SALEM, Ore. — Over the past decade, Oregon saw the sixth-highest number of violent domestic extremism incidents in the nation, according to a new report from the secretary of state’s office.

Secretary of State Shemia Fagan and the Oregon Audits Division released an advisory report on Wednesday that identifies efforts that Oregon state agencies can undertake to thwart it.

There were 11 domestic violent extremism incidents in 2020 in Oregon, according to the report. A majority of the 2020 incidents were associated with the near nightly protests and riots in Portland, including the night a Donald Trump supporter was shot and killed by a counter-protester. The report also mentions the December Oregon State Capitol building breach by "Reopen Oregon" demonstrators.

“I’m surprised it’s not higher on the list, actually," Randy Blazak, a sociologist and expert in extremism, said. "We have a long history of extremist groups in the state. There is an ideology in Oregon that we are kind of separate from the rest of the country, so we are a hotbed for white supremacist groups and militia groups."

So the “nightly protests and riots in Portland” in 2020 were by “white supremacist and militia groups”.

they are a hot bed for leftist supremacist groups and military groups.

another opportunity to lie.

So who’s number one?

[goodnesswins]

Yeah...it was ANTIFA...

I just saw an AP article in the newspaper not five minutes ago on this.

Oregon Audit: More to Do to Reduce Risk of Violent Extremism

Whenever you see anything by the SPLC you know it is an extremely biased far-left report.

[Karliner]

I have a feeling someone in government deleted 75% of the bad stuff. This paints a picture that 13% of white people do 50% of the crimes( or more).

[keats5]

“Domestic extremism?”
Sounds like someone is too much into home improvements.

I remember reading in the '90s about some training camps for radical left-wing protesters hidden in the Oregon forests.

They are probably still there, greatly expanded. My theory is that radicals go there to train, then have their final exams in nearby cities. That would explain Portland.

“OR saw the 6th highest number of domestic extremism incidents in the last decade”

Further down:

“There were 11 domestic violent extremism incidents in 2020 in Oregon, according to the report.”

ELEVEN - and only “according to the report”. In “mediaspeak”, that means the real number is 0 or 1.

“There were 11 domestic violent extremism incidents in 2020 in Oregon, according to the report.”

NYC has this many race-based Simba attacks in a week.

"... There is an ideology in Oregon that we are kind of separate from the rest of the country, so we are a hotbed..."

Gee. Separate from the rest of the country? I wonder where they got that idea from?

[logi_cal869]

If they actually counted absent Common Core, the number would be vastly higher and reflective of the facts.

But we’re talking about the government and the media here.

Orwell, anyone?

Left Coast = Extremism

It’s part of the deal when one goes democrat

[Retain Mike]

Well, I live in Oregon (for now). Based on the Portland, Salem, Eugene political/social climate, I wonder how many of the extremists represent a demented logic directed at members of Oregon Firearms Federation and home schoolers? That is about the only way they could get such a small number.

My son served in Portland with Federal Protective Service and could note there were at least “11 domestic violent extremism incidents” involving ANTIFA in a month.

[kearnyirish2]

They describe a majority of the 11:

“A majority of the 2020 incidents were associated with the near nightly protests and riots in Portland, including the night a Donald Trump supporter was shot and killed by a counter-protester.”

Home-schooling isn’t as cut-and-dry as firearms issues; many leftists support it (probably more out west than here in the east).

[aimhigh]

Not surprised. Oregon is the least churched.

[logi_cal869]

Right?? I’m aware, also in OR.

[goodnesswins]

I live there, too....it’s messy...but lots more sane people than the elites think...like someone here posted...beware the people who “want to be left alone”....

[Retain Mike]

Yes. From downwind I can smell their pot fields.
