But not nearly enough! I can think of a dozen protests that should be going on, today, simultaneously.

What we're seeing is the last "great" days of Capitalism.

The investor who bought the property from the bank now says they will sell the house back to the family at cost, $280K which is less then the amount of money that has been raised.

It has come out that the Kinney’s are living at their second home a half mile away. A police report documenting Kinney as an animal abuser has also come out. The protestors remain focused on helping this “poor” family get their home back.

The others will be arrested.

LET ME BE BLUNT: A whole bunch of freakishly far leftists are in for a truly brutal 2021 because they didn't get the memo that with Trump gone, they're no longer getting free passes. They're going to get crushed.

Who will crush them? Not the right, they hold no power there. It will be the left, just not the far far left.
This will be funny to watch. Enjoy prison fools.
When it comes to dealing with Black Lives Matter/Antifa troublemakers in his city Democrat Ted Wheeler is softer than a wet noodle. He lets Black Lives Matter/Antifa walk all over him!

Knowing Democrat Ted Wheeler he will provide cover for Black Lives Matter/Antifa and falsely claim that the lawless autonomous zone in Portland, Oregon was started by White Supremacists!

Are you saying that, while Trump respected the Constitutional separation of powers between Federal and State governments and let the states deal with internal crime and violence (except where Federal assets are under attack), Biden won't respect any such separation, and will just go right in and wipe out whomever he imagines is "at fault"?

Naw, they were just enacting another "Summer of Love".

In December.

As a life-long Oregonian, I never gave a damn about Portland. The people there have always thought that our state was all about them, but we'd be better off without their big-city problems and major pollution. Where I live, has just the right size and attitude. Every good idea that comes out of Oregon, starts here, not there.

Portland, Oregon is so Far Left that you could dig up the dead corpse of Huey P. Newton, stick put a sticker on his dead corpse that says Democrat, run him for mayor pitting him against a Republican candidate and Huey P. Newton wins in a huge landslide!

I would suggest it comes down to the Law Enforcement entities and especially the DA's. Again, Schmid is an absolute clown ...

Quote:
Schmidt addressed the protest in a statement saying it highlighted the need to address “our housing crisis, economic inequalities, racial and social injustices, and to be mindful of the collateral consequences that the criminal legal system can have on destabilizing families and entire communities.”

Schmidt said there are significant safety concerns with the protests and that the barricades must come down, but he also credited the action with raising awareness of injustice.

“Many in our community would have never known about the plight of the Kinney family and the red house on Mississippi but for the neighbors and community members who have refused to stand by silently,” Schmidt said. “The shame is that it took this type of an intervention to bring so many together to want to remedy the situation.”
