76. I got to look into that

still the video shows a guy getting attacked and people all around the place blaming Antifa. The next time something like this happens people who don't care about politics or care just enough will automatically assume Antifa, BLM or any other left leaning group is at fault. I wish there was more video before the attack to see what started this.
