It’s time to form up militias...
If the police won’t stop Antifa/bLM, maybe it’s time for the people to go vigilante on these bastards. Just make sure to use the three S’s. Shoot, Shovel, Shut up.
So, why do we have police? They certainly aren’t there to protect and serve; seem more like they are there to protect the terrorists than anything else.
Got a feeling his days of carrying a non-lethal pellet gun to deal with people blocking the road are over.
Stay inside the vehicle, call the police, wait, do not display your lethal weapon, make them break in, shoot until the threat(s) ends. Repeat as necessary.
BTW, how is the protestors displaying their weapons in a threatening manner not brandishing?
...depending on where the person armed with the rifle was...
Oregon has recall laws.
Taking an airsoft gun to a gunfight is a really bad idea.
“who had closed off roads as part of their protests against police brutality. “
...who had closed off roads as part of their nonsensical protests against fictional police brutality.
FIFY.
Another story about WWIII going on all around us yet no one wants to acknowledge it.
Remember the Bundy’s and the FBI shooting down Leroy Finicum?
Our own government takes the side of the criminals over and over again.
We need the means and a place to archive all such street confrontations for several reasons:
1. To learn. We should also seek to gather as many details as possible so that other may learn how to better respond in the future.
2. As background evidence for when the eventual person uses counteractive and otherwise lethal force against such aggressions, where such videos can be used in their defense.
3. To provide video evidence of the perpetrators of these actions for future prosecutions and/or retribution.
The time has long since passed to complain about the double-standards, the lack of law enforcement, or the actions of the enemy. We must accept reality as it is presented to us. Anywhere can become a battlefield at any time one walks out the door. We are past ‘buy more guns’ and keeping your powder dry.
Realities must be accepted.
Courage must be acquired.
Intelligence must be gathered.
Actions must be taken.
Anything else is asking for repeated aggression.

jimjohn - OUT.
I read the story and watched the video. He was on his way out of there when he got a hair up his butt and decided to get out and confront the thugs. Dumb, dumb, dumb. He stated that he had a concealed carry permit and a little .38 revolver and was facing greater than 10 thugs, one armed with a rifle. He should have sped out of the danger zone and if he wanted to be bad ass he could have turned around, achieved ramming speed, and taken out a whole bunch of antifaholes. Of course, hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20.
This can be stopped in one day, Portland refuses to do so.

The place is populated with and run by trashy foreigners, many of them only three or four generations removed from the uglier parts of Europe. It’s an unAmerican no-go zone full of garbage that oozed into California before flowing into Oregon. Most of the more western states are getting to be that way.
Everyone should just keep blissfully grazing...
The really bad stuff is on its way, so just:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

In the aftermath of a crime, the Oregon Crime Victims’ Compensation Program works to ease the financial burden suffered by hundreds of Oregonians each year. Benefits for victims and their families include:
mental health counseling expenses
medical and hospital expenses
eyeglasses, hearing aids, dentures and other medically necessary devices and expenses
rehabilitation expenses
loss of earnings
funeral expenses
loss of financial support to dependents of homicide victims
grief counseling expenses for relatives of homicide victims
counseling expenses for children who witness domestic violence
counseling expenses for family members of Oregonian victims of international terrorism
It doesn’t seem to cover property damage.
