Anyone to the right of Stalin has become “far right” to the media.

The pepper balls are little packets that hold pepper spray fluid. THey sting like hell, and make your eyes water too. Like tear gas, but in a shot...and from a cool green shotty!

The peaceful demonstrators with the permit are journalised as extremists while the violent anarchists are portrayed as innocent bystanders.

M1 rifles broke up that riot at Kent State a lot better.

The author/s left out the part about Antifa terrorists throwing rocks and bottles at the police.

Uh, from the article:

Maybe it's not #FakeNews after all.

Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer were armed to the teeth, and ready.

Some encouraged the cops to go home.

“Too bad I couldn’t have been there to laugh with them.”

They will hold another rally protesting left-wing violence in two weeks (August 18th, noon) at Westlake Park in downtown Seattle.

After the defeat today, expect the international left/antifa to pull out all the stops.

It’ll be a grand time, lots of fun for all!

Their mission is to bring back Free Speech, the Right to Assemble and the Rule of Law to the West Coast. And they are making progress, as evidenced today in Portland.
