‘Everyone Will Be Subject To Arrest’ — Portland Protest Turns Into Riot

A left-wing May Day protest in Portland, Oregon devolved into a riot on Monday, as law enforcement struggled to maintain order.

Portland, a known leftist hotbed, has struggled to contain explosive anti-Trump protests. The mayor admitted in February that the “culture of protest” will be the norm in Portland for the “foreseeable future.”

Left wing mayday protest? Left wing? Really? The mare says the "culture of protest"(?) will be the norm for a while. Uh, not if you choose to put a stop to it and actually prosecute these punk assclowns to the fullest extent. But you won't. You want to remain "edgy". As far as "struggling" to contain.............. Not so much.

All protests will turn into riots now that the Democrats have declared war on the police.

Any mayor who announces that he or she is unwilling or unable to enforce order deserves to be bounced out on his or her ear.

Maybe the goal is NOT to enforce order ...

The antifa rules downtown Portland and has for sometime. This is tacitly approved by the city and state government.

In the news was the starting point for this episode was,
“Shemanski Park”.
Sounds like the park was named for a Russian/ Polish Transgender? ;^}
Humor is where you find it.

My question would be, do they actually want law and order, or they only interested in protecting their fellow travelers? From what I have seen, their interest in keeping law an order begins when their fellow travelers end up on the short end of the ass whupping stick. As long as it was elderly and disabled Trump supporters and Trump supporting ladies that were being pepper sprayed And Trump supporters that were getting hit in the head with bicycle locks, they are perfectly content to remain on the sidelines.

“Foreseeable future” is an oxymoron.

A little jail time, having an arrest record on any future employment background check, that should set these folks up nicely for their future mediocre lives

The very first time this crap started after Trumps election there should have been hundreds of fractures, bleeding and arrests.

The Mayor of Portland, Oregon is a morally bankrupt coward to not put a stop to the childish behavior of the Left.

Portland’s current tv ad pushing Portland as a wonderful vacation spot skipped over the left wing riots:

The cutesy ad left out getting tear gassed and harmed by the left wingers in Portland!

You may be on to something. What is the saying,”Out of chaos, order? Allow chaos to reach a certain point and the people will demand that order be restored, and will not care how it is done. Hitler, and the National socialists Worker's Party, did that. They had their goons go out and fight the communists, and other German political groups in the streets. They caused chaos, havoc, and mayhem. And when Hitler cracked down forcefully on the communists, and other German Political Parties, the people supported him.

The authorities didn’t word their statement correctly.

It should say, “Everyone who commits an offense will be arrested and prosecuted, period.

This crap will only stop when that happens enough.
