It matters very much who threw the smoke bomb. When committing a criminal act (commies had been told to disperse) all collateral damage caused by your actions are legally laid at your feet.
Try to outrun the Police and one of the Cops runs over a pedestrian? You get charged with manslaughter. Etc. etc.etc. No, an antifag member didn't put a gun to the horses head (unlike when one stuck a knife into a horses neck: https://www.makingwebnews.com/crazed-liberal-horse-stabbed-trump-protest-racist-trump-supporter-watch/ ) but their actions indirectly caused the horses' death.
I will say it again, what the fuck is wrong with everybody today? Regardless of the horse, which was a tragedy, I posted a video of riot police busting anitfag heads. I thought it was quite nice to see a line of cops swing heavy pole onto leftist head.
Didn't you?

Of course it does, but language also matters very much. Antifa did not kill a horse. The person who killed the horse killed the horse. They apparently did scare the horse with the bomb, but they did not kill it. Learn to language.
People aren't that upset, but notice how they're all telling you they don't appreciate you distorting the truth (lying) about what actually happened. If you'd have stuck to
you'd have been fine. And yeah, the beating was sweet, but far too short.

Tell me again exactly which Antifa protestor put down the animal?
The answer is “None of them.”
Take your doublespeak bullshit elsewhere, retard.
