| Owen Stroyer here. | |
| We are outside the Super Bowl. | |
| I am with a member of Antifa. | |
| So I didn't actually see you guys out there today. | |
| Were you guys protesting today? | |
| We did not organize here as a bowl today. | |
| I came out to represent by myself for a lipstick group. | |
| So it wasn't organized like you guys did in Austin or after the travel ban or anything like that? | |
| Correct. | |
| Okay, are you from Houston? | |
| I am. | |
| Is there an Antifa branch in Houston? | |
| There is. | |
| So, is it like, there's a, Antifa is the bigger organization nationwide, and then there's like little branches in big cities, is that how it works? | |
| Correct. | |
| Okay, so, now I have a question for you, and I'm not saying that you're violent, I'm not making any assumptions about yourself, I actually just, I was walking next to you, you seem like you're probably a regular dude, just like myself, but... | |
| Do you think that some of the Antifa protests have been getting out of hand, or is this something that you guys think is just kind of prescribed with your movement? | |
| I believe that fascism should be posed at any cost. | |
| The inability to resist fascism causes things like the Holocaust in the late 30s and 40s, racial prejudice during the Genpro era here in the United States, and that needs to be stopped by any means necessary. | |
| Okay, so you're saying that when these things get out of control, that's just kind of the prescription of what you guys are trying to do? | |
| Neo-Nazism inspires violence, so it should be responded to with the same... | |
| Okay, so let's talk about the Neo-Nazism and the fascism right now that is scaring you guys or getting you guys out to protest. | |
| Right now, because we have a president, and more importantly, somebody that's one of his top advisors that represents white supremacy. | |
| You're talking about Steve Bannon? | |
| Correct. | |
| It's causing white supremacists to rise out of the woodworks. | |
| So I'm just curious, what makes Steve Bannon a white supremacist? | |
| He's openly... | |
| Condemned Muslims just for their beliefs, a completely peaceful religion. | |
| I don't think that's true though. | |
| I think that he's condemning the violent aspect of it, the radical Islamitarian aspect. | |
| He doesn't because he generalizes. | |
| He generalizes all Muslims as violent. | |
| He generalizes everybody for Black Lives Matter as violent. | |
| That's completely false. | |
| He thinks that black people sticking up against police brutality is violent. | |
| and that's just something that's resisting a historical system of discrimination, how is that violent? | |
| That doesn't make any sense. | |
| But with Breitbart magazine, Breitbart publications, they're implying that all these groups that are not white are inherently violent or against them, and that's not true. | |
| Is this your train? | |
| You don't have to get on this train, do you? | |
| I agree. | |
| Well, I would just say this. | |
| I disagree with you. | |
| I think that the media is spinning it. | |
| But I will say this. | |
| I think that... | |
| If you guys continue to protest and it gets violent, the police state and the dictatorship that you're trying to fight is only going to become true. | |
| Because that's the only way they can answer that, is bringing in the police state to stop the violence. | |
| What are your thoughts? | |
| We've lived in a police state for as long as I've been alive. | |
| But it could be worse, like out here in Houston. | |
| It's already pretty bad. | |
| You have police openly attacking homeless people. | |
| What I'm saying is right now, because I'm not disagreeing, but I'm saying right now, you guys, Antifa's able to protest and even be violent and break things, and there was only one arrest made at the last protest. | |
| I'm saying they're going to bring in martial law to stop you guys, and that's going to bring in a true dictatorship. | |
| That should also be a resistance fighting is necessary. | |
| Well, then I would stop it, though, but that's what I'm saying. | |
| I'm saying you guys might bring it in. | |
| You might not believe in freedom, then, because... | |
| Believing in freedom means you must resist the police state just as well. | |
| I agree. | |
| I do resist the police state, but I think that the protest you guys are leading is going to lead to the police state. | |
| That's all I'm saying. | |
| The police state is already here. | |
| Alright, well, hey, thank you for your time, man. |
