"The Oath Keepers are described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “one of the largest radical antigovernment groups in the US”, recruiting current and former military and law enforcement personnel. They have recently appeared at rallies from Berkeley to Boston, standing with activists from the far right, activists holding what were once fringe positions who have recently risen to national prominence.
"The Three Percenters are described by Political Research Associates as “a paramilitary group that pledges armed resistance against attempts to restrict private gun ownership”. They were a highly visible presence in Burns, Oregon, before and during the occupation of the Malheur wildlife refuge by rightwing militia early in 2016."
This seems like an escalation that will turn out badly.

It will only turn out badly if the violent left,turns to violence. These people they are considering using are former law enforcement and soldiers. They KNOW how to deal with violent people. Some of them protected businesses during the rioting in Ferguson.
Doesn't help with either yourself or the newspaper that wrote the article using a Anti American Hate group like the SPLC as a source.

Wow..three posts in response to my one! Such a prolific response--for such a new member.
SPLC is not an 'anti-American hate group' and your labeling it as such instantly reveals your agenda and mind-set.
Here in Twin Falls we have the Three Percenters--they occupy themselves driving around in their pick-ups with Confederate Flags and 'Don't Tread on Me' flying high. In those circles, racist rhetoric is common.
It's a badge of honor to have a copy of the Turner Diaries handy.
The community barely tolerates them.
From my perspective, the Three Percenters are an anti-American hate group.
But, no matter--not a subject that we're going to agree on, I suspect.
These people are the Antifa's natural enemy...and their presence will bring a response. My point, is if you want civic tranquillity, this would not be the way to get it. Regardless of your political point of view.

It's pouring gasoline on the fire.
Oh we can see right through your hatred for a group that puts loyalty to the constitution above all else...pure hatred and lies....just sickening. Good luck the the local GOP,The 3 Percenters and Oath Keepers.

Lol..uh..OK. BTW..who is 'we'? I'm talking to a collective?
Does Portland have any resident Republicans? Portland isn't exactly known as a hub, or even a bus stop, for Republican politics. In fact, the city has a reputation as being very Progressive.

Good point. Perhaps the local Republicans..and especially the Alt/Right..are feeling a bit under siege, and wish re-enforcement?
Portland is a bit of a flash point right now..and in such environments are reputations made. Maybe the GOP County Chairman harbors some ambitions?
