I've never seen this before stuff like antifa came about. Traditionally, people that protest wanted to be seen, that's the whole point of protesting, so that the public at large can see what you're doing and get the message. But I see some modern day protestors attacking news crews and cameras and stuff, and I'm like, what? Can anyone explain this?

They don't want to be identified and hope to get away from the legal consequences of participating in a riot.

Half the time Antifa protesters get unmasked you find out that they're professors and shit. It's purely to protect their own livelihoods.

Paid protestors who don't want to be recognized at future protests or videos of previous ones

Professors or anyone who doesn't want to risk their voice being recognized

Vandals and thugs

1. They are likely violent and doing illegal things

2. They often hate free speech and thus hate journalists
