We Wish There Were Some Kind Of Organized, Armed Force That Could Fight Back Against Antifa
Babylon Bee ^ | 8/20/2019 | Babylon Bee

PORTLAND, OR—In a press release earlier this week, Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw (her actual name), appearing somber and exhausted, said she just wishes there were some kind of group with the firepower and authority to fight back against Antifa.

In a candid moment, Outlaw (seriously, her actual name) said there was just nothing the police could do, as they'd need to have some kind of organized, armed force specifically created to protect and serve the people.

"Like, what if we took money from everyone to fund a force that could then defend them in a time of need?" she pondered aloud. "They could have patrol cars, firearms, and attack dogs. Maybe even some tanks. That would be so frickin' rad. They could have a badge to show their authority. Then, when a rogue group like Antifa shows up to take over our city every weekend, they could be repelled using force if necessary."

"I know it sounds crazy, but a girl can dream, right?" she added wistfully.

Sadly, there is no such force in Portland, so citizens have been forced to turn to an even crazier idea: taking responsibility for their own safety and well-being, and maybe even buying a gun to protect themselves.

So who’s going to do the disarming? I want battle plans, resources, vehicles, weapons, politics, etc.

Tired of hearing how we’re helpless to stop it. In this age of doxxing and Red Flagging, even the enforcers of the PTB want to go home at night, too.

Yeah, be careful who you talk to & what you say. But this still isn’t KGB-Land yet.

It’s satire. Babylon Bee. satire in keywords. Satire in comments.

Trump could nationalize the NG but then that might put them in the place where no US troops are allowed to shoot at citizens as in Latin American and Third World countries. Maybe the FBI since the did such a wonderful job at Waco.

Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw (her actual name) . . .

I didn't believe them, because of the source, but that is her actual name.

If it isn't the police, it will end up being some variant of the SA - which nobody wants.

A lot of college-educated liberals need to learn that Leftist thugs don't in any way "care about the people", and need to be dealt with like the criminals they are. Indulging them out of misplaced sentiment will lead to an inevitable public backlash, and the situation will become Germany in the 1920's all over again.

Satire swerves into the truth of my fears about Antifa. They’re just commie street ruffians, albeit organized. Precisely the kind of people that caused the Nazi Party to form the SA in Hitler’s rabble-rousing days. Whoever pulls their strings knows this.

It would only require one well armed, trained and dedicated person to pretty much annihilate Antifa in PDX.

I’m not recommending doing so. Just sayin’, that’s all that’s required.

Antifa is organized crime; why are they not arrested on sight?

Sounds like a plan. Between her and the Viking Kitties, things should be covered.

Perhaps note satire in title.

Otherwise, I like to promote a new, patriot Congress for PDJT regardless if satire.

The best way for them to achieve that is to start one house at a time.

Same way they say you can’t deport 11,000,000 people. But you can certainly deport one. Then two.

Red Flag laws are going to be the best vehicle so far.

That’s how you turn up the water temperature without the frog knowing.

Just infiltrate them and find out who they are.

I think it shows several decades of pussifying police forces all over the US.

All she needs is a few Navy Seal types, with license to kick butt, and Antifa would cease to exist.

Antifa was actually formed as a rival to the Nazis in 1930s Germany. Of course they use the same tactics because they compete for the same kind of followers, just as they did back then. Since Antifa lost out to the Nazis in pre WWII Germany, they were never discredited in the same fashion. So they have been causing various amounts of trouble ever since, here and in Europe. They are especially active now, as they see their dreams of communist dictatorship slip away under Trump.

My wife was telling me there is quite the “twitter war” going on between Snopes and the Bee at the moment. Snopes is trying to get them banned for telling “fake news”! (But I’m guessing you knew that already.)

I’m probably too old to infiltrate.

Also I imagine that one look at me will tell them that I am not them.

I would be suitable for other tasks, but not that particular task.

Judging from their postures in various videos, I’d estimate most of them to be 20 somethings. Not fit. Liberal looking. Nonetheless, in numbers, armed and armored, they are dangerous.

If asked, retired Special Forces and Marines would do it gratis. 😁

Why not just have the Portland Games. Rent a stadium, sell pay per view tickets, and have Antifa vs. Proud Boys on the field. Everyone would be searched for dangerous weapons, and since it would be a sporting event there would be no risk of arrest for assault.

The standard NFL TV setup could be used, along with blow by blow announcers, referees, and for really good moments the instant replay.

It could be fought out in quarters, with each side permitted a couple of timeouts, with a variation on capture the flag. Whatever side captures the other sides flag wins 3 points.

Whoever has the most points at the end of a few hours of brawling gets the prized Portland Cup.

During half-time there would be entertainment.

It sounds like a comedy routine the late Murray Roman did in 1967.

"ABC's Wide World of Sports present Championship Rioting! This weekend, it's the LAPD versus the Cleveland Negroes."
