It was a message – ‘we know where you live,’ a form of doxing, which I later learned is an Antifa trademark tactic.

It was shoved in a mailbox in the middle of the night by cowards. If any of us had received it, we would have felt threatened. I have a photo of the note I keep on my phone – I’m not sharing it because I don’t want to jeopardize any criminal investigation that may be underway. It was signed with the group’s three arrows stabbing downward. It opened with “Greetings from Antifa” and went on to say that they were “a direct antifacist group” and he had been declared to be a fascist. Three days after the announcement of his position in the newspaper, someone shoved a handwritten note in his mailbox. They didn’t riot this summer, the riots were all caused by right wing extremists.” I won’t wade into that debate because nothing I write is going to change your perspective. Let me share a true story from this spring. A friend of mine was elected to a position in a rural Virginia county’s Republican Committee. I know there are bound to be a few of you that will claim, “Antifa is a movement – it’s not an organization. Besides, as a true crime author, I thought it might be something worth exploring. I am working on some fiction where insights into Antifa might be useful, so I picked this book up. I also saw how Antifa went after him on social media which actually added to his credibility with me. He often covers riots and violence that I never see on TV. I follow Andy Ngo on Twitter and have seen his videos of the ongoing rioting that is still happening in Portland. I rarely read contemporary non-fiction but this book caught my attention.
