Doesn't take the president to do it. The state governor can call out the Guard.

I call BS.
So tell us what you would do if a mob surrounded your car yelling and screaming breaking the glass and you were alone? Personally, I would say most anything to get out of that. Say I am about to give birth, say I am having a heart attack, say my car has a bomb that is about to go off, etc etc etc.

Only thing they are accomplishing is people who voted for Trump are sure they did the right thing plus Trump will win again in 4 years.

It is a youth issue...Their brains are not fully developed and they function on emotion. They can be easily manipulated by ideology. I saw them in the occupy movement...the protestors were all young...BUT behind the scene I saw old bearded fanatics - old school Marists and others...Just like ISIS there is always some weird old man manipulating youth...

These old bastards are who you have to go after.
Those are the ultra liberal professors who teach these kids to riot when things don't go their way----remember Bill Ayers----Obama's buddy? He thought bombing buildings was cool. He got away with it on a technicality and now teaches at a university.

I'll take the law into my own hands if need be because incidents such as the OP show that sometimes you just can't count on the police to help when you need it. I've been around savages most of my adult life while working as a LEO. They have no regard for human life and I have no regard for their lives.

I have seen tea party protesters step up and stop/impede poor behavior from people at their protests, why aren't they?
In Portland, are you kidding? How many tea party people do you think are out in these "protests"? Probably close to zero. And why should they, liberals keep yammering about how the police are there to protect everyone, that should be enough right?

Many in crowd trying to get anarchist groups to stop destroying property, anarchists refusing. Others encouraged to leave area.
It sound like the people there didn't learn from the Korean shopkeepers during the 1992 LA riots. That was probably before most of the rioters were born so they wouldn't know about it.

Of course being ultra liberal Portland they'd probably be arrested for defending themselves.

Calling these anarchists "anarchists" is like calling the KKK "Republicans" or the New Black Panthers "Democrats".

Anarchism is a philosophical ideology. These people are chaotic thugs.

Very true. I think a lot of people would have had some concerns the next few days with the way the media is portraying Trump as an amateur, getting all those Republican names as cabinet members. That stuff would have been a little more concerning had we not had this week long temper tantrum reminding us what the stakes are. Whoever thought this was a good idea sure screwed over the Democrats for a long time.

I think he meant that the Tea Party people stopped their own protesters when they started getting a little rowdy, not that Tea Party members could or should stop these Democrat rioters.
