Willem Van Spronsen, 69, sent a manifesto to friends the day before the assault in which he wrote, "I am Antifa," and was lionized as a "martyr" by Antifa on its [[Facebook]] and called on others to avenge his death.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17qhx490Sdo</ref>  Spronsen appears to have been part of a May 5, 2019 episode of CNN’s ''United Shades of America'' with W. Kamau Bell.  The heavily promoted show featured Bell explaining the “Redneck Revolt,” which Bell identified as gun-toting [[liberal]]s who defend the Second Amendment and seek to battle the “alt-right” and neo-Nazis.  Bell called them “good guys,” going to a gun range with members and even questioning why “more white people” don’t share their viewpoints.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/cnn-antifa-ice-glorified</ref>
