Stop. Nobody shielding any extremist is correct. 

This is a stupid game of "my party isn't as extreme as yours". Neither party is extreme. Any attempt to paint the other side as extreme is petty. 

I am intentionally withholding examples of extremism on the right that have been shielded. We could do that all day. 

The point I am trying to make is that I agree with you. You should also agree with me. No extremism is okay and shielding it is never permissable. Comparing cherry-picked examples and trying to create a narrative is a futile exercise. 

The neo-nazi groups for the most part gather peacefully but have a dangerously hateful message of intolerance and bigotry. ANTIFA is a bunch of anarchist losers, but they target hate groups and what they view as corruption. We can go in circles all day about what is better or worse about any of them. But at the end of the day neither of us should be on either side of groups like this.
