> I support communities defending themselves against violence.

Interpreting @glaurent's tweet as describing self defense is a stretch in my opinion.

  we have an "antifa" movement in France (reacting to our 
  rising far right), and they're often just as violent :-(

There has been no violence in this situation.

The context of the tweet is general anti-fascist activities in France, not this or any other specific situation.
