Democrats Claim Stopping Two Months Of Portland Rioting Is An ‘Attack On Democracy’

Leftist gaslighting over the deployment of federal agents to address months of nightly riots in the city of Portland, Oregon has reached epic proportions. The New York Times published an article on Friday entitled “Federal Agents Unleash Militarized Crackdown on Portland.” It begins:

Federal agents dressed in camouflage and tactical gear have taken to the streets of Portland, unleashing tear gas, bloodying protesters and pulling some people into unmarked vans in what Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon has called ‘a blatant abuse of power.’

The extraordinary use of federal force in recent days, billed as an attempt to tamp down persistent unrest and protect government property, has infuriated local leaders who say the agents have stoked tensions. ‘This is an attack on our democracy,’ Mayor Ted Wheeler of Portland said.

Democrats’ claims of “unmarked jackbooted stormtrooper thugs randomly rounding up people” stem from the following incident.

We are no longer a Republic. We are a democracy. Mob rule.

Not even a democracy. That crowd of thugs is not 51% ruling over 49%. They are just 1% or less ruling their region through violence.

Trump is doing the right thing. If he didn’t do anything, they would condemn him for that.

The people and governments of portland, seattle, NYC and minneapolis are completely responsible for whatever happens there.

"The anarchists have assaulted law enforcement officers with rocks, bottles, hammers, tasers, and stun guns. They “launched fireworks, threw fecal matter and large objects, and pointed lasers at federal law enforcement officers.”

These are all actions that would and should be met with deadly force.

Except the poop but I'd shoot on general principles for that.

“unmarked jackbooted stormtrooper thugs randomly rounding up people”

Their uniforms were in a lot better order than the young jack-booted black-clad thugs running around setting things on fire. I could tell who the feds were quite easily.

Disagree, Trump should not send Federal officers to stop the riots. Send Federal officers only to protect Federal property. Don't extend it to the remainder of the city. Make clear to the Demonrat mayor, governor, congress critters, that responsibility for the rest of the city is theirs.

It used to be that states were concerned about losing federal dollars. What happened? Federal clout doesn’t go too far these days I suppose?

Believe it or not, the last trial for treason in the U.S. was in 1862. A man pulled down the American flag at the New Orleans mint. He was tried by a military tribunal and hanged for it.

Why aren’t we hearing from actual tax paying citizens of Portland?

Are they happy with the riots? Are they content to have their taxes skyrocket?

These “protests” are just theater. The mayors, the police, just sitting on their hands while they burn and loot parts of the city. If normals do that, they’re immediately arrested. It’s bullshit.

Here’s something they’re sure to understand:
Not One Damned Dime comes from the Federal Government to restore your self inflicted damage to your area. Money talks.
