Portland shooting: Is Antifa descending into gang violence?
Awe merican Thinker ^ | 10/13/2019 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 10/13/2019 7:48:45 AM PDT by Bonemaker

Portland Police say a prominent anti-fascist activist was killed early Saturday outside Cider Riot, a Northeast Portland club and a popular gathering spot for left-wing protestors.

Sean D. Kealiher, 23, was hit by an SUV a little after midnight. He had been at the club earlier in the evening. Friends drove him to the hospital, where he died.

Someone fired shots at the SUV after it hit Kealiher, and the vehicle crashed into the headquarters of the Oregon Democratic Party.

The hit and run is being investigated as a possible homicide

“and the vehicle crashed into the headquarters of the Oregon Democratic Party.”

The press is making it sound like the driver ran over Antifa and then intentionally crashed into Dem HQ.

1. The SUV was shot up
2. The SUV was abandoned on the sidewalk in front of Dem HQ, it didn’t crash into the building.
3. Dem HQ is just 500 FEET down the street from Cider Riot

......

Why isn’t Antifa cooperating with police?
Why isn’t Cider Riot cooperating with police? Will it turn over suveillance video?

One America News: Kurdish militia trained Antifa fighters in Northern Syria

Stuff like this may be why the media is so upset over us “abandoning” the Kurds of Northern Syria to Turkish forces, and why Trump decided to cut them loose from any help from us.

This is kind of like history repeating itself...

The Weather Underground group found at the University of Michigan in the 1960s

If you remember splinter group which included Obama Friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn...favored a more radical and violent plan of action...

This could be happening with Antifa, a group gets drunk with power and is not satisfied with protests and street fighting, they want a violent take over and are getting rid of those who oppose them....

Just a thought.

Yes, the author is confused about gun laws in Portland, OR; it doesn’t detract that much from the rest of her article but you would think that she could have spent 5 minutes looking it up.

Antifa has no reason to cooperate with police. Portland PD lets Antifa run the show. Antifa gives marching orders to the police (orders consisting mostly of telling them to go find "alt-right instigators" to arrest and leave Antifa alone). In Portland, Antifa is off-limits. Oakland, CA native and Chief of Police of the Portland Police Bureau Danielle Outlaw is an unapologetic Leftist as is Portland's mayor, Ted Wheeler.

That would make sense because the PKK is a Communist group. Kurdish Workers Party. PKK Killed a US GI or two back in the 1970’s in Istanbul. That was 15 years before my time so I don’t know the specifics.

Thanks for responding to my post.

Make sure to read Ms. Showalter’s whole story. She briefly entertains the idea that Patriot Prayer may have been involved, but doesn’t draw any conclusions one way or another.

I think her case for faction fighting is much more compelling, but that’s only based on what we know about the behavior of both criminal and left-wing groups.

Concerning the Democrats: The only people who are allowed to possess firearms are convicted felons, illegal aliens and, of course one who supports their gun confiscation from law abiding citizens.

Strictly a bus and train rider eh?

Any driver and or car owner knows about “plates”.

The guy (homi-) is dead (-cide), right? Nothing "possible" there.

No shit. I have them on my cars. And if I run someone over in my car but I don't stick around to get arrested, what does it matter if my car had plates on it or not? And I can tell you this, license plates aren't magical devices that make my car invisible when removed. If I took my plates off and ran away, it would still only take the cops about 30 seconds to determine that I was the owner of my vehicles.

Why didn’t the air bag deploy when the SUV hit the guy?

Isn’t the Portland PD part of Antifa, or at least run by it?

How do they know the shot was fired at the SUV after it hit mr antifa and not before? Are all the witnesses antifa members? If so I wouldn't trust them to tell the truth.

Only downside I see is that Antifa has guns.

At least as likely, is the possibility of internecine warfare amongst the Antifas themselves. Kealiher, the victim, was identified as an 'anarchist' which not the same as a communist, or other hard leftist, and leftist groups are well known for their enforcement of political correctness, purges, and "struggle sessions" amongst themselves.

Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives turning on each other or themselves? Go figure.

"in order to form a more perfect union"? Not so much.
