media.

The mob then began to block the street and that’s when the Austin Police department moved in with the horses.

Protestors tried to retake the street but it didn’t go very well for them the police pushed them off the street and back onto the sidewalk.

Bernd did report a clash broke out and the protestors were split up by police.

For the rest of the night, the protestors continued to move around because every time they were stopped police would break them up.

The mob did show up at Austin Police Department Headquarters but were quickly moved out of the area.
That is how you deal with these mobs if they are going to block the street and cause chaos, move in and break them up.
