Citizens of the US that respect the rule of law need to flee the communist states.
Before things get really ugly.

“I was appalled by what I saw in the video, but I support the Portland Police Bureau’s decision not to intervene,”

Well, duh. All parties involved are members in good standing of one Union or another.

Except for the motorists. There's a fitty-fitty chance they're members of a Union.

Heh, heh. Heh. I said "members".

>Actually Portland is a great town. Great restaurants, nice attractions. But first inviting the homeless (mentally ill and drug addicts) and now antifa. I live across the river in Vancouver, WA and now rarely go to Portland. And I am not alone. Well done mayor and city counsel

About the only reason to cross the bridge is to go to Saltys. Unless you don’t like overpriced seafood of course

The real facts of C’ville are that a group of preservationists had gotten a permit to demonstrate for keeping our historical monuments.
The left won’t allow that and hatched a plan to paint anyone wanting to preserve our history as a white nationalist by bussing in the Tiki Torch Brigade, led by an undercover leftist.
The police at the direction of Gov. “Clinton’s Bag Man” McAwful then shoved that group into a waiting mob of antifags furthering the narrative of the “violent right”, which they had to invent to offset the very real violence on the left.
It was an elaborately staged play.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is a traitor to the United States of America.

Great, now more high-minded chuckleheads will fan out and try to make wherever they go “Like Portland USED to be!”

At one point, the activists chased down 74-year-old Kent Houser after he made a right turn against their wishes, pounding on his silver Lexus and breaking a window. The car sustained thousands of dollars in damage, he told the Oregonian.

Mob rule - thug rule - democrat rule... VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT OF OFFICE BEFORE THEY DESTROY THE COUNTRY.

We also lived in Portland Oregon decades ago for 4 years while going to seminary.

Portland used to be a safe, thriving, beautiful city in which to raise a family or retire in, but no longer.

It is a tragedy the literal godless, lawless, crime ridden, anarchist, communist hell-hole the communist left has turned it into.

The hand writing is on the wall. If I were a property owner I would sell immediately before the housing market totally tanks and get the blazes out of there before I or any of my family becomes a victim of the godless, lawless, communist, anarchist tyranny that now reigns supreme in Portland Oregon.

Hey if he can afford a Lexus made of silver, he can afford to get it fix............. Oh. Isn’t that elder abuse? Is it against the law in Oregon to abuse the elderly?

Someone is going to be killed out there. Probably right before the mid terms. Who gets killed, and by whom will be very clouded. But the result will be polarizing. Just wait...this stuff is staged like a high school play.

If they consider him a Republican, then beating him as an elderly man is okay, because he is part of the enemy and not human to them.

The mayor should be recalled immediately for not defending the city and its people.

my liberal dtr and her husband who love Portland are just about getting "enough" of it.....

I've encouraged her to at least invest in some land outside of town someplace...

“In the runup to the elections in Germany in 1932, the Sturmabteilung would attack opponents of the National Socialists while the police stood by and watched, doing nothing.

In the runup to the elections in the United States in 2018, Antifa would attack opponents of the Democrat party while the police stood by and watched, doing nothing.

Antifa: the Sturmabteilung of the Democrat party. “

Great historical parallels to note. The Red Guards under the Bolsheviks used similar tactics.
We need to use historical examples like this to illustrate the ground these people are going down.

Freedom is rare in historical records, and tyranny always wants to snuff out freedom.
The left doesn’t believe in the citizenry being smart enough to govern them selves.
They believe like all tyrants in history that government machinery is needed to control the masses. And they want to be at the levers of that power.

So let’s pool our resources and buy it. I got $5.00 bucks in Al cans in the garage.
