Civil War 2.0 going hot in Portland, Oregon
American Thinker ^ | 19 Jul, 2020 | Peter Barry Chowka

Posted on 07/19/2020 7:40:31 AM PDT by MtnClimber

In recent weeks, Portland, Oregon has emerged as the flashpoint of the organized violent anarchist-communist movement that seeks to “transform” the United States into a lawless Third World Marxist state. Late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, a mob of hundreds of “protesters” played another violent cat and mouse game with the city’s police and federal officers on the streets of downtown Portland. The police officially declared a riot at 11 PM PDT after which the building housing the police union (PPA) headquarters was set on fire by “demonstrators,” according to multiple sources.

I have been following reports from the streets on Twitter and elsewhere online all night that have included multiple cell phone videos. The hashtag #portlandprotest is one active thread featuring reports and videos, many if not most of them sympathetic to the violence. In fact, the vast majority of tweets on the subject have taken the side of the “protesters,” many of them insisting that the fire at the PPA was a false flag – a modern version of the 1933 Reichstag Fire set by the Nazis in Berlin – this time allegedly set by the Portland police themselves in order to provide an excuse for more “repression.” Other tweets have claimed the fire was a worthy tactic in the radicals’ campaign to do away with Portland’s police force. Trending on Twitter this past week – some of them serving as organizing tools for street actions and flash mobs – are hashtags like #TrumpThreatensAmerica and #trumpnazi.

I wonder how widespread this will become leading up to the 2020 election?

Hitting someone in the head with a hammer like that is intent to kill. This thug should be locked away for decades.

First shut down the cell towers. Arrest the rings leader and set a curfew of 9 PM . And shut down the rib joint which is fueling them. O no not the rib joint I’m out here I surrender.

If the cops shot the vermin, the cat and mouse game would eventually end.

LOL..."Civil War 2". How'd that last autonomous zone work out for ya? These idiots will be swept away shortly after President Trumps massive landslide victory in November. They have so many agents embedded in their groups there isn't anything they do without someone being aware of it. If anything President Trump is intentionally allowing this to play out to draw a horrific contrast between his vision for America and what the democrats plan to do to destroy it.

Some of these idiot rioters will learn, some will certainly have time to learn with 20 year sentences.

Normally Sane People think that if they Vote and Elect Quid Pro Joe the groping pedo the Riots will magically stop the day after the Election.

This is a classic National Lampoon “Vote for Biden or we’ll shoot this Dog” Election.

Little do they know that if Joementia actually wins, this is just the beginning. Give them an inch and they will destroy the American Republic.

But for the first, year, things will appear to be returning to normal. Biden will be portrayed as the "Centrist" uniting the country again. But behind the scenes, outside of the news, is where the damage will be happening.

How many bureaucratic state operatives are within that crowd? They strategize that it's the best weapon against a Trump win again in November.

Command, control, finance, travel, lodging, and logistics. It's all been available in real time. We found that out from the Baltimore riots.

True, but the Fringe will take his Election as a Willie Wonka Golden Ticket moment where they get to take over The Chocolate Factory.

The Oompa Loompas will pay the price.

All paid for by the way from Obama's funding of these groups with guidance and finding from our very own treasury.

Simply amazing we are that stupid.

Trump had nothing to gain by sending in federal police. He should have let the left eat the city. They citizens have the ultimate responsibility for their votes.

The fact that the troubles have significantly receded to the ANTIFA home base of Portland is, to me, indicative of ANTIFA's weakness.

The scenes being acted out in the streets is a play that stars the "takers" (protestors) and "fakers" (Portland leadership) in that area - with rank-and-file police serving as stage props.

ANTIFA/BLM are probably conserving their energies for a big flare-up in November if President Trump wins the election. In fact, here's a rather sobering video about what to expect in November:
