There is no greater fiscal and safety failure than cities under “progressive” Democrat control. See San Francisco, Chicago, Manhattan, Seattle, Portland. And I don’t belong to any political party.

What happened to the Wall of Moms? It’s like they just went poof! Were they cancelled for some political infraction?

How is something "more violent than they are" when there is endless plain video of it being as violent as I hold it to be?

Portland is "my opponent"?

Portland is a space of political geography.

The groups terrorizing Portland on video, night after night, are everyone's opponent, to include Portland's, and civilization's opponent.

They aren't part of any "community" as they pretend to be. Their local weed network doesn't begin to count. These are malignant, mentally ill terrorists with a political agenda that normal people are not on board with. These people need medication, therapy to inform them of how disordered they are in feeling entitled to such terrorism, and sobriety. They need to join society instead of trying to destroy it.

These Leftist terrorists, and their politicians, have changed our cities for the worse and made many virtually unliveable.

Ask anyone whose been to NYC in the last month, or who lives there. People are fleeing the cities by the thousands because of the Left's terrorism and their demands to reduce the Police forces that their actions are illustrating as entirely necessary. That's undeniable.

The people you support are violent terrorists and deserve to be fitted for head bags. No one is going to have sympathy for them as they terrorize the streets of our cities.

I'd donate to your favorite charity if you know the first thing about research.

All of the video fully illustrates the violent terrorism of your group, and the non-stop distrruption of our cities for vague and invented issues. Research is therefore unecessary, as the proof is in the video.

Argue all that you want. It'll go out into the ether and be ineffective, just as your "protests" and riots are at this point.

They have entirely the opposite effect of their claimed intent, unless the actual intent is merely to intimidate people. Which would qualify as domestic terrorism and which we all know is the point.

The Nation has been watching for months and is utterly fed up. Antifa has lost their PR war for years to come. They have done grave damage to the BLM movement.

Which was always going to be the only result coming from a bunch of drug addled mental cases and barely covert hardcore communists with no penchant for nuance, physical restraint, emotional control, or even logic.

I could poll everyday Americans for weeks if Antifa should be "fitted for head bags", using that exact language, and would get an overwhelmingly majority affirmative response. Antifa terrorist actions are responsible for that response.

So natter on. You've lost, and Antifas direct actions are the reason for that loss and nothing else. Blame others all that you want.

Any quasi-homeless addict dressed in black or kid out for a night of destruction while living with his or her parents has done more to destroy the public opinion for whatever they are antagonizing the public over than any counter-rhetoric ever could.

If they hate democracy and wish to terrorize until they get their result, then they are living in the wrong nation.

So very correct!! One of the best posts in this thread.

Phenomenal post and spot-on!

The ANTIFAs have destroyed the BLM movement, and to the public, they are now practically one in the same.

As the clock ticks on, these violent protests and riots are losing relevance and folks are fed up--both sides of the political aisle.

This is really scary. It’s really hard to believe what’s happening in Portland right now.

One dead in Portland after last night, a shooting...

Since I'm not from Portland or Oregon, I'm not gonna comment (not my city), but no one had posted this in the thread...

I'm surprised this violent level of protesting took this long to happen. A city that has constantly allowed people to take over streets and bridges to Protests for years. Well what the hell do people expect eventually will happen. Now will happen. The whole foolish mess is the result of nutcases and segments of the population condoning the arrogance of Portland for decades.

What I really wonder is why the local citizens and the state Govt is allowing this to continue. Thousands of locals should be hounding the mayor and Salem to deal with this mess now. Otherwise the Federal Govt should completely intervene. Maybe it's time to give Portland as well as Salem politicians and ultimatum. That American cities and the states they are in, do not get to operate as Portland feels it can. The Mayor needs to be removed from office that is obvious. I'm not sure about the Governor. Is she just as bad? Either way I don't get why the local citizens keep tolerating this crap. What is everyone waiting for the death toll to go sky-high. U hate to think what else could happen there.

At this point Portland looks like a completely broken mess. A city where law abiding citizens are controlled by thugs. Very very sad that Portlanders are not demanding a stop to this now.

I am watching the press conference about the killing with Ted Wheeler, the police chief and the D.A.

Wheeler is spending much, close to half, of his time attacking President Trump and blaming him for the violence.

Chief Lovell is the most sensible one.

[redguard57]

First, we don't know yet who the shooter was.

Second, why do the "Prayer Patriots," "Proud Boys," etc..
feel the need to go to Portland for their events? My sense is they want a confrontation, and they got what they wanted this time.

Here's the press conference on the killing during the protests so that people can judge for themselves.
