I'm predicting that when caught, the supporters are going to say how fucked up it is that the criminal faces the death penalty. I hope the fuckers are thrown in front of a train as punishment.
I am watching this carefully. This was the first passenger voyage so Amtrack would have tested the rails leading up and this area is ground zero for these shitbags.
The article also talks about how they contacted railway management to tell them about the concrete so that there would be no derailments, despite what the title here suggests.
Can someone explain what Antifa's idea of anti-fascism is? I know what it means but I clearly don't know what they think it means because I don't think it means what THEY think it means.
"Marxist–Leninist" devotees. IMHO I gather it's not so much anti-fascism as it is just desire for at least a full on initial state of anarchy in their hopes that it gains them opportunity to experiment with a different societal foundation so to speak. Side goal is maybe conversion from capitalism to socialism, but that's probably just a bonus for them not so much as a final goal. IMHO it's more just destruction of whatever current state and culture they live in just to experiment if they might thrive in an entirely different state. All other members of their society and communities and the world as a whole be damned.
in response to the "final goal" part of your comment. I doubt they have put even that much thought into it. I've not seen any political propaganda for their desired state, but I'm also not following them

Thought it was an Amtrak train that got derailed.

Amtrak derail was today, this article has the date right there at the beginning of the title

Still domestic terrorism.

Not saying it's not, just saying that this title is misleading as to what actually happened.

Anything that's not socialism is what I've gathered.
