PORTLAND, Ore. A meeting to organize a Students for Trump group turned ugly at Portland State University Thursday when dozens of social justice activist students shut down the event with violence.
A video posted to YouTube Friday shows the leftist anti-capitalist students toting signs like Red Power and Mexican flags to the planned meeting to form a Portland State Students for Donald Trump club on campus.
Other signs read Hate has no place at PSU, Dump Trump! and You want to deport immigrants? Okay, when do you leave?
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
I want to discuss the fact that you had set up a Trump promotion for this meeting, in chalk, one girl complained. They had chalked in a promotion for this meeting.
Another girl appeared to have commandeered the meeting at one point: So from you guys, why should students support Trump?
To make America great again! another shot back.
Students wearing the signature red Make America Great Again Trump hats attempted to explain their positions as their activist classmates scream over them. About a dozen students recorded the meeting, and some of the protesters didnt like it.
One social justice warrior repeatedly chest-bumped and yelled into the face of a student who aimed a camera at him, and had to be restrained by others.
Point that f***ing camera at me, he said.
Another student in his group held a sign: Stop the Hate.
Wait until that camera isnt here with all these people, the irate radical screamed at his camera-wielding classmate. You want to get f***ed up?
Progressives Today documented the insanity.
Fights nearly broke out, doxing and vandalism threats were issued to Trump supporters, Latino students were shoving the Trump students out of the way, another student encourages others to join anti capitalist groups, according to the site.
The protesters shut down and silenced the pro Trump group, mocking their talking points, whined about Trump chalk on the sidewalk, and it ends with the socialist students gloating about shutting it down and promising to come back if Students for Trump holds another meeting.
I just want you all to know that you just participated in a successful trump shut-down, a black girl in sweats tells her compadres from atop a table as people streamed out of the event.
And if you try it again, the same s**t is going to happen, she screamed to a raucous applause. I promise you.
If you do this s**t again, were coming back.
Several students posted about the meeting on the Facebook event page for the meeting.
Hot damn that was unreal! Joe Clansman posted.
I expected protestors, but I didnt expect them disrupting and taking over our entire event, Dylan King wrote. If there is a next time, we need to make more of an outreach to get supporters to come or make it a private event (meeting at a place like a restaurant wouldnt be a bad idea). Sadly, making it private wouldnt allow people on the fence to hear what we have to say, which is why wed need more supporters for the next go around.
Im glad it was all on film. When people see 150+ Bernie people surrounding 10 Trump supporters and taking over the event itll work to the Trump supporters advantage, Matt Duffy added. Cant wait.
I completely disagree with Dylan here. I want a rally just like tonight to happen every week until these liberal idiots just stop coming. Although basically no discussion was had, I consider tonight a win for the Trump supporters of PSU, Chance Navarro wrote. Cant back down now.
Don’t Trump supporters deserve safe spaces, or are those reserved only for “progressive” students?
All taxpayer money going to this place should have been shut off yesterday.
Leftist haters.
Two anecdotal tales:
1) Back in the ‘60s the same type of “social justice activist students” were pulling this crap at one college. The professor stationed outside the classroom door, a couple of the biggest, meanest-looking football players he could find.
When these cretins started rampaging down the corridors, they flowed around that room like river water past a rock.
It seems to me that students nowadays who face this crap at their meetings should do something similar.
2) Around the same time, during the Cleveland race riots, many blocks of white-owned stores were burned out. One place stood out - not a mark on it. The press dug into why and found out that the owner had hired - you got it - two of the biggest, meanest black guys he cold find. He armed them with shotguns and stationed them outside his door.
Same river/rock result.
Hard-nose threat of force works wonders on the mob mentality.
Good point!
social justice = socialism “justice”
Yep...Justice to a socialist is do what we say and think like we do or else...
My youngest brother is a hateful, angry leftist. This sort of violence is what he advocates. There is a civil war in our future; and, we won't start it.
Leftist have a very immature view of the world. They don’t under stand that there is no free ride, there is no utopia, and that the reality is that there is only hard work and taking care of oneself, which sometimes includes, if one chooses, sharing this burden with one’s spouse, as well as taking care of one’s children. Other then that life is hard, life is dirty, life is unfair, and has always been unfair and life will never be fair, since what one person or group thinks is fair is most likely considered unfair to another person or group. Life is about compromise as well as keeping one’s composure even when confronted with the indignity of the unjust, undignified raging violence that another uses to deny them of the rights that are for all not just for those who rage like a two year old having a tantrum.
These little Portland Red Guarders claim that Trump and his supporters don’t get free speech protection because they are engaging in “hate speech,” and if it’s hate speech, then leftist thugs are allowed to use whatever means to put down the event.
Of course, they are the ones who get to determine what is “hate speech,” and remarkably, it always seems to be opinions that they disagree with.
I know and i dont care what the reaction of the media will be.
That was a wonderful summation. It cheered me up.
We have to remember that Portland was one of longest continually-occupied “Occupy” camps in the country, and much of it was on Portland State University’s campus (where this occurred).
Absolutely no discipline for these crazy anarchists. Ever.
I saw an interview this morning with a reporter who was in Chicago in 1968, and she said it was horrible, frightening, etc.
Kasich keeps saying how it’s going to be “fun” or something like that. I doubt it.
I’ll second that. Yet he claims, “I just look for Cruz or Trump articles because they are relevant to the election.”
Yeah, except somehow he always manages to find pro-Cruz and anti-Trump articles, and not vice versa.
Eff these leftoid anti-trump scum.
PING!
45 or 308...
as in up close and personal,
or far ranging and indifferent???
What ways of dealing with the pukes, doesn’t feed their “I and mother Gaia are the victims here” mantra?
Really? I missed that story. Does anybody have a link?
Obama loves this crap.
He is counting on it.
He wants to force a confrontation, but only one he can “win” in the public eye... JUST ONCE to prove he and his private army are not a bunch of pu$$ie$.
They will do everything they can organize to EFF up this election...
