Antifa thugs are easy to spot. Dressed in black, wearing face masks, often carrying umbrellas, difficult to tell which of the two sexes they are, bright non natural colored hair and a propensity for violence.

This should really help the tourist industry! Great place to bring the kids to see Mickey and the macho guys with guns on their hips.

We seem to have no problem getting people to come to Florida from those (how to put this) gun safe states like NY, Mass, NJ, Cali etc..

What those gun safe states like NY accomplish, is assuring people like myself with money and an attorney can get a NYS and NYC carry, while many less fortunate citizens raising families in violent dangerous cities are unable to get one legally. Pretty sure MS13 and the Latin Kings don't go the legal route.

Prove me wrong.

Makes me wonder if diversity really is a strength?
We use to come from diverse backgrounds and become one people, Americans.

The poster saying the majority of mass shooting are done by white males is incorrect. The post was fact checked by independent fact checkers and rated three pinnochios.

What's your source? I do watch the news and most active shooters in schools, parades, concerts, movie theaters, and work places are white males. US Mass public shootings since Columbine: victims per incident by race and ethnicity of the perpetrator - ScienceDirect

White shooters were overrepresented in mass public shootings with the most victims, typically involving legally owned assault rifles. To better understand the consequences when firearms are readily available, including assault rifles, we need a database of all US gun violence. Our assessment of total victims beyond fatalities emphasizes the large number of US gun violence survivors and the need to understand their experiences to capture the full impact of gun violence.

BS alert. Facts-- Who Are Antifa, and Are They a Threat?

Below are figures taken by FBI Crime stats. They do these monthly, quarterly and annual. I believe one issue that could lead to differing figures would be defining a mass shooting. If it is two or more people shot the result would differ from let's say five or more. Whatever the results, I would ask what is the purpose of looking at this number? Is it to say race x is more prone to violence than race Y, leading to a genetic propensity for violence? Is it due to cultural differences? Perhaps economic issues? Let's say that we find out that male poc commit statistically significantly more mass shootings than their four percent population. What then? The figures below represent a month. It gets confusing when you look at. The numbers used mostly by those trying to say white males are disproportionately more likely to commit mass shootings are those from Statista. Statista uses figures from 1982 thru 2023, and of the 140 mass shootings, ??? 140? In 41 years? Others show 40+ monthly. I guess the takeaway here, including the numbers used below, would be that you can use statistics to prove your point, instead of using stats to develop your view. One chart I found to be more honest, maybe, is the DOJ, FBI stats Table 43A by Race and Ethnicity, 2019

[10,831 agencies; 2019 estimated population 229,735,355]


Of the 46 mass shooters in the Gun Violence Archive database for March 2021, 2% (1) was committed by a White male; 8% (4) were committed by Hispanics; 45% (21) were committed by African Americans; and in 43%, or 20 cases, the attacker’s race is unknown (for example because they were never caught or the police description of the shooter is ambiguous).
In January 2019 I conducted an identical analysis, finding total of 27 American mass shootings. Of those two were home invasion shootings in Houston, Texas; one in which several would-be robbers breaking into a home were shot by the homeowner, and the second when police raided the wrong house and came under fire from the (innocent) occupants within. Neither of these fit the typical image of a “mass shooter” threat or situation so both were omitted from the dataset, bringing the total to 25. Of the 25 mass shootings in the Gun Violence Archive database for January 2019, 16% (4) of them were committed by white males; 4% (1) was committed by a Hispanic man; 64% (16) were committed by African-Americans; and in 16%, or 4 cases, the attacker’s race is unknown.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has formally classified the activities of anti-fascist groups (antifa) as "domestic terrorist violence" since early 2016, according to confidential law enforcement documents obtained by Politico and interviews.

Federal authorities have reportedly warned state and local officials the antifa has become "increasingly confrontational" in efforts to thwart white supremacist groups.

Newly disclosed documents show authorities believed "anarchist extremists" were the main cause of violence at a number of public rallies. A confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI blamed the antifa for attacks on a range of targets, including police, government institutions and symbols of "the capitalist system."

Believe your eyes!

If someone puts you on "ignore", can you still see their posts?

I'll have to have another look at those videos and watch more closely for the black-dressed, face-mask-wearing, umbrella-carrying individuals with non-natural hair color. Somehow I missed them the first time around.

Only if you look at them. They are removed but you can push a button to see that post unblocked.

I have a lot of posters on my Ignore List.

For the person on the Ignore List he/she can see anything posted by the person who placed the poster on there.
