Matt Scott, a self-described “progressive Democrat,” said he was not a part of the group (indivisible) but that he agreed “generally” with what the organization says.

The civil war among America’s left has begun. This isn’t a split based on ideology, but tactics.

For a half-century, Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” has been the manual for left-wing activism. As a community organizer, Barack Obama implemented Alinsky’s call for purposeful agitation with perfection. Hillary Clinton, who Media Matters’ David Brock dubbed “Alinsky’s daughter,” wrote her thesis on his legacy. And to the militant left, her defeat signaled the need for a new set of tactics.

“The rule book has been thrown out,” one “antifa” terrorist engaged in violence at the University of California, Berkeley told the Guardian.

Antifa (short for anti-fascism), the broad term for the new militant left, includes socialists, anarchists and anti-capitalists united by their street-fighting tactics and zeal for violence. BBC News compares them to white nationalists, but says antifa’s “tactics are arguably more extreme.” On online community Reddit, a headline on the Antifa section reads, “Every dead Republican is a step toward progress.”

One common antifa tactic, black bloc, involves launching mob violence against people and property while dressed in black hoodies and ski masks. Their all-black uniforms serve a dual purpose: to intimidate their victims and hide their identities. The battle plan was executed flawlessly at the recent riots at UC Berkeley.
“This was a group of agitators who were masked up, throwing rocks, commercial grade fireworks and Molotov cocktails at officers,” UC Berkeley Police Sgt. Sabrina Reich said.

The physical violence may have been directed at police officers, but the mob of antifa terrorists that violently attacked the UC Berkeley Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union earlier this year were as much declaring war on the ideology of the man for whom the building is named and its citizens. America’s left was sending a message: Violence is the answer.

“Our side is growing and also prepared to be more politically militant and support more militant struggle,” Yvette Felarca, a leader of the antifa terrorist organization, By Any Means Necessary, told Al Jazeera. “If the movement continues building as large and as powerfully in this direction, we can defeat Trump, his entire racist agenda, and get him out without waiting for the next election.”

By any means necessary most often means violence against anyone who isn’t radical enough. How extreme is antifa? Even members of the International Socialist Organization condemn their violence.

“They purposefully sideline the majority of the protesters and foreground their actions, giving everyone from the university administration to the corporate media to the right-wingers themselves an excuse to ignore the issues raised by the wider crowd, and shift their attention to the ‘violence,’ ” Mukund Rathi, a contributor to Socialist Worker, wrote in a criticism of ‘antifa’s tactics.

Yet, antifa is becoming mainstream — normalized by college professors that incite imminent lawlessness and spread fighting words on campus. Last fall, a community college professor ordered all Donald Trump supporters to stand and be publicly identified for possible physical retaliation. An African-American member of the Sacramento State College Republicans was recently assaulted by a left-wing militant. At Cal State Fullerton, an anthropology professor is under investigation for assaulting a peaceful group of College Republicans. Left-wing protesters from Democrat-linked Indivisible recently stormed the offices of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, knocking out a 71-year-old member of his staff.

“I can say, based on personal experience, that the attitude at demonstrations has changed,” writes Malcolm Harris, an antifa sympathizer and editor for The New Inquiry. “Where masked and black-clad antifa used to get wary glares, now it’s thumbs-up and ‘right on!’ from kid-toting parents.”

Local law enforcement agencies lack the resources, capabilities or will to investigate this national network of militants. Following a half-million dollars in damage at UC Berkeley, just a single arrest was made, and not a single arrest on the night of the riot.

“How is it that after more than 100 thugs organized, well in advance, to invade the campus, and police were alerted to the risk of violence, again well in advance, no arrests were made the night of the attack?” asks University of Utah law professor Paul Cassett.

It’s not enough for the FBI to provide assistance with the investigation into the UC Berkeley attacks. The U.S. Department of Justice should launch an investigation into this national network of violent militants. Such widespread and growing violence requires a well-financed support system. Many antifa websites solicit funds and organize black bloc attacks.

Until the Department of Justice takes down this organized criminal organization, it is incumbent upon all who believe in nonviolent political expression to stand up to these thugs. On campus, students must record and document these attacks. Civic leaders and elected officials must pressure local law enforcement officials to swiftly investigate and prosecute antifa. members.

Rather than constructive dialog, the town liberals are following their national leaders by continuing to insult and call names to people who have different views. It must feel real good to anonymously call a neighbor a racist or troll.

I was not the poster, but this is a troll.
- Cranbury has no influence over the $15 minimum wage
- he stated he is opposed to Cranbury being a sanctuary city

So yes, but making blatant comments like the above the poster is doing nothing except being a troll. Racist, no, but troll yes.

Matt Scott supports Phil Murphy for Governor. Phil Murphy wants New Jersey to be a sanctuary state which would make cranbury a sanctuary city. Does Matt Scott support New Jersey as a sanctuary state?

I support Trump, but oppose his tax plan because I want to keep my deductions and also oppose removing the protection around pre-existing conditions in health care. Or can't I like Trump for other reasons? Just because I support someone does not mean I follow blindly.

MYbe Matt is okay with Jersey city and Camden being sanctuary cities. But doesn't want Cranbury to be.

How You Can be an Immigrant Ally Locally
While making sure that Congress doesn’t fund Trump’s immigration priorities is important, there are also local policies your group can support that will help protect immigrant families. Below are a few recommendations. But remember, if your group is interested in pursuing any of these activities in your city or town, the first step is to reach out to local immigrant rights organizations to see whether there is an existing campaign and to find out how you can support ongoing efforts.

PROMOTE SANCTUARY POLICIES

In response to federal enforcement actions, local governments have begun resisting pressure to participate in the federal government’s mass deportation program by passing legislation or enacting policies to protect their local immigrant communities. Jurisdictions with policies like these have come to be known as “sanctuary cities.” Traditionally, a sanctuary policy is one that limits the extent to which police will help federal immigration authorities deport people. But increasingly, communities are thinking more broadly about the concept of sanctuary, and pushing their local elected officials to not only stop police from collaborating with ICE, but to make a wide range of changes to improve the lives of immigrant communities and to promote racial justice more broadly.

A few examples of local sanctuary policies include:

A prohibition against holding any person in custody solely due to a request by ICE

A prohibition against local police sharing a person’s release date with ICE

A prohibition against inquiring into or gathering information about an individual’s immigration status

A prohibition against joint operations between ICE and local law enforcement agencies

A prohibition against allowing ICE access to jail facilities, or to persons in local custody, for the purpose of investigating violations of federal immigration law

A prohibiting against deputizing of police to act as ICE agents, and terminating any existing 287(g) agreements between the local jurisdiction and ICE

Except Matt openly stated he does not support this in Cranbury. Your ignoring his words nyd taking a group view. Mr. Mulligan is a Republican and conservative yet he has never adopted a tea party stance.

I agree generally with Trump, but that does not mean I support all of his positions.

What is your point? When Matt Scott openly states he opposes Cranbury being a sanctuary city.

If you want to create issues, why not choose something that Indivisible Cranbury stands for where Matt has not already openly opposed the idea?

Are you saying Matt Scott was part of that mob? As a Republican it does not mean I support the Far Right groups such as those that marched recently.

Stop being a troll. Talk about real positions.

Come on, that is ridiculous.

That is like saying X person works for Welsl Fargo.

Welsl Fargo employees were sanctioned, fired and the board sanctioned and fined for illegal financial practices.

Because X person works for Wells Fargo they are therefore corrupt and committing illegal acts.

Guilt by association independent of one's own actions is counter to our society.

Maybe you should get a life instead of trolling. Or better yet, use a real argument for why not to vote for Matt.


If you oppose the library Matt gave you a great opening...He would support bonding for a library. It is honest, it came from him and he stands by the words. Unlike the sanctuary city.


Quite honestly, we do not have the apartments or low dollar market homes that would enable one to effectively make a sanctuary city. We also do not typically hold people in our cells from what I understand due to the staffing and requirements that all people in holding must be continually monitored. So places like Hightstown with more officers on duty, with apartments and low dollar homes make the environment more conducive to sanctuary city status than Cranbury.

Good point, both candidates are in support of the library but have different approaches.

If you want a to raise taxes to pay for a library, Matt Scott is your candidate.

If you do not wish to have taxpayers fund the new library, but want it funded by private donations or the state initiative, Nancy Witt is your choice.

That seals the deal for me. I do not want to bond for the "LIBRARY FOR A FEW" . If the library wannabees want to pay for and maintain an unnecessary building then let them do so. My concern is the old timers with a mission will be gone and their memorial will end up being funded in perpituity by taxpayers who did not want, nor need the library. I Vote NO for Matt Scott!
