Looks like antifa is lucky that Sturgis has lots of LEO's that come for the event. Otherwise the may not have been so lucky. Strange though, thought antifa only went out out night.  |

We're talking about bikers, mostly older bikers. And Sturgis is a tradition. And its in S Dakota. Of course the bikers and police are going to be on the same side. What do these 'protesters' expect !

ANTIFA ? I thought antifa was an illegal,violent, anti fascist movement in response to the white Supremist movement ? It's hard to tell what's exactly going on in that video. But, it looked like a handful of locals who decided to go protest with signs in the middle of the street. I'd guess the big guy the cops took away wouldn't listen to what they told him to do. Then the cops escorted the other 4 or 5 down away from the bikers. Man, if these guys are Antifa, we got nothing to worry about !

A rainbow flag, a don't tread on me flag, a bed sheet with writing telling the governor to send the bikers home. I couldn't read the other signs. I don't think you guys got much to worry about.  |

Yup, nothing to worry about from Antifa/BLM/Democrat protesters. They're just peaceful folks who want a world of acceptance, peace and harmony..... https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-protest-turns-violent-brutal-assault-caught-on-video-report |

2 separate events  Right, but the instigators are cut from the same cloth. When the leftists have the upper hand, there is violence and destruction. When the right thinking folks have the upper hand, such as in Sturgis, there is peaceful demonstration..... |

It looked like a handful of libertarian, gay rights supporting, people standing in the middle of the street. Pretty threatening for sure ! yeah, nothing happened in Charlottesville either. |

It is my understanding that the large fella kicked a bike as it passed by and that is what got him an escort off main street....
As for the "protest"...I am sure they had camera's around to see who all kicked their ARSEs so they could have someone to sue...
On a side note and to make it Valk related, one of the videos I saw had a red and cream Valk tourer cruising by the protesters...Anyone here???

Actually I think the whole point is that the police are making a presence and willing to keep peace.
Which is unlike other certain cities/areas.

And you think they were just locals?  And to your point about Charlottesville, one of your left leaning representatives said some people did something on 9/11. |

That's pretty close to the story I read. Rams |
