The resource-strapped Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reportedly took more than 20 minutes to respond when alleged antifa members assaulted a Saturday campaign event near police headquarters in downtown Portland.

By the time officers had "sufficient resources" to establish a crime scene near Southwest 3rd and Main Street, the black-clad demonstrators had already dispersed after hurling smoke grenades, paint-filled balloons and fireworks, according to police. Two were injured by "mortars," police said.

The protesters' violence cut short the event in support of Republican gubernatorial candidate Stan Pulliam, whose platform includes refunding the police.

Republicans, if you’re going to rally in a bright blue area, bring along a Militia!

I have been to the “Left Coast,” many times. Military Training, Work, vacations, visiting family, etc. California, Oregon, and Washington are off my visit list, permanently.
Why spend time and money in places that just suck?
Well, the two kids that lived in CA are on the East coast now so I won’t be visiting Santa Barbara or Alameda, ever again.
The last visit to Seattle was a disaster and I choose to not go their again. Portland is a shithole and deserves the name.
I Antifa chooses to visit my area, there will be serious problems. We don’t allow burning and looting and most of my friends, and I, are armed and dangerous militia wannabees!

I think you accurately enumerated the circumstances involved. Exhibit A for what the fall of a society looks like.

Why spend time and money in a place infected with reckless hate where they don't just dislike but outright detest people like you and would want to attack or even kill you if they could. Crazy that such places like that would even exist in 21st century America but there it is.

Blame 1) marxist Soros, 2) Soros-funded anti-American marxist DAs, and 3) marxist National Lawyer’s Guild.
