And likely it was Antifa who were the violent aggressors. INGSOC media needs to have this sort of narrative though.

Antifa is fighting for the revolution to guarantee slavery for all but the Master Race of the elites.

That is why the mass media carries water for them.

Exactly how it goes.

The rightwingers also get arrested because they stick around to surrender to the cops while the AntiFa runs away and ditches the evidence of their involvement.

Yahoo “news” puts the blame on the good guys.
“rightwing protest”
“antifascist demonstrators returned fire at a man”

According to yahoo, the fascists are totally innocent.

AntiFa is sent by the local government to squash any signs of rebellion. That’s why the police aren’t there.

I’m disappointed in the proud boys ..they need to enlist thousands not hundreds.
5,000 sounds about right.

Antifa is in direct communication with the Portland police throughout these “clashes”. If they find that they have been lured into a creative ambush, they immedeatly call the Portland police to save them. If the identities, addresses, occupations and employers of the Antifa thugs were clearly identified, it would be noted that elected public officials, government employees, teachers, university instructors, and other taxpayer supported NGO creeps fill their ranks.

Antifa is just a theory.

Yeah, right.

I live halfway between Portland and Seattle on the Soviet of Washington coast. Seattle has been dealing with these thugs since the 1999 WTO riots. Remember that affair? Theory my ample ass.

Now Portland seems to have the largest group of antifa theorists. It doesn’t really matter because it’s only a 3 hour drive between the 2 communist cities.

Soon one of two things is going to happen, the Feds are going to take control of Portland Police via a Federal Consent Decree like they have done with Seattle. Not that that will do much, Seattle PD has been functioning under the Feds authority since Obama and it didn’t do much good during The Summer of Love last year.

EXCEPT when President Trump told the lipstick lesbian mayor of Seattle to shut down CHOP/CHAZ or he will send in the US Marshals.

OR and this is what I think is really going to happen. The situation will evolve into total chaos. There’s going to be all sorts of disparate factions move into Portland. They will all be at war with each other and the police have a choice to make.

Continue tacitly supporting antifa or suffer the consequences when the fan blades start spinning looking for $hit to hit. Their choice.

Antifa is the latest incarnation of the Democrat Party/progressive rent a mob. Been around for a hundred years or more.

AntiFa will be allowed to exist so long as they can be used by the government as a de facto police force. Police can’t go to anti-government protests and just bust heads but AntiFa can. If the blacks get to uppity and complain about the government, AntiFa is allowed to correct that.

It was written by Antifa. I watched it Live on PTNews.com. This story is nothing but lies from beginning to end. BTW the PB’s were shooting paint balls. Yeah, one fired off a shot, but he was surrounded by the cockroaches.

Modern guerilla warfare. We're doing it wrong.

This is the photo that accompanied an article he wrote for the UK Guardian.
