Retired Special Forces guys could have an opportunity keeping in shape by herding these masked, feral animals.

I want to know who the provocative black guy with no shirt was. Seems like a planted instigator.

Sure they did.

They got to make it look like Rightwingers caused the problem.

When Antifa was doing this unopposed, there was no problem at all.

Why don’t the bozos ever refer to Aunt Teefah as being an extreme left, domestic terrorist group? All we ever get is “far right” groups.

If we had the same maggot scum in the “media” back during WWII that we have today, headlines would have read, “Far right invades Normandy”.

What is illegal about wearing body armor and having a shield?

You will cause additional expense to the Police, by making them use extra bullets, and perhaps breaking their batons.

Unfortunately I agree. Notice how obscure the reporting is...”people arrested” and “weapons taken” etc. - but they’re not specific, from which side? They imply by omission that it is both sides, when we know that probably isn’t the case.

I also note the declaration of the “far-right” - i.e. normal people. I’m tired of this. Same in EU, the media just keep repeating “far-right far-right far-right”, while their women are raped by immigrants. There’s nothing far-right about it, it’s only just right.

Our side needs to get its shit together &start going to the dojoto learn arm bars/wrist locks/sweeps. These things can’t be taken from you in a police shake down.

Nope. They’re attacking people across downtown Portland while police are retreating. AFTER the conservative group left.

another Wash. Examiner “squish” piece of reporting that covers up the real identities of Antifa. They are a combined Marxist/Anarchist terrorist group, or in the alternative a “far left organization”. The writer called the other protestors “right wing” so why not Antifa as “the Left Wing”?

If you are going to write a story, at least you could learn something about the actors in it instead of using the Left’s terminology which covers up their Marxism.
