The truth is both displayed how far both betray their own values. The antifa are barely distinguishable from those they claim to hate, and free speech advocates resort to the same pointless violence. At least in the first "battle" the free speech advocates on the right demonstrated what a bunch of thugs the antifa are.

Also loling at "free speech advocates" saying that people shouldn't be allowed to counter-protest against them.

You obviously missed the entire point of my argument. Being that, defense against leftist violence is a good thing. Not "violence against left people is good". I am a centrist myself and would not promote violence against anyone unless they were in self defense. Which, in this case, the conservatives were. As such, they were in the right.Also loling at "free speech advocates" saying that people shouldn't be allowed to counter-protest against them.
Again, look above, because that isn't what I am saying at all, and trying to twist my words into something you feel comfortable with mocking is not a good argument to make.

Let's hope that people continue to fight back against Antifa the next time they try to commit acts of terror.

Members of the left seem to be under the opinion that violence against the right, moderates, and just about anyone else that doesn't fit their world view or disagrees with them is good, at least.
But no violence against others who do not share your politics should never be encouraged. But if those that are attacked end up defending themselves, I say bravo, be they left, right, up, or down.

The Conservative side won because they were able to take the beating from the Antifa and disperse them, letting them continue their demonstration. Clear victory against the far left terrorist group.
The free speech advocates defended themselves by being pepper sprayed, pelted with bricks, rocks, bats, etc. while the police remained on stand by. That isn't betraying their values. That's standing up to thugs and practicing self defense.
