It still wouldn't have stopped the rank and file from attending. What the failure yesterday shows is key though. It revealed Antifa's real numbers. They are fine when they can mobilize to a single event, they can get enough people there to have a real impact, (ie: Berkeley). But when spread thin, they don't have enough core members to even have the balls to step out of line. This was noted on GLP during the presidential campaign when Trump started flying across country between campaign stops instead of staying in one area. The farther and quicker he traveled, the weaker the protests. The great ANTIFA movement is no more than a rent-a-mob of few hundred people who travel around the country like a circus act.
