It's bad parenting. Children who were raised poorly are now destroying and rioting and their clueless mothers are still enabling them and making excuses for them.
Dispersing peaceful crowds with mace doesn't go over well, as we all saw when Trump did it.
It's not a good optic for your team.
Because you know, some of us still want to keep the First Amendment intact.
A Leftist citing First Ammendment Rights in 2020 is ironic, considering the broad Left's endorsement of cancel culture and censorhip in a variety of spheres.
Wasn't it you people who tried to appeal to "norms" when you didn't like what Trump was saying on his way to the White House, after your candidates tried to box him in with rhetoric that you thought would prevent him from stating something more effective? Yup, that was your "team".
So, please, with your cynical, disingenuous appeal to the first ammendment to cover for violent terrorists.
We aren't worried about optics with you. Trust me. If you think that's the case, then you haven't moved on from 2016 yet and into the new reality. No one is going to pander to your demand to what looks and sounds acceptable.
Rioting is not a first ammendment Right. No protestor has the innate Right to mix in with rioters and not be arrested as such, anymore than you have the inante right to mix in with a gang who assaults someone and not be arrested as an accomplice of such. That's how it works.
The Right to Protest is not an inviolable get out of jail free card. Its granted right has conditions that assure it doesn't turn into a violation of the rights of non-protestors: like the Rights to life and property.
Portland antifa needs to be RICOed, in total, and tried as a mafia or as domesitc terrorists. Dealers choice.
I don't think these are the moms of the rioters. Just a guess.
I think these are the women from the demographic that held the largest peaceful protest in US history - the women who participated in the Women's March on Washington in 2017.
FROM ARTICLE: "When Wallace asked him how he would “regard your years as President of the United States,” Trump said: “I think I was very unfairly treated. From before I even won I was under investigation by a bunch of thieves, crooks. It was an illegal investigation.” No doubt it's important to understand that Trump puts Trump first, not America. If he thought putting federal troops in Portland wouldn't help his reelection chances, then he would not have done it.
I’m telling you they are being used as pawns. They will allow them to be pepper sprayed to further the cause. The moms will leave once the real sh*t goes down. Of course they are only going to show you the footage that they want you to see.
is there footage of them being pepper-sprayed? I see the 6 seconds of a chant, but that obviously precedes any police action.

Moms failed when they raised their rug rats to be disrespectful angry violent thugs.
We don't need moms to solve this problem here in Portland. We need law enforcement.
Yes!
