As the videos from last weekend’s protest in Portland have gone viral, namely due to the dereliction of duty on the part of the Portland police allowing the violent leftist mob to take over the city, one particular video has caught the attention of police and Multnomah County district attorney Rod Underhill.
The video in question shows a man in a silver car getting caught up in the protest. Apparently fearing for his safety, the man starts to drive through the protest. One genius decides he’s going to jump in front of the car and try to stop it, as other members of the mob converge on the car, shouting obscenities at the driver and beating on his car. The driver eventually made it through, but stopped at the red light up the block. There, the protesters chased him down, smashed a window out in his car, and started threatening him. Now police are encouraging the protesters to come forward as “victims” so they can charge the driver of the car with crimes. The police refer to the violent thugs as “pedestrians.” Far left Willamette Week hack reporter Katie Sheppard writes:
Police Ask Pedestrians To Come Forward After Driver Slowly Pushes Through a Small Crowd of Protesters

“Portland: where NOT to live or visit.”
Portland makes every other West Cost City look sane. For Berkeley, CA to get worse than it is, it would need to take lessons from Portland. And the end of the day, the sane parts of the country are going to have to erect walls around all our major cities in order to live peaceful lives.
And now that I think of it, it’s pretty interesting from a game theory point of view. The police are probably getting political pressure to arrest the driver, so they say “OK we’ll arrest him as soon as we get some statements from witnesses and victims”.
From the video it would appear that any witnesses are also perpetrators, so they’re not going to risk revealing their identities. Case closed.
They should just replaced the Portland Police force with antifa activists. After all, cops are fascists and guns are evil. So why not have anti-fascists armed with batons and tire irons to protect the citizens against “hate”?
“Portland. A future sh*thole.”
No! Portland is at the top of the list of $hithole cities!
Remember Oregon once had signs about “thanh you for visiting but please don’t move here”?
Well, no problem..
Click bait with no video,
I can remember when the police were on our side.
Blue city police — Democrat Enforcers
Things the driver’s lawyer needs to say:
The big guy at the intersection was threatening to beat my client.
My client feared that he might be beaten or killed if he went in the direction the big guy, who was threatening to beat him, told him to go, so he went straight instead.
When the other guy stepped in front of my client’s car, to stop him, he thought the big guy at the intersection, who was threatening to beat him, was going to catch up with him, so he had to continue, because he feared he would be beaten or killed.
He had the right to stomp on the accelerator and get the hell out of there. If some of the attackers were flattened that would have been 100% justified.
Portland sounds like a Hillary Clinton paradise.
Point of order:
What color was “the big guy”
Right. These were emergency actions during a riot.
The Left Coast has been encouraging pedestrians to block traffic since the 80s with stupid laws. It’s their mess.
But comparing this with Grim for a moment.
And being very serious.
Remember when a bunch of quasi-zombies blocked Monroe at the dockyard storage facility? He had to plow through the crowd. It was a moral dilemna. And there was only one logical thing to do.
You ask “What color was the big guy?”...hahaha...this is Portland, OREGON!!! One of the whitest places in America.
I’ll bet when one of those cops get whacked by these freaks in Portland, they are going to expect us to boo hoo for them.
They better think again.
We support LAW ENFORCEMENT. if you ain’t doing that, then you are working some other profession.
“Always count on the police to come down on the side of the fascists, never on the side of those trying to secure their freedom. Has it ever been any other way?”
Cops are just the street-muscle for their filthy democrat politician masters. No morals, no soul...just following orders.
My my, anarchy has now been given the police seal of approval?? Trump needs to speak out. This isn’t the type of law enforcement we can support.
Fat whities from Portland are also very concerned about anybody else blocking the intersection. Only fat whities from Portland are allowed to do that.
