This is the first time the Antifa targeting tactic has been fully captured on film.

@realDonaldTrump is right to say these people are terrorists.

BUT.

All is not as it seems.

First, the video.
Keep in mind that I'm NOT revealing everything this video shows.

Only the Antifa tactic.

Antifa and BLM have merged, so I'll use the term "Antifa."
The first member of the hit squad.

She's wearing a fake cast on her right hand.

It's actually a weapon. Weighted with lead so that she can punch. A blackjack.

Look up casts. They NEVER look like that. She's choosing a target.
The target enters the screen from the left.

The second member of the hit squad eyes him intently.

Cast Lady identified him by texting and a photo.

This is why Antifa takes your picture.
Helmet lady speaks with Target to establish to others that this is the guy.

Another member of the hit squad involuntarily clenches his fists, preparing for battle.

Note HIS intent stare.
Now, Target is actually pointing PAST Helmet Lady at something else. We don't know what, and it doesn't matter.

See how calm and still Helmet Lady is?

She's done this MANY times before.
Backup arrives.

He looks at Target.

But Target has EXCEPTIONAL situational awareness. He picks up on Backup right away.
We fast forward.

By the time the camera pulls out, Cast Lady (left) has already initiated a confrontation with Target.

Backup tried to take her out of the situation.

Target doesn't fall into the trap.

Helmet Lady is calmly texting to the others.
Backup (left) was only PRETENDING to deescalate.

Cast Lady goes back on the attack.

Target had his back to her, his hands raised in the heavy metal hand sign.
Cast Lady sucker punches Target with her blackjack cast as Helmet Lady watches and waits.

Then Helmet Lady strides forward to instigate MORE violence.
ANOTHER guy with exceptional situational awareness sees her and knows exactly what she's up to.

He steps in front of her to prevent her from escalating further.

As she tries to go around her, he tells her to back off.
Since she can't get to Cast Lady, she pepper sprays Blocker.

On the left, Cast Lady is being physically restrained, while Target keeps out of it.
Helmet Lady tried to calmly walk away, but Blocker is FAR more physically fit that he appears.

He's actually all muscle; look at his forearms. He knows she must pay a price for trying to escalate.

On the left, NOBODY is escalating. VERY disciplined people.
Blocker does the VERY smart thing and disappears into the crowd, since he has pepper spray on his face.

On the left, Cast Lady is being given the bum's rush.
Interestingly, several BLM members intervene to ACTUALLY deescalate.

Target follows Cast Lady's removal but doesn't make things worse.
And that's the end of my play by play.

A lot of other stuff happened, but I can't go into it.

Your takeaways?

ALWAYS REMAIN THE THE CROWD.

TAKE NOTICE OF ANTIFA STUDYING YOU.

DO NOT ENGAGE THEM.

Did you see how smoothly these bastards did this?
Target could've ended up in the hospital.

That blackjack cast was made in order to break bones and knock out teeth.

Cast Lady was VERY strong and fit.

There were other members of the hit squad ready to go, but this whole thing was foiled.
See how they CHOSE Target and attacked him for no reason at all?

YOU'RE NOT DEALING WITH PEOPLE ACTING IN GOOD FAITH.

That's why you never try to score debate points with them.

THEY'RE THEIR TO KNOCK OUT YOUR TEETH.

Are you convinced now?
Watch for surveillance.

Always have situational awareness.

Keep your head on a swivel.

Take note of things like unnatural eye contact or purposeful striding.

In this situation, everybody did exactly the right thing.
Learn from this.
