For more than six weeks, Antifa, and Antifa-offshoots, including alleged Black Lives Matter, have devastated Portland with riots every night. They loot, destroy, burn statues, leave garbage throughout the city, torch buildings, and draw graffiti on every structure. There is no rule of law and the politicians the residents elected don’t want it.
“The Mayor, Governor, Senators are all far-left and allow this. Portland media and politicians describe rioters as peaceful while declaring police violent agitators. This lie keeps riots going,” reporter Andy Ngo writes.
The President sent in federal marshalls and agents from the Department of Homeland Security to protect federal structures. The agents are arresting these domestic terrorists. The Oregon officials want the feds to leave, not Antifa, the feds.
THE POLITICIANS ARE ANTIFA
Oregon Democrats watch Portland burn and that’s all they do. They do not believe in law enforcement and are hard-left politically.
Governor Kate Brown writes: This political theater from President Trump has nothing to do with public safety. The President is failing to lead this nation. Now he is deploying federal officers to patrol the streets of Portland in a blatant abuse of power by the federal government.
Far-left Senator Jeff Merkley wrote on Twitter: Authoritarian governments, not democratic republics, send unmarked authorities after protesters. These Trump/Barr tactics designed to eliminate any accountability are absolutely unacceptable in America and must end.
Far-left Senator Ron Wyden is blaming Trump for the violence in Portland although he only recently sent in troops to save the federal buildings: A peaceful protester in Portland was shot in the head by one of Donald Trump’s secret police. Now Trump and Chad Wolf are weaponizing the DHS as their own occupying army to provoke violence on the streets of my hometown because they think it plays well with right-wing media.
Mayor Ted Wheeler writes: This is clearly a coordinated strategy from the White House. It is irresponsible and it is escalating an already tense situation. Remove your heightened troop presence now.
Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty says: I am proud to be among the loud chorus of elected officials calling for the federal troops in Portland’s streets to go home. Their presence here has escalated tensions and put countless Portlanders exercising their First Amendment Rights in greater danger.
President Trump only recently sent in troops.
Best yet is their top law enforcement officer:
Multnomah County’s incoming DA, Mike Schmidt, who will oversee prosecutions in Portland, is favored by the far-left and Antifa. When asked about the recent riots, he says it takes “more than just peaceful protests to get the government’s attention.”
Businesses are reporting $24 million in damage from the terrorists. Every night, they riot and the communist front group, the National Lawyers’ Guild, bails them out.
‘GESTAPO’ IS TRENDING
If you’re a Portland Biden supporter, you rail against arresting Antifa as if they were being sent to concentration camps when they are actually under arrest for possible crimes, both large and small. The feds are in Portland to protect the federal buildings under constant attack.
‘Gestapo’ is now trending on Twitter and it’s filled with comments like the one below. They don’t want the rioting stopped or domestic terrorists arrested.
Ironically, they are the dictators, the fascists.
Sick twisted Dictator#BlackLivesMatter
Unidentified militarized agents in Portland are grabbing people off the streets & putting them in unmarked vehicles.
They need your help

EVERY NIGHT IS THE SAME IN PORTLAND
It’s still early in the night in Portland but antifa black bloc militants with weapons are beginning to gather in downtown where the parks are fenced off. This is in addition to their current surrounding of the southeast Sherrif’s Office building. pic.twitter.com/CChElBFOhY

#Antifa started a large fire where the Portland elk statue used to be. They burnt a US flag in the flames. Every night they start fires, vandalize everything in the area & leave a mess. The city cleans in the morning & the cycle starts again at night. pic.twitter.com/hlnUYq42ef

When protestors cross the line which includes acts of sedition and/or disrupting the lives of other innocent people, blocking their movement, violent acts, or stopping them from accomplishing their jobs or purpose, blocking their speech, and/or unnecessarily interfering with the activities of their environment, or smear tactics, then they are violating their Constitutional rights, 1st amendment rights, breaking existing laws, and need to be brought to justice. Protesting has its limits and place. These protests are not spontaneous and are organized activities by outside domestic terrorist groups. Many are paid by George Soros, BLM, Antifa, and related extreme liberal groups ( Obama). Those who incite and/or fund riots/looting/arson (George Soros) need to be arrested for being an accomplice and/or sedition. They need to account and pay for the damage they create including costs created by obfuscation. Rioters and looters/arsonists should be placed on notice that they can/will be shot! Likewise any rioter/looter/arsonist arrested who lives outside of the immediate area does not have a “dog in the fight” and deserves an additional citation for being a paid rioter/looter and face felony charges. It is a federal crime to cross state lines or to use interstate facilities to incite or participate in violent rioting. Those rioters/arsonists arrested need to have a criminal/outstanding warrant background check, students need to be expelled, and all face loss of any government subsistence. Unmasking and disarming protestors of weapons should be enforced and Mayors, governors, government officials allowing out of control riots or preventing the police from doing their jobs should be arrested and held accountable.
I hate the probable fact that the real issue is we have a segment of our society that feels destroying other people’s lives when they face adversity is justified.
These are the inevitable consequences when a nation forgets who and what it is and when some of its citizens reject the values that built and sustained it. But tearing things down, including history, does not help others rise. No life is improved, no family stabilized.
“Out of many, one” is our national motto. We seem to be practicing it today about as much as the unofficial one, “In God we trust.”
Federal Government should defund Portland, no more tax payer’s money wasted on that city or for that matter any other city infested with this scum.
Portland has been a communist stronghold for decades, the Pearl District has been a panti-fa no-go zone for almost as long.
It’s getting on time, kids.
TOSIWR
Morons in Oregon want their city to get looted, robbed and burned – you got it!
Pull out all feds and give not one cent of fed dollars to help these unthinking, do-nothing Oregonians.
This is the utopia you wanted, live with it!!!
The ActBlue PAC sends money to hordes of individuals in amounts around $300 and less?? Seems just a bit odd. ActBlue is where BLM donations are sent.

Given this happens in Democrat controlled areas, it can be called the Democrat Jobs Program.
