Louisville Antifa: Inside Two Of The City’s Most Militant Activist Groups

The post on Facebook said that the Honorable Sacred Knights of the Ku Klux Klan would be meeting at Jaycee Park in Madison, Indiana on Aug. 31 for a “kookout” from 1 to 3 p.m., the group’s second gathering along the small town’s riverfront in two years. “Come support,” read the announcement, which included a phone number and email address, inviting the public to contact the HSK to become a member.

 

Sure enough, on the day of the event, about 18 people milled about in the wooden shelter house on the slice of city-owned green space, most wearing dark colors, a few with bandannas obscuring their faces.

 

A local counter-protester walked up to them, holding a “Racism is Ignorant” sign and jeering. But, the 18 people were not with the KKK. They belonged to the antifa movement, antifa being short for anti-fascism.

 

Once the counterprotester realized her mistake, she tentatively joined the anti-fascists, sitting down with her sign in her lap, waiting with them to see if the KKK would show up.

 

Holly Zoller, a member of Louisville Anti-Racist Action, or Louisville ARA, stood next to one of the shelter’s posts, scanning the roadway.

 

Louisville ARA was one of three anti-fascist groups that gathered at the shelter. One of them, March 4th Alliance from Louisville, hung a banner saying “Pinko Commie Birthday Party” and decorated the wooden picnic tables with handmade placards fashioned from pilfered “We Buy Houses”signs.

 

“We got here early and took the pavilion, which is the goal,” Zoller said. Thirty minutes after the KKK had planned to arrive, the stunt seemed to have worked.

 

But then, at 1:39 p.m., a small parade of cars and trucks drove slowly past the shelter house, one with a distinctive KKK flag hanging from its window. They drove out of sight before looping back around, heading for another shelter house next to where antifa had set up.

 

That’s when antifa switched to another one of its common tactics and ran toward the second shelter.

 

A confrontation was about to begin.

 

Antifa: Decentralized, Controversial

The number of anti-fascists in Louisville is unclear, but they can be seen acting as individuals and in groups to confront far-right and hate groups directly, in person and online.

 

In April 2017, Louisville’s anti-fascists drove several alleged neo-Nazis from The Irish Rover restaurant in Louisville who had gathered there to celebrate Hitler’s birthday.

 

In August of the same year, Louisville anti-fascists traveled to Charlottesville to counter far-right protesters who planned to rally around a Confederate statue that the city said it would remove.

 

In 2018, Louisville antifa members doxxed (publicly revealed the personal information of) people in far-right groups who pepper sprayed Democratic Socialists of America members as they dined at The Silver Dollar restaurant on Frankfort Avenue.

 

LEO spoke to three Louisville anti-fascists who belong to two of the city’s anti-fascist groups: Louisville ARA and March 4th Alliance.

 

“We don’t believe in letting Nazis have the streets or letting fascism openly organize or recruit,” said Sean Liter, a member of ARA. “Because the more people they recruit, obviously, the bigger they get and the more dangerous they get.”

 

Louisville anti-fascists’ tactics and beliefs mirror those of antifa groups across the country and the world.

Found real sauce.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CBS12) — Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has opened an investigation into Michael Bloomberg's pledge to spend $16 million to pay fines and help felons vote in Florida.

 

This comes shortly after Rep. Matt Gaetz called for the investigation while speaking on Fox News.

 

In a letter sent to CBS12 News, Moody writes Gov. Ron DeSantis asked her office to review the "recent allegations" found in the Washington Post article published on Tuesday. The letter said that Moody's office had reviewed Bloomberg's pledge and referred the matter to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI for a criminal investigation.

 

Moody's letter references Florida's statute against paying for votes, referencing a Florida Department of State finding that said "even an otherwise innocuous offering of an incentive simply to vote can run afoul" of state election law.

 

By offering to help pay felons' fines to regain their right to vote, Moody claims Bloomberg could be guilty of violating a Florida Statute, which makes it illegal to "directly or indirectly give or promise anything of value to another in casting his or her vote."

 

Ian Goldstein, a defense attorney in West Palm Beach, told CBS12 News that it would be hard to prove that Bloomberg's actions violated election law. Under Goldstein's interpretation of the law that governs "buying votes," he says prosecutors would have to prove that Bloomberg coordinated with each individual felon and paid for their fines in exchanges for votes for Democratic candidates.

 

Bloomberg and his team raised over $16 million to pay the court fines and fees of nearly 32,000 Black and Hispanic voters in Florida with felony convictions as part of an effort aimed at boosting turnout for current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
