The Rose Quarter of Portland has always been the home of ANTIFA in the US. “Trendy” gastropubs and organic co-ops, but one of the best bookstores on the west coast.

Now it looks like some sort of unwashed post apocalyptic movie set full of Goth dressing unwashed drugged out losers.

There comes a time when we have to stop being terrorized by our past. These riots are nothing like Kent State. Letting this fester for so long guarantees stopping it will mean blood spilled in the streets of America.

Thank you.

Have to stay a step ahead these days.

I noticed the news stories that once dared to list a few of Floyd’s specific past arrests were made to disappear a few weeks ago. Soon he will have only the ones qualifying him for sainthood. Even Mother Theresa of Calcutta had to wait a little.

Great point! The percentage of today’s voters who remember Kent State are essentially zero. And those of us that do aren’t “undecided “ voters.

The simple solution is for the police to be diagnosed with Covid-19 and have to quarantined for 14 days. Let the Antifa-Profag group burn down the mayors house and the houses of every member of the city council in those 14 days. Also let real patriots come to the defense of the city and put down the riots with force. To paraphase Chairman Mao: Peace come through the barrels of guns.

Leftists are such pathetic losers. They are more entertaining than a barrel of monkeys. LOL. More popcorn!!! Apparently, the majority of voting public out there prefer this type of loser “leadership”. Idiots.

Let Portland rot. The citizens voted for the mayor, city council and this DA - they apparently want what they have. Let Antifa burn it all to the ground. Screw ‘em.

These riots are nothing like Kent State.

*************

That was not my point; I wasn’t equating Portland to that event. What I am saying is that the radical organizers want the police to shoot the rioters to ignite a massive propaganda campaign, generate sympathy and to justify more aggression and violence. Its that “moment” they desperately want to leverage. A couple of pictures of wounded or killed “protestors” will give them the catalyst they are looking for.

No, but it means they can shoot you and get off Scott free.

the DA may not matter when it comes to felonies. The Feds are claiming jurisdiction:

Things that happened last night the DA doesn’t want to prosecute. Maybe he will prosecute the trannie arsonist and a parole violator rapist arrested last night?:

molotov cocktail, glass bottles thrown in the street and over the courthouse fence, eggs and commercial fireworks launched at the federal courthouse last night. Along with a fire on the street (in which a few flags are burned) brought out the PPD

a bucket of rotten raw chicken is thrown at the employee door just before shift change (the employees had to walk thru this stink):

after the police clean the chicken parts up, antifa tries to set fire to the employee door:

yet again, a ‘support’ vehicle places itself between police and protestors, in motion and shielding the protestors, with the usual result - popped tires. These guys are real slow learners:

it was complained that police ‘used bear spray I found a can and it’s going to the lawyer!’. Here’s the bear spray - used by a protestor - at 13 seconds in, to the left, orange can:

But lift a finger to protect life and property and BAM! They will come down on you like a ton of bricks.

Selective enforcement of the law is tyranny.

Question: What is the difference between a box car full of bowling balls ad aa box car full of babies.

Leftist Answer: Duh, ya can’t offload the box car full of bowling ball wiht a pitchfork.
