So glad that the PD members are finally allowed to do their job. The well being of ALL individuals should be protected from the offending individuals harming others by destroying property, threatening violence, or assaulting others for a cause they think is worthy isn't an excuse to do harm.

[John W]

Who “allowed” it? If it wasn’t the mayor they’ll be fired today.

Anyone shining a laser in my eyes while I am standing on my front porch would receive a rapid kinetic response from me. And in TX, there might be 4 or 5 counties where I would be concerned about legal ramifications if I were defend myself on my own property in the manner I have in mind.

I don’t live in one of ‘em.

[knarf]

One or two from a crowd of 60 plus is not a sweep, nor a dent ... it’s a photo op

[Pollard]

Dude, learn html.

[Mr. K]

Anyone shining a laser at me would be removing it from an orifice shortly thereafter.

[Diogenesis]

are they celebrating GF’s use of counterfeit money
OR his self-suicide by fentanyl (11x fatal dose at autopsy)
(which is WHY he could not breathe)??

[Labyrinthos]

All riots matter.

[Zathras]

So far they have been attacking liberal parts of the city.
Makes you wonder if they are going to start showing up in Lake Oswego, Beverton and Intel site in Hillsboro.

[CodeToad]

Blinding lasers? I have my own. Military grade lasers. I can set them on fire and would in an instant.

[PGalt]

BE PREPARED to be UNCIVILIZED toward the UNCIVIL.

Civilization

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.

The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Arm up Americans

[sickoflibs]

WE were promised over and over by Dems that the violence would stop once the Federal police pulled back.

The mayor kept repeating that.

[Magnatron]

I didn’t see any “instant justice”...

[maddog55]

If I was a police chief in Portland or any other major city having a problem I’d do the job I was hired to do and put an end to the violence using whatever means and requirements necessary.

The Mayors of these cities are not doing the job they were hired to do so any stand down order would be in violation of their oath of ofice to protect the citizens and property.

OREGON PING

If you’d like to be on the Oregon ping list, please freep mail me.

[Company Man]

"Conservative US" is conservative like
"Christianity Today" is Christian.

Note thay still push the lie that this
is all about George Floyd when everyone
knows better.

[fr_freak]

Rioters again gathered Wednesday night to protest police brutality and systemic racism.

This is 100% horsesh!t. Not only is there no systemic racism, but the rioters are not the same as the original protestors, and they don't give damn about George Floyd, who, unlike Epstein, apparently DID kill himself...with fentanyl.

[Oatka]

“One man who claimed to live in the neighborhood walked toward the police, held out his arms, and shouted, ‘I live here. You need to leave!’ ”

Why didn’t he do this to the rioters? (rhetorical)
