Federal officers in Portland may have been permanently blinded by lasers, officials say

At least three federal officers in Portland may not recover their vision after earlier this week demonstrators, who have shown up in crowds of over 1,000 for more than 50 consecutive nights, shined lasers in their eyes and threw fireworks at a federal courthouse, officials said.

During Monday night's confrontation, one person also threatened to cut off the water supply to federal officers inside the building.

Federal Protective Service (FPS) Deputy Director of Operations Richard “Kriss” Cline said at a press conference on Tuesday that a crowd of more than 1,000 “rioters” surrounded the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and began removing plywood coverings before attempting to throw objects – some of them incendiary – through the windows at federal officers inside.

I see your point.

These destroyers of civilization get a pass. A bill is due.

POTUS has a case for closing federal government operations in the state of Oregon now.

Shut down the EPA. That will make the little green bastards scream.

"I’m not sure I see us voting our way out of this."

When do we go from BALLOTS to BULLETS?

I hope FReepers are seriously thinking about where they plan to be during the week of November 3rd. These riots are merely DRESS REHEARSALS for November... PLAN ACCORDINGLY!

I have to put some of the blame on Trump for NOT ARRESTING GEORGE SOROS, HIS TWO SONS, AND SEIZING/FREEZING ALL OF THEIR ASSETS THUS CRIPPLING THEIR MANY CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS.

Yesterday, I told my Democrat next-door neighbor and friend who likes to talk politics that this one isn’t going to be settled by voting.

The ones who are being grabbed in Portland are the seditious conspirators, which is why the mayor, the governor and Pelosi are excreting bricks over it.

Excellent idea. I looked up the oath of office for state of Washington, and it says, I — swear to uphold the Constitution of the United states, the laws of the state of Washington and to faithfully discharge the duties of this office to the best of my ability. Has to be signed, notarized and duly filed on record. Fair to assume similar oath in every state.

Even if without the feds, these do-nothing mayors and governors could also be sued by all who lost property, were injured or lost family members, for damages, on that basis. And no taxpayers should cover these damages.

I disagree. Wall Portland off and let them rot. Blockade all entrances and exits.

“I’m not sure I see us voting our way out of this.”

The feds need to start by arresting the state officials who are abrogating their oaths and aiding and abetting the unlawful rioters.

If there's no remedy there, those same mayors and governors can be charged with federal crimes from immigration law, specifically; knowingly harboring illegal aliens....complete with some very harsh penalties.

Take em out Mr President.

I’m reminded of the Japanese in WWII. They wouldn’t surrender until they were thoroughly thrashed and their mindset shattered.

I was reading about this on Wikipedia just this morning, wondering how many Jap POWs were captured and how many surrendered.

I've seen photos of Jap POWs that were captured, they were sailors treading water after a sinking. The only photos of *surrendering* Japs I can recall were soldiers confronted with flamethrowers.

Apparently, flames dampen zeal and fanaticism like nothing else.

You want a targeted response.

Actually an intermediate step might be to site in on them with a red dot. Maybe when they see a red dot on their chest they will get the message.

“Mostly peaceful protesting” if the New York Times and others report on this.
