Competing rallies between supporters of Black lives and pro-police, pro-Trump crowds raised tensions across Oregon Saturday. A person was shot in downtown Portland during a pro-Trump caravan through the city Saturday night, according to multiple reports from journalists on social media.

Videos of the scene from Southwest 3rd Avenue and Alder Street show medics attending to a victim on the ground. No further details were immediately available.

Dems are really pushing for these riots and deaths to continue...Kamala Harris said two days ago..."The people are taking to the streets. And I support them.".... Pelosi too has said as much....They soooo want full blown civil war before the election....and the media's in lock step promoting it. We really need to hold back and not give them what they want.

I understand quite well how civil wars work I stood boots down in the Sarajevo area in 1998 and again in 1999. I have seen how civil conflict plays out in all its genocidal glory. We are witnessing the beginnings of a communist revolution their troops are already in the streets, and they have zero moral hang ups about burning things down nor shooting their enemies. They are organized and funded at levels which make them not only a very credible threat they also qualify as enemy combatants. They have ranks, organization up to at least the company level, medics, supply lines, and secure comms. Make no mistake anyone who has seen a civl war up close and personal knows exactly what we are seeing. Don’t think that if the cops magically turned sides these people would back down. These are revolutionary types sure some are LARP soyboys but the core of these groups is every bit as dangerous as any guerilla warfare fighter in any of our battlefields in the world.

Exactly. One doesn't need to be a historian to see the parallels between what the left is trying to do today with this insurrection, and what was done in the Russian Communist Revolution, in the rise of Nazi Germany, in Venezuela, in Cuba, in Mao's China. It's the same exact playbook.

It seems to me that we're near the point where it'll come down to major street battles if these little skirmishes aren't extinguished immediately. We are dangerously close to having a lot of Kyles moving out into the streets to take matters into their own hands, since the local law enforcement have been ordered to stand down by commie local "leadership".

The left wants to trap Trump into using federal assets in these areas, thinking that doing so will make Trump look bad. But as things heat up, a quick sweep by a platoon of marines will soon make the President look very good in the face of these revolutionary acts.

Personally, I wouldn't feel all that terrible if a few of the "leaders" and revolutionary political allies were to commit "suicide" in the near future.

But who are on each side? I think you and I both know, but it helps to enunciate it.

We are not in a civil war. People who say that don’t understand how civil wars work. We are experiencing—in isolated locations—local insurrections. There is no defined cause. There is no organization. An there is no leadership. There might be some mysterious leadership from somewhere—but there is no single person rallying the opposition.

To the contrary - we are in the beginnings of a civil war. Isolated for now, but growing fast.

And this IS organized and it IS coordinated. The leadership is not mysterious if you open your eyes. It's most of the democrat party, the media, academia, some foreign entities, Obama's gang - all organized to support the destruction of our Constitutional Republic. They are our very own ISIS, the commie caliphate if you will.

So, there will be an Obama led “insurgency?”

As Joe says, “Come on man...”

You are focused on events, limited to a few square miles in a country of 3.7 million square miles. You are focused on events of maybe hundreds of people, in a country of 330 million.

I think you might want to consider the scale and true impact of these riots.

Sure, they piss me off too. Sure, I don’t agree with them.

But a civil war? Not even close.

OK, I've got some sleep and some coffee and lunch in me.

I overreacted in the heat of the moment. Every so often my anti-Troll CIWS goes into "consider everything including random air molecules to be a troll" mode.

That being said; consider the following Tweet and its source, please:

Remember, @CNN & nearly all of the MSM has spent months defending antifa.

"We got them right here. We got a couple right here."

"Pull it out!"

"Right here?"

Remember: if Donald Trump Jr. knows, then the President knows too.

Ignore them at your own risk.

I am prepared. But unlike my great grandfathers, I have no motivation to walk a thousand miles to take up arms against this enemy. Good luck finding them.

Same guy. first left the board when the car came then went back and picked it up. the glack and white guy looks at some point to time his walk with the skateboard buy

[kvanbrunt2]

I was wondering if this charger was actually in another video being attacked and then speeds away. It goes in a certain direction into the crowd. i’m going to see if there is any location similarity as it was going fast when it got to the guy.

I will probably be walking with Franklin Graham’s group of peaceful prayer marchers in DC in a little over 3 weeks.

This is a serious call to prayer...no politicians, no speeches.....PRAYER

Any thoughts?

[mass55th]

I was wondering if the mace was sprayed to camouflage the shooting, and disguise the shooter in case there were other cameras in the area.

[mass55th]

Reports say he was shot in the chest.

[Syncro]

BTTT backatcha!

[Syncro]

...with Franklin Graham’s group of peaceful prayer marchers in DC ...

Great, should be a good message to the country and the world.

Be safe my friend,
