Communists do not allow other parties to participate in elections whether by us of the law or the barrel of a gun, basic Marxism 101.
I can’t believe a judge would allow such thuggish behavior in their courtroom. When I served on multiple juries the judge went out of his way to protect the juries from anything he deemed hostile in or outside the courtroom. I sat on a murder trial and the defendant clearly through facial and body language tried to intimidate the women on the jury. In fact as soon as deliberations began all the women commented on it and in this case instead of playing the victim it pissed them off to no end. When the verdict was read the judge locked down the courtroom and had each member of the jury escorted to their vehicles by deputies before allowing any defendant family or friend out of the courtroom.
Portland and a slew of large Democrats cities have made their beds. It’s now time to climb into that debacle of their own making...
The judge is probably a recruiter for Antifa, but doesn't mention that so as to appear impartial. ;-)
