Regarding Jillian Melchior’s “Biden and Trump are Both Right on Antifa” (op-ed, Oct. 2): Suggesting that Antifa is an undefined, loosely organized group with no strategy takes a line right out of the Susan Rice-Ben Rhodes playbook: The Benghazi consulate attack was a spontaneous response to a video. Who creates and sets up the contact lists; coordinates the logistics; sends invitations; coordinates the out-of-state transport; provides the rental trucks; designs, orders and distributes the signs; drops the bricks; provides the glass cutters; buys the water bottles, fills them with ice, freezes them and distributes them to hundreds; pays the bail of these phantom destroyers; teaches the tactics of disenfranchising, attacking and maiming our police and antagonizing our citizens and business owners? Professional and paid mourning and protesting has been with us throughout time and across cultures. Used to draw attention, deflect and provoke fear, Antifa has evolved its tactics with the goal of destroying the U.S. and the world as we know them. Cheryl TatreauBradenton, Fla.
