I don’t think it’s any coincidence that the woman they robbed/attacked and the man they killed(?) were white rednecks in a truck.
BLM's rhetoric is getting more violent. Amazing what happens when you don't prosecute lawlessness or hold people accountable for what they say---it increases and gets bolder...and bolder.....

They go on national TV and say they want to burn the system down...and nothing happens.

They show up at people's homes and intimidate their families...and nothing happens.

They block traffic and surround vehicles...and nothing happens.

They pull people out of the car and beat them to a bloody pulp...and nothing happens.

See the pattern? Next they will just roam around and murder people. Burn down their homes. And nothing will happen.


What you allow, continues. Will any of these mayors or DA's put an end to this. It's easy, really. This is happening because they want it to. We have radicalized lunatics running these cities.

Notice the absence of the usual leftist posters in this forum. There’s no defending this and why good good people have to arm themselves.

I'm sure someone will come in and say that Portland was mostly peaceful, except for this.

Or in a few days the NY Times will publish a piece saying how this was just a random crime picked up by the Russians and amplified via right wing outlets.

Whatever...did it happen? Is this supposed to happen in a normal world? That's ALL I care about. Not left. Not right. Just basic safety and lawful behavior.

This is what Portlamd voters voted for.

Politicians that coddle leftist rioters and preach divisive victimhood resentment.

Assault is a behavior, not a device. In the end, the only form of gun control that works is taking aim before pulling the trigger.


Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

The video is so hard to watch. Yes it was real, it was all over the local independent journalist videos last night as well as some local media. They made that man sit on the ground while they went thru his belongings then beat him unconscious. The "security" guy has been identified and the DA better hold him accountable. Furthermore maybe now the mayor Ted Wheeler can issue a curfew finally.

This is just what you get when people vote for Democrats for too long. None of this would happen in a city or state run by competent people, but it's what the people of Portland deserve for voting for Democrats....and it'll be what you deserve if you vote for Democrats. I'm no fan of most Republicans, but it's simply immoral to support ANY Democrat.
