You know how you handle it? You let Portland handle it. When the feds do this kind of stuff, they turn the discussion/argument from the actions of the antifa idiots to feds engaging in banana republic behavior, and it gives the antifa idiots something to focus on and rally around.

You can keep the federal facilities intact, you can hang tight around there with clearly marked security, not generic "police" badges, and you stick close to those facilities.

But let antifa run wild everywhere else, and then you will see businesses and citizens who tire of it quickly, and antifa will be their target, and they will make it clear to the people in charge that either they get rid of antifa, or they face losing every election coming up.

Even if the mayor wants to sympathize with the antifa creeps, at the end of the day, they are just another politician who wants to hold onto power, and the businesses and citizens can take that power away in the next election.

All this crap the feds are doing is (ironically) getting people used to a unmarked federal presence, and it's presenting a rallying point for the anarchists or whatever the hell they are.

When you are parroting the talking points of Nancy Pelousi and the Portland 'Rat Mayor, you need to reassess your thinking...
