Wheeler, a Democrat, said acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf reached out to his office to offer assistance in quelling the demonstrations. Wheeler responded that his “biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days, and the life-threatening tactics [Department of Homeland Security] agents use.”

"We do not need or want their help," he added.

Anti-capitalist and anti-fascist teenagers known as the Northwest Youth Liberation Front are reportedly the main organizers of the violence that has gripped the city for over a month. The group hopes to achieve a political revolution.

“We are a bunch of teenagers armed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and yerba mate — we can take a 5 a.m. raid and be back on our feet a few hours later,” the group wrote on June 18.

These little antifa fags seem to be really trying to push for a deadly confrontation. Setting up camp across from the feds in Portland isn't by random chance.

What about the decent working citizens who are having their lives and property ruined? They pay your salary. Did you think about them?

Wheeler is a POS.

Portland's mayor has spoken. The people of Portland elected this guy, I assume they approve and want the lawlessness they have. It's not a concern for the rest of us - screw 'em.

Didn't like the tactics, huh? Maybe he means that the feds should have used a howitzer instead of those puny less-than-lethal munitions.

I'll bring the popcorn.

Good, make it clear help is offered all the time and Dems prefer destruction and loss of life.

Why are hostile left-wing groups allowed to set up camps in American cities?

What is wrong with people?

Go there and bust'em up!

If necessary, bust the heads of the local government enablers too.

Other hate-groups aren't allowed to even gather.

Why these?

It’s high time for the feds to take action. Arrest this idiot mayor and bring all of this to a close before more innocent lives are lost.

Why do we not hear from everyday people that live in Portland? Did they all leave? Being silenced?
