I agree, it seems the differences we have in this nation have reached a point where peaceful coexistence between left and right is not really possible. Fear of violence is no reason to allow free speech to be silenced. Backing down to the threat of violence is worse than the violence itself. This needs to be stood up against no matter the consequences. The period of violence that we are headed into cannot be stopped, delaying it through appeasement will only make it tougher to undo the tyranny they will impose when they gain power. Even if it means civil war we must stand up for basic American rights and freedoms.
The local governments are not doing their job. These little terrorists would never do something like that in my city because the police are out in force whenever they're needed. I've seen the tiny huddle of protesters surrounded by police and mounted police forces. No antifa idiots would dream of causing a ruckus with mounted police. Plus, armed citizens everywhere and no one knows who's packing. And we have a pretty liberal city government, but there is no way they would tell police to stand down or give people space to destroy.

That's something I never thought about. There are usually none of these crazy protests in Houston or Dallas. If so they're small scale and wouldn't disrupt city events or the residents of that city. These seem to happen in majorly off the wall liberal cities such as in Portland and Berkeley. NYC too.
There must be some level of tolerance for this sort of stuff by local PD or something. It's just weird how this is allowed to happen.

I'm out in north Fort Worth. Honestly this does make me appreciate my area more. Last Saturday I attended a meeting with the Mayor herself. I feel like the people, the local government, and the police force are much more reasonable here.

This reinforces my solution of constitutional carry. The folks in these cities don't seem concerned that the person they are attacking could be armed. Try that stuff in your typical city where the State has constitutional carry.
This old saying has much truth to it. An armed society is a polite society. AKA, An armed society is a peaceful society.
Portland OR cancels its Rose Parade after radicalized Democrats threaten to attack Republican participants,destroy float
It's happening more and more. Now the city of Portland OR, instead of arresting and prosecuting the thugs that attack law-abiding people, simply cancel the parade that the radicalized Democrat thugs didn't want any Republicans in.
Is Portland going to be cutting back on the salaries they pay their police and courts, since they are not doing what they are paid to do: Stop those who are committing crimes, put them in jail, try and sentence them?
It's getting more and more where radicalized thugs can control who can appear in public, make speeches, wave banners (even in parades), simply by committing violence, rioting, destroying property, and then making threats to do more of the same.
This used to happen only in primitive, third-world countries. But now it's happening everywhere, including main streets of American cities. Is nobody going to do anything to stop these radicalized Democrats from reducing the United States to just another third-world country?

There is definitely a level of tolerance. The police are told to stand down and give the protesters space. That's fine when they're peaceful, but when you have these masked idiots coming you can't do that. A heavy police presence and the knowledge that they won't allow this type of stuff would protect the truly peaceful protesters as much as the ones they're protesting against.
Now Dallas did have a very peaceful BLM protest that went off without a hitch until the crowds mostly cleared and that guy started shooting at the police. And even then, those guys protected the remaining protesters and ran towards the gunshots.
I like Houston's mounted police. If you ever stand by a bunch of them, you feel pretty safe. No one in their right mind would start mayham when they're stationed around the perimeter.

I suspect the people of Oregon have even more access to their local politicians, it being so small and all. But clearly they have a lot more sympathy towards the protesters than they do the other groups. I bet they would never cave if it was a gay pride parade being threatened. And they shouldn't.
blah blah bllah. After ONE anonymous email, that probably came from a 15 yr old.
