https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2019/08/portland-protests-aug-17-what-you-need-to-know.html This Saturday the City of Portland is sponsoring a riot which will result in injuries, fights, property damage and considerable loss of revenue to Portland businesses. The end result will be feckless police action due to shackling of police officers due to local politics, a few arrests of leftists which will have the charges dropped, and a token few arrests of right-wingers, whether they were involved in violence or not. The thing is, things shouldn't have come to this in the first place. The Portland mayor, who has appointed himself Police Comissioner, will take sides with Antifa, like he always does and Antifa becomes emboldened. This one sided response infuriates those on the right and they get more support and we end up with an upward escalation of violence. I firmly believe both sides of tomorrows riot are reprehensible and I condemn both of them. With that being said, no one in this sordid affair is more culpable than Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler who has enlisted Antifa, which could be credibly described as a domestic terrorist organization, as a politcal action arm of Portland's ultra-leftist government. Furthermore, if the Portland mayor had simply let the Portland Police do their job in previous riots, tomorrow's riot wouldn't occur.
It would be a spectacle, but the important thing to remember is to keep yourself hydrated. It is going to get awful hot wearing black with a motorcycle helmet on with a gas mask, so one does need to admire their commitment to shutting down opposing ideas. Not that I believe you are associated with Antifa or the Proud Boys in any way shape or form.
Sounds like the mayor of Portland actually wants this sort of behavior at the expense of the people of Portland. The economic damage along with the property damage it does to the city must be substantial. How do people like Ted Wheeler even get into power to begin with and why it's the State or Federal Gov't stepping in? Obama would have wiretapped him and had him arrested by now if this were switched the other way.
"Antifa" and "Proud Boys" = False Flags Bankrolled By Trump's Dirty Tricks Slush Fund Hopefully there is a minimum of civil disruption during this "encounter".
I hope you do not go in front of the Antifa rally and tell them you believe they are a false flag bankrolled by Trump. I am pretty sure you would get bear sprayed for your efforts. And as for hoping for the best, that is a decent sentiment, but the violence in Portland keeps on ratcheting upwards. If only Portland had a governmental entity that was dedicated to keeping the peace....
As long as Portland allows these groups to clash and to incite violence, it will never stop. Arrest the Mayor already and be done with it. He is a danger to that city. He is also a complete and total idiot. Doesn't the other group have a permit to march, legally? Proud Boys or Proud Prayer group or something, whatever they are called...?
It will probably play out like a WWE Script. Trump's False Flag bankrolling BOTH sides and a completely choreographed "routine" like a Fixed WWE Match.
Patriot Prayer group is not involved in this march. The Proud Boys and Antifa both have permits to hold a rally.
Haven't you heard? Portland has gone full Gestapo and is now arresting Proud Boys before the event. None for ANTIFA of course since those gutless cowards hide behind masks. And no arrested for their gay bashing assault either. This is my shocked face. https://www.witsnews.com/proud-boys...ive-pro-trump-patriots-before-saturday-rally/
Too bad both sides couldn't bond together over an important issue that is going on right under their noses. That being the slavery of women in the sex trade in Portland. If anything makes people ashamed of being American it should be the sex industry that fuels the slavery of women who are often children.
These fights would end if the liberals in Oregon would adopt a law banning covering your face at protest rallies but they don't because they support the violence ANTIFA inflicts on others.
Yep. The Mayor and the Police Commissioner are the same corrupt person. https://video.foxnews.com/v/6072925756001/#sp=show-clips
These riots never happen unless the local authorities allow them to happen. That's why there has been rioting in Portland, Berkeley and Charlottesville but not in Washington DC. I'm really starting to think the Feds need to step in there. Regardless of who is demonstrating and counter-demonstrating that violence should never be allowed to happen.
I just hate seeing the scenes where the ANTIFA asshats block streets and attack cars and old people just trying to get around town.
So says Marvin, the Seer of the Future... Here's your problem, Mr. Portland... I bolded it for you... SNIP Two Florida men with large followings in the right-wing movement are holding an “End Domestic Terrorism” rally Saturday at 11 a.m. in Tom McCall Waterfront Park. ENDSNIP I see Andy Ngo is not a lock to attend... too bad.... he's easy to spot...
There is no doubt that the KKK were Democrats and I doubt BLM, Antifa or the Black Community Control of Police are members of the Republican Party.
