Threats of violence aimed at protesters began to appear on social media and men wielding firearms intimidated a protest organized by high school students in Pagosa Springs.
Such misinformation and hysteria is irresponsible and dangerous. An interracial couple from Spokane who was on a camping trip in western Washington was barricaded in their campsite and threatened by armed rural residents who believed them to be part of the supposed antifa invasion.
It’s only a matter of time before these modern-day brown shirts kill someone. It is up to us, particularly white people of conscience, to put a stop to such behavior. Silence is violence.
