Antifa Punks Deface Oregon War Memorial in Violent Protest

The city of Portland, Oregon, has been taken over by the scum of the Earth and the mayor and city police have allowed it to happen.

The masked group of thugs who call themselves “antifa,” which is supposedly short for “anti-fascist” though their actions are as fascist as they come, was at it again on Saturday in another violent protest in the city.

Three demonstrators were arrested in the fracas, but judging by the videos shared on social media, a lot more arrests should have been made. More suspects are being sought in the defacing of a war memorial where graffiti with obscenities and reading “Punch Cops,” “All Cops are Bastards” and “Kill Cops” was spray painted. (See a video clip of the desecration here, but warning, there’s strong language.)

Apparently, the antifa protesters went to the city’s Lownsdale Square park to counter a march by the Ku Klux Klan that never happened, Oregon Live reported.

It looks to be a memorial to WWI from the brief view in the video. Those that served then and in WWII went for flag, country and what they thought to be a noble cause. No one fo any belief, political or other, should disrespect those fallen soldiers or their memorial.

All of the antifa dirtbags are so brave that they wear hard helmets and face covers and carry mace and brass knuckles and bike locks etc.

If they showed up at an old TEA party rally, they would have been confronted by many open carrying patriots, they would have evaporated.

The irony of defacing a memorial to men who died fighting actual not imagined fascism by people who call themselves anti fascists

Supposed “Anti-Fascists” deface memorial to men who actually fought and killed Fascists.

These punks can’t get their comeuppance fast enough.

Right or wrong, the shootings at Kent State put an end to a lot of bulshit back then.

I was in Portland last week. I didn’t encounter any of these goons, but what I did see was a the utter failure of progressivism on full display: homeless encampments everywhere, trash and filth everywhere, barely functioning public transit, and cannabis shops next to vacant store-fronts.

The plinth has a dedication to 2nd Oregon Volunteer Infantry, that would probably mean it is a Spanish American War/Phil Insurrection unit being commemorated.

Sounds like the Police Chief and Mayor have received Soros dollars and orders. If they want their city destroyed, they should actually move to another country, where they can live the sosos life.

Antifa punks aren’t worthy to shine a combat veteran’s shoes.

Anti-FA = Anti-Free Americans or Anti-Free America

Those ill-educated morons don’t know the difference between WWI and the Civil War. And, I doubt that they know much else, either.
