smashing windows, setting fires, and beating people?

First of all, whatever you may think of these three things, they are not actually morally comparable to each other. Smashing windows is not actually as bad as beating people up. And classing them together like that is misleading because it allows you to pretend that antifa does all three equally and without provocation which is simply not the case. They shouldn't break windows either but if the worse you have to say about how they threaten free speech is that they break windows, that's a real different narrative.

These are not peaceful protesters who get out of hand. These are people showing up intending violence.

They're radical protesters. Some of them probably show up intending violence. That's, again, not the same as saying that they're all thugs who show up to beat innocent protesters. Again, I'm not defending everything that antifa has ever done. But I don't think it's accurate to pretend that they're thugs inciting violence when that's not the case.

Sooo... property damage in response to words we disagree with is okay? Because it's not okay in my world. Just because it's a "lesser crime" does not excuse it in any way. It's still violent thuggery. It's still them saying "shut these people up we don't like, or we will throw a riot that will cost your city hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage."
