I don't care if someone carrying a black lives matter flag tells me they support the use of violence against fascists. That's fine.
It's when someone shows up and says that harm is the priority. I have no indication from this photo what OP stands for. And so I can't help but wonder. Did he show up because he opposes Nazis? Or because he was looking for someone to hurt, and discovered that they were a permitted target? If so, I don't really care what he does to Nazis, but I can't trust that person to advance justice at all. Does that make sense?
Also, again: OP should be careful. If someone like that comes up to you and starts asking if you want to go put your money where your mouth is... they could be setting you up.
I think you've misread my comment.
