Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti backed violent demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday, referring to mobs that have attacked a federal courthouse as “the best of our democratic ideals” and slamming federal law enforcement’s response.

Portland has been the scene of nightly violent riots for weeks. Black Lives Matter “protesters” have pelted officers with bottles, rocks, and bricks. The “protests” have included Black Lives Matter activists and members of the militant Antifa group

Garcetti is the biggest POS mayor in the country. He makes my skin crawl when he speaks on TV.

I guess being a pinhead is a prerequisite for a political career in blue states.

L.A. Mayor Garcetti has just publicly stated that anyone is invited to go to his house, light it on fire, and pelt him with rocks and bottles.

Would 10,000 California Patriots please surround his mansion menacingly? Will see if he is okay with that.

SERIOUSLY. This needs to start happening.

The best Democrats have to offer: Property damage, arson, assault and battery, theft.

He backs them, does he?

Will he back them enough to take being ATTACKED by them as was the Portland mayor? How about if they come to his home and paint a few nice “murals”?

Would he be OK with that, too?

It’s domestic terrorism. Time to call a spade a spade.

He needs a visit from “mostly peaceful” rioters.

So the commies represent “the best of our democratic ideals” in the eyes of Eric Garcetti. I wonder if he was thinking the same thing when these Democrat “idealists” from BLM and Antifa were burning and looting the Fairfax District and part of Beverly Hills last month?

Sounds like he’s all for it, so long as it’s happening “over there” and not on his turf.

D**kheads like Garcetti show why there is no room for reconciliation.

Either he’s never seen the videos or he’s one of them himself.

I vote for #2.

Saw on another thread the LA police shut down a BLM protest in Beverly Hills. I guess it is OK for Portland but not the nice areas of his city.

If I were young and stupid, I might consider dressing in black, wearing a black facemask, carry a butt-load of spray paint, and tag the houses of these geniuses. Every night. For weeks.

Ya Garcetti, but I just read that you shut down the “protestors” in your own backyard last night in Beverly Hills. What’s up with that?

The rock throwers cannot be appeased, they are not capable of being happy or satisfied. These wimpy, creepy mayors are playing with fire. In time the mob will become more angry and dissatisfied and will turn on the mayors and governors.

Garcetti is hoping the mob will spare him. The mob has no brains and quickly forgets who yesterday’s appeasers are.
