US government to PAY Portland Antifa, BLM rioters of 2020 over 'injuries', non-lethal force
The Post Millennial ^ | 01/26/25 | Hayden Cunningham

A lawsuit filed on behalf of protesters during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots in Portland has resulted in a settlement agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Oregon. The settlement includes financial compensation to individuals who claimed they were harmed by the actions of federal law enforcement deployed during the unrest.

The lawsuit alleged that federal agents, sent to Portland by the Trump administration, had “beaten, shot, and abducted” protesters, journalists, and medics. It argued that the force used by law enforcement violated the constitutional rights of individuals to peacefully protest.

Why are they using my tax dollars to pay these retarded, commie SOBs. Don’t the Feds have any lawyers that can beat these ACLU AZHOS IN COURT?

This is a known scam how attorneys ‘pay’ protesters. There’s a video on YouTube that describes the whole industry (don’t have link). Hopefully the CIC will put an end to this

Along with the Judges.

Losing court cases to legal firms representing the left and enviro organizations, women’s groups etc. has been a way that the democrats in government have transferred billions of tax dollars to the left’s structure, and it seems to take place all the way down to city governments casually losing lawsuits to the “right people”.

Its the BIG SCAM that Dems do everywhere.

They get their liberal attorney friends and liberal NGO’s to sue and instead of fighting baseless charges, they just settle and viola...their lib friends get a nice payoff.

Libs be Libbin

I can’t wait until the January 6th hostages get paid. Hopefully, they can use this case as a precedent.

Leftist judge, foregone conclusion, evidence irrelevant, possibly reversal on appeal. Can’t say I didn’t have mental image of national guard rolling up in M113s and lighting them up knowing that the only possibility of that happening would be if it were MAGA folks protesting something.

In GA if someone is trying to set your house on fire you are justified in using lethal force to stop the threat.

Reason number 2007 why lindsay Graham is a scumbag:

“Number one, he had the legal authority to do it,” Graham replied. “But I fear you will get more violence. Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer violently, I think, was a mistake, because it seems to suggest that’s an OK thing to do.”

Weird how Graham has never condemned the violence of antifa or blm!

settlement agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Oregon.


I would propose that this settlement was done under the biden administration.

would have gone to court with Trump?

We’ve got to figure out a way to get rid of all of these America-hating “judges”. Deport them anyway.

Federal judges appointed for life. Maybe get rid of by impeachment, but extremely difficult to do.

Fixed it. Antifa and BLM need to be sued out of existence.
