Who would even consider living in the cesspool that Portland has become? Anyone who can should get out. There’s no future there.

The rioters are trying to trigger a Kent State-type response. That’s the whole objective.

The cops are the last wall of defense from We the People.

No serious felony charges? Did they get the actual throwers or just leftist asshole “cannonfodder”?

....The antifa and BLM know the home addresses of police officers....

This is unacceptable. Threatening and intimidating innocent families and the officers is beyond even the subcivilized Dems’ to condone.

Insurrection is a federal offense:
18; Section 2383. “The law prohibits the incitement, assistance, and participation in a rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States and its laws. The punishment for this crime is a fine, a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison, and ineligibility for public office.”
https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/rebellion-or-insurrection.html#:~:text=Section%202383.,

The ignorant and stupid Maxine Waters accidentally admitted——
(Floyd’s death) … that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. So yes, I said ‘insurrection’: People acting out of frustration and hopelessness and understanding that they don’t have an establishment — political or otherwise — that really cared about their ability to work or have good health care. Yes, I choose to call it an insurrection.”(June 4, 2020).

Agree.

They want to provoke Trump to send in the troops which is why it's prudent he doesn't.

The best thing for Trump to do is to Tweet and comment on these events in each city and point out they're ongoing and local 'leaders' aren't doing anything to stop them. Make it front and center of his Tweets and point out how the media isn't covering this news.

Make it clear he's willing to help but ONLY if they ask for his help. They won't so the mayors are stuck with ongoing 'protests'.

If I weren’t busy at my business and unemployed, I’d be going to Portland to do some plinking with my .22. Subsonic, heavy grain, suppressed.

And I wouldn’t be shooting at knees, only face shields of those obviously using radios or with antennas. Old habits die hard.

We know what is happenig in NY re moving companies. I have not heard about the situation in Portland.My SIL and her hubby live in SE Portland ans they swear everything is fine. I have to believe that soon the mob will descend on their neighborhood, so we will see what they think then.

The cops need devices that shoot bottles and rocks. Any rioters who throw bottles or rocks will get the same items shot back at them.

As long as it's local cops that's fine with me. That's who should be dealing with this problem.

If the mayors can't stop these 'protests' let them publicly ask Trump to send in the troops.

Let it get so bad they beg Trump for help. Until then let them destroy their own cities.

Take lots of pictures and video.

I know its hard for some people to move but better to get out than sit around watching things deteriorate in my view.

I left two neighborhoods in the early stages of decline and never regretted it. In fact, both moves worked out very well from a lifestyle and financial perspective.
