Portland sees peaceful night of protests following withdrawal of federal agents

All right. Back Antifa's actions as "not" extreme and ignore their violence while changing the subject to suggest that only right-wing "racist extremists" are a threat to the country. Have you considered running for Senate as a Democrat? You sound just like them. Short-sighted and shallow. Defend any violence and anarchy...as long as it's on your side of the aisle. You are complicit in supporting lawlessness by defending Antifa. Meanwhile, zero mainstream Republicans will defend the fringe white supremacist groups who are as few in number as Antifa members, perhaps even fewer.

That ADL article got the history wrong, it started in the 30's, not the 60s...

This is a quote from that article:

"That said, it is important to reject attempts to claim equivalence between the antifa and the white supremacist groups they oppose. Antifa reject racism but use unacceptable tactics. White supremacists use even more extreme violence to spread their ideologies of hate, to intimidate ethnic minorities, and undermine democratic norms. Right-wing extremists have been one of the largest and most consistent sources of domestic terror incidents in the United States for many years; they have murdered hundreds of people in this country over the last ten years alone. To date, there have not been any known antifa-related murders."

Tranlsation: the disease is a LOT worse than the cure.

When they break the law, throw them in jail. But with Right wing terrorism on the rise, I can't see getting terribly excited over this.

 

There wasn't any bloodshed caused by the feds as far as I know. I also know the riots in Portand continue.

 

If you don't want to go on ignore, you are going to have to try harder.

Or are you saying law and morality only apply to Dems and Leftists? Because, looking at your posting, that's the message I am getting.

 

Two elderly women, who protested for BLM, went out last night to tell the vandal Antifa members to stop defacing and destoying property. One of them tried to extinguish a fire the rioters started.

This is fine. Not threatening at all.

 

The two groups are competitors I suppose. One wants a Marxist economy and one wants an end to government.

 

After being assaulted and having paint thrown on them, neither elderly woman is planning to press charges. Silence is encouraging violence.

 

Why subject themselves to months of dealing with the judicial system when they weren't hurt by the paint. I would do the same. I have better uses for my time. The difference with me is that I would take the paint away from the thrower and paint him.

 

What are you babbling about?

It's very simple. Focus. Do you believe that the riots are being instigated by right wing agitators?

Stop being purposely obtuse, and just answer the simple question in simple terms.

 

BLM co-opted by Antifa. The only people left at the Portland "protests" are the destroyers. Pasty white Antifa racists.

 

I'm genuinely curious: what the hell are you talking about?

 

Was this written before or after that Antifa supporter, Conner Betts, went on a murder spree?

 

Not Antifa.

 

Hey! At least Portland has a choice for new leadership this year, Comrade!

 

There is a Republican effort to get Antifa listed as a terrorist organisation. Problem is, crazy people ain't good at keeping their mouth shut.

"Trump said he’ll label the movement a terrorist organization"

"But antifa has started to gain the attention of Republican lawmakers. Last year, Sens. Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Bill Cassidy (La.) pushed a resolution urging the federal government to label antifa as domestic terrorists, but it didn’t go anywhere."

This came to a head when Republicans had extremists stage an event where they planned on showing up and letting Antifa beat the crap out of them for the video. But the extremists talked about it while standing next to a reporter...

This is like blaming firemen for the fire.

"After they left, there warn't no fiah - I blame the fiahmanz for my burnt house!"



What can one say but "liberal logic."

Vote Democrat 2020

 

Reverend Billy looking good.

 

Peaceful!

 

It's the lady with Chairman Mao and Che Guevara printed on she/her skirt who is running for Mayor. Maybe she/her will make Rev Billy (he/him) head of Socialist Services to respond to murders, after police are abolished.

 

´~ I have not seen white shoes since Pat Boone retired ...

 

I knew - I was surprised to see Rev Billy so far west & looking so good!

 

It's part of the schtick...

 

Sure he was, as much as anyone is Antifa. They don't have strict membership requirements or an official roster. Antifa is a bunch of like-minded ideologues, of which Conner Betts certainly was one.

 

He was a psycho killer.

If you look at his history, he didn't do Antifa things.

But he did keep making hit lists. With psychotics, the impulse comes first, and the choice is basically random, whatever they were thinking about when they snap.
