"Mmmmmm, good friends at a peaceful BBQ. Get me a dozen slabs of ribs and a gallon of BBQ sauce. I need a snack"

It's a truism in life that, sometimes, it's the most obvious thing that you manage to overlook. One time, late at night in college, I could not find a pencil that I'd just had. I picked up books, moved papers. Checked the floor. Nothing. It wasn't until I went to lift my typewriter off the desk and put the pencil in my hand into my mouth so I could use both hands that I suddenly realized that the pencil had been in my hand the whole time.
When it comes to the riots in Portland, there's an obvious fact that the media are overlooking: the protesters don't have to be protesting where they are — in front of the Federal Building.
There are no restrictions in Portland on locations of protests. They can go anywhere in the city to protest. There are plenty of parks — over 10,000 acres of them. There are plenty of other city blocks. There are 145.09 square miles in Portland. The Federal Courthouse is on one block.
And there's the obvious point overlooked: the protesters are choosing to be there. This means that in this situation, they are the aggressors, not the feds...

But it is point easily made and easy to repeat without getting wrong.

“This means that in this situation, they are the aggressors, not the feds...”
DUH!
You mean the guy that wrote this article actually thought it was the other way around before his brilliant epiphany?
Have you seen any video of the courthouse actually on fire?
Or izzit still just that bunch of non-Boy-Scouts still failing at starting a trash fire outside the building? d:^)
Trump pulled the Fed officers back and the more serious violence subsided which tells me EVERYONE IN THE CROWD IS BEING LED BY THE POLITICAL HEIRARCHY IN PORTLAND OR STANDING DOWN AT THE BEHEST OF GEORGE SOROS AND SONS in order to make Trump look like THE VIOLENCE PRIOR TO TRUMP'S PULLBACK was all his fault.
Organic my arse.. The SUDDEN absence of vandalism, looting and violence upon police PROVES these riots are NOT ORGANIC!!
HOW COME THESE PORTLAND RIOTERS SUDDENLY SHOW RESPECT FOR THE OREGON STATE POLICE BY NOT ATTACKING THEM? BECAUSE THESE RIOTERS ARE AGENTS OF THE DEMONRAT PARTY WHO SEEK ONLY TO GIVE THE APPEARANCE THE PRIOR VIOLENCE WAS ALL TRUMP'S FAULT, THAT'S WHY!
Antifa/BLM are ALL George Soros' SHEEP, and NOT INDIVIDUALS!
I would have extended the essay a bit if I were him.
I think what he is trying to say is that the Left is claiming that the protesters are peaceful and that Trump is a dictator for trying to protect federal property.
The muddled-minded mushy middle of the road moderate voter is listening to this and agreeing with the Left.
People on the right are trying to argue that all that Trump is trying to do is protect federal property without pointing out that the protesters, if they were truly peaceful, could choose some other form and place of protesting and that they are making a violent statement merely by their choice of protest site in and of itself.
If would be bonus to point out some of the nasty scammers and other types who were found guilt of federal fraud crimes in that federal courthouse in the last year and to point out upcoming cases set to take place in that federal courthouse, cases that may be uncomfortable for local politicians.
I think all the author is saying is that people are not making the obvious obvious.
They have begun to realize that this CRAP is hurting them SO Soros called the thugs home!!!
I, like many others, have looked all over for a pair of eyeglasses which were on my head the whole time. Fatigue makes for strange happenings. I heard one man describe how he had called someone to let them know that he would be running late for a meeting but would be there as soon as he could find his cell phone...the same cell phone he was calling them on.
Heh......Nadler’s a slob, too?
Jest a buncha naughty schoolboys havin’ a little fun......
Nadless is scum.
“I think all the author is saying is that people are not making the obvious obvious.”
And who are these “people” who are not making the obvious obvious?
Does he really believe that it is just a simple innocent oversight on the part of the “media” to not make the obvious obvious?
Is he really that naive?
Watch him closely———this obese scum was surgically resectioned.
That procedure causes involuntary bowel movements.......Nadler could be packing a load at any time.
Everyone has gotten to see the new reduced version of Nadler that put him out front of the national news during the hearings....and have never seen the before images unless they lived in his district.
Man was waaay more obese back in the day....the Jabba the Hutt neckless jowls merely hint at the mass.
