A call on the Donald Trump administration to officially classify the Antifa movement as a terrorist organization has reached the 100,000-signature threshold for a mandatory response from the White House.

The petition was launched on Thursday, August 17, and in just three days, by Sunday evening, topped the minimum of 100,000 signatures required to prompt a formal response from the White House.

The previous US administration had committed to respond within 30 days to any petition that gains over 100,000 signatures, and in some form, answered to over 300 of them since 'We the People' was launched in 2011. Donald Trump’s administration, however, has left almost a dozen petitions unanswered since he assumed office in February, and even considered closing the service down.

Well I guess if 0.03% of the US population has signed a petition on it, it must be a very serious and pressing issue.

When the US allow so many genuine hate groups to exist and not be categorized as Terrorist Organizations then this, rightly, stands absolutely zero chance of happening!

As LT's qoute makes clear. Obama's administration cared about people's concerns in cases like this and treated them seriously, answering over 300 since 2011.
Trump, on the other hand;
'' Donald Trump’s administration, however, has left almost a dozen petitions unanswered since he assumed office in February, and even considered closing the service down.''
That's how much Trump cares about the people and their concerns.

Even Republican House Leader Paul Ryan condemned Trump's comments about equating the actions of ''both sides'' in the Charlottesville incident.

Quote:
House Speaker Paul Ryan said Monday he believed President Donald Trump "messed up" in his response to the recent racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, when he equated neo-Nazis and white supremacists with counterprotesters.
So if anyone is expecting ANTIFA to be categorized as a 'Terrorist Organization' i wouldn't hold your breath. It won't happen and that's a good thing because they clearly aren't.

Why are people complaining about different political groups being allowed to exist? Of course they have a right to exist. However appalling they are...

Nothing will come of this cos America is odd. They're protected by a few amendments that some idiot made up when he thought he founded America or sumin, even though he didn't really... So now they all run around with guns, saying whatever they like, and thats okay or you're unpatriotic.

I guess we just gotta let them work out in their own time that their amendments are dumb af. I'm guessing mass-extinction will beat them to that though.

A group that uses violence against people of differing political views is potentially being branded as "terrorist"? Shocking!

Well as the expression of violence of the Alt right has already been suppressed, in the interests of fairness the same rules should be applied to the suppression of the expression of violence of the Alt left. We can't have any discrimination in PC now can we!!
