Excellent comment, agree 100%. I had the same question about Antifa. Cooper is typically so scrupulous about defining and explaining all sides of a controversy, but I felt he threw in Antifa without explaining how he knows this to be true. I’m not saying it’s not true-I’m simply saying he did not provide evidence. If he has it, I want to see it. I would love for him to dedicate an entire podcast to Antifa.

I also felt he gave a pass to KR for obtaining a gun illegally and underage. If what he hoped to achieve demanded carrying a weapon, then he should’ve stuck to helping in a capacity that didn’t require a gun, or just sat out altogether.

HE DID NOT OBTAIN THE GUN ILLEGALLY. Stop the BS.

I mean giving someone the money to purchase you a weapon that you aren’t legally allowed to purchase doesn’t exactly scream legal. But I guess it really just depends if you are a letter of the law or spirit of the law person

While evidence would be cool, stuff like that seems challenging for current events. Let’s say 80 of 100 arrested people have records like he described:

Does that mean a big fraction of the antifa types are like that or only of the ones who got arrested?

If you say riot violence was instigated by police agent provocateurs, I bet there were examples of that in 2020.

When he says Antifa leaders hand out cash to start shit, I bet he’s right.

I doubt any of that becomes public record for a while and we may never know what the balance of shit starting was in that crazy summer. If he has a real source of information, he probably can’t reveal it yet.

Frankly, if you’re unable to cite sources for claim, even vaguely, you probably shouldn’t make the claim.

You've obviously never been to an antifa event.

What Darryl Cooper said is no secret.

There were provocateurs in both side's riots.
