'Let’s make them hurt a little bit. . . . I’m also asking for your help to make a stand and take our city back.'
Antifa made the Portland Mayor flee his home and they sucker punched him in the face. But in response he did nothing.
Even in the final days of the Trump administration, Ted Wheeler was an indirect Antifa advocate. He was publicly offended at comparisons being drawn between the Far Left group and the January 6th Capitol Riots. Last year after the death of George Floyd, Antifa spent the summer sieging the Portland courthouse.
Pushover Wheeler has let Antifa riot in the city regularly, but now he’s taking it no more.
The Punished Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler put out a video announcement that’s essentially a call to action for the general public. “Let’s make them hurt a little bit,” Wheeler says.
“I’ve extended the state of emergency through the weekend. Our job is to unmask them, arrest them, and prosecute them. I want to personally thank neighbors, family, friends and others who have come forward with vital evidence. People know who these criminals are. They know what they’re up to. If you have any information, please contact the police. Acting Chief Davis will provide specifics shortly.
I also want you to know that these people often arrive at their so-called direct actions, in cars. And they’re all dressed in all black. If you see this, call the police. If you can provide a license plate, if you can do so safely, that information can help later.
Together we can make a stand. We’re doing what we can today. I’m also asking for your help to make a stand and take our city back.”
It’s such a direct and confrontational message that the Portland Mayor is putting out. Rioting has been at the forefront of concern in the aftermath of the Derek Chauvin trial.
In the last week alone, Antifa burned an Apple Store to the ground. Most recently during riots, after the state of emergency was declared, one of Antifa’s people got physical with police officers.
I wouldn't be surprised if the group leaders conducting the troop movements on the ground are FBI_CIA.The government wants to disarm us after 244 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!I would be astonished if they aren't.
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
That was my first thought. Looked for the Bee
Have their “peaceful protests” finally caught your attention? When I see the PPD get serious about the riots, I will believe this article.
I doubt there are 200,000 men in Portland. And if there were, their gives wouldn’t let them go.
Neither would their takes...
Too little, too late.
It should be interesting to see how effective this is.
I wonder what pushed him into changing his mind.
Someone must have had a *talk* with him or something.
What cop would do that & face charges???
So the alligator in Ted’s bathtub final grew big enough to scare poor Ted. Can’t flush antifa down the toilet Ted.
I was involved in citizen militias in the 1990's.
In examining behavior, in retrospect, it is clear that our leader was FBI. Older, but still FBI.
ROI = Return on Investment?
Or do you mean ROE (= "Rules of Engagement")?
Regards,
I keep sayin’, pick the leaders off with suppressed .22’s.
You don’t even need a can on a 22LR rifle firing subsonics.
Antifa doesn’t exist. All of the late-night comics say so, thus Millennials and Gen Z-ers believe it. I don’t know what Ted is talking about. /s
What? A sign of sanity? In Portland??
bttt
Haven't gotten around to experimenting with the Aguila subsonic loads though...
OTOH the .22wmr is a different ball game for rimfire bolt guns. I really like my Marlin, but it's loud. I've never shot a coyote with it but I would if it's getting in my chicken coop...
It’s the Marxists that want to recall him for not being sufficiently leftist.
Sounds like all out war.
