WTF is this?  Some 'Spanish Inquisition' Monty Python sketch where they poke the old lady with a soft pillow?

This shit looks fake as hell to me.  I say there is a very good chance that this whole 'antifa' thing is a stage show.  It is clear that 'they' _want_ to get a big hoo-ha going between different 'factions' for social engineering purposes (e.g., and excuse to further dis-arm 'citizens' and further arm the paramilitaries), and I suspect that all manners of subterfuge would be used to achieve these goals.  Every time I see one of these types of videos the whole ambiance screams 'fake' to me somehow.  Not to say that some of the meth-heads recruited for these things won't do violent things on occasion, but the whole thing seems staged and engineered.
