Antifa’s Commander Red Curls Into Fetal Position, Cries

Matthew Banta is what happens when children are told they are special, never spanked, brainwashed by the public schools and liberal establishment media, and fed too much soy.

Via WBAY in Wisconsin:

A Neenah man [i.e., Banta, age 23] had a flamethrower, smoke grenades and fireworks during a demonstration in Green Bay Saturday night, according to police and prosecutors.

Police already knew Banta as a “violent Antifa member” who is known as “Commander Red.”

A responding officer says he saw four individuals walking towards a protest with baseball bats. One man was wearing a metal helmet with goggles and military-style gear with multiple pouches, and was carrying an Antifa flag. When the officer pulled his squad car in front of the group, they ran away. The officer caught Banta, who was carrying the flag, and says Banta “dropped into the fetal position and began crying.”

Imagine explaining to one of the troops who stormed Omaha Beach why we let Matthew Banta et al burn our cities down and destroy statues of our greatest heroes in the name of hoodlums who get hurt resisting arrest.

Here’s how the police knew Banta:

Banta is accused in Waupaca County of pointing a loaded gun at a police officer and biting and kicking an officer during a protest earlier this month. He’s charged there with second-degree recklessly endangering safety and four other charges (see related story). He posted a $10,000 cash bond.

A condition of his bail was no weapons, so hopefully this time they will lock him up long enough to keep him from hurting anyone at the next few mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter protests.
