Mayor of Portland, Oregon gets tear gassed by federal agents

[okfine]

Here is what your city will look like when you have a Socialist mayor leading the riots.

So this clown leads the pack up to the fence of the Federal Court house and his minions start shooting commercial grade fireworks, sets the place on fire. The Federal police warn them to get the hell out and he won't leave. Gets his ass gassed and his own police force declares it's a riot.

Socialism, coming to a city near you.

Wow, some Riot when it first started. It was due to the overzealous Rump Brown Shirts that it progressed in a more chaotic time. Long before the "Fireworks" the Feds were dispensing Tear Gas on the Crowd.

yes, Fascism coming to a city near you. At least until the Governors and Mayors start arresting the Federal Agents. It's just another case of Rump trying something to get reelected. Mussolini would be proud.

Wrong as usual. The mayor led the charge up to the fence and then the fireworks were shot off. Started a big fire and the Feds warned them to leave. They wouldn't and got their asses gassed.

That fence was NOT Federal. That Fence belonged to the Citizens and the Mayor. I have ears. They didn't gas the ones throwing the fireworks, they gassed the peaceful Protesting including the Mayor. I am surprised that some of the protesters didn't drag out the old hotlegs at that point. But the Protesters and the Mayor showed remarkable restraint. The actions of the Feds who shouldn't be there in the first place could have escalated it into a full blown riot. But with the Mayor there, it didn't go that far. At some point, the Mayors and Governors are going to have to start arresting the Rump Brown Shirts under Local and State laws.

Total bullshit. The fence is Federal property and it sits on Federal land. The rioters started the fire inside the fence and were warned to disperse. The mayor's own police force declared it a riot. And as it's a Federal Facility the Federal police are bound by LAW to protect it.

It's not Portland's property. This is a Federal Court House.

Are you sure who owns that building and the land? I bet you don't.

 

[Gdjjr]

They wouldn't and got their stupid asses gassed.

Where are you getting your info? How do you know their ass is stupid? Who are you comparing them to?
Does the fed gov't pay taxes on the property? Can you point out where, in the constitution, that is a granted authority? Where does the fed gov't get its money? Who pays its wages?

There is a lot more at play here than my guy vs your guy- a lot more.

WTF is a hotleg?
And why shouldnt the feds be in their own building?
Or anywhere in America for that matter.

It wasn't the normal Fed Workers or the normal Federal Security. It was a addition of the added Brown Shirts. They were already there. And it was the fact that the Brown Shirts were out in force arresting people just for hanging out because the look suspicious. That is what the Protest was all about. The Feds need to get the Brownshirts off the streets. The Mayors and the Governors need to state arresting the Bownshirts on local and state laws. It's coming, mark my words.

They don't have any authority to arrest Federal police on Federal property without a warrant from a Federal Court. Not going to happen and I can't wait until Portland is burned to the ground and all the Federal police have to do is blast the idiots with tear gas then go in and drink some coffee.

PORTLAND, Ore. – the mayor of Portland, Oregon, was tear gassed by the U.S. government late Wednesday as he stood at a fence guarding a federal courthouse during another night of protest against the presence of federal agents sent by President Donald Trump to quell unrest in the city.


Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, said it was the first time he’d been tear gassed and appeared slightly dazed and coughed as he put on a pair of goggles someone handed him and drank water. He didn’t leave his spot at the front, however, and continued to take gas.

Around Wheeler, the protest raged, with demonstrators lighting a large fire in the space between the fence and the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse and the pop-pop-pop of federal agents deploying tear gas and stun grenades into the crowd.

"It wasn't immediately clear if the federal agents knew Wheeler was in the crowd when they used the tear gas."

Oh Dear God - I hope that they did.

Can he be charged with attempted murder for not following social distancing protocol?
That’s what the leftwingers here were saying about Trump rallies.

Oh it's coming is it?
Here's how this is going to play out. Trump will lay back and let this shit go down until they attack federal buildings. He'll rightfully protect those.
He now has dem mayors on record telling us they will arrest federal officers which isnt going to fly with the general public.
Trump wins his second term and one of two things will happen. You nancy boys will go home or you'll escalate things even more.
If that happens trump will be free to send in the troops and restore order....and hopefully bust some heads in the process.

Have Fun!!

Just ignore him. He's trying to hide that fact that Protestors Protesting the Brown Shirts is already happening. The Mayors need to stop protesting with the Protesters and start rounding up the Brown shirts and try and convict them under local laws. What's rump going to do then, send in more Brown Shirts to get arrested? Is he going to try and send in the US Military? That was already tried and failed.

Rump will do anything and say anything to get reelected even try and take away the States Rights to do it.

The Federal law states the DHS "shall" protect Federal property. It doesn't say they "can". The head of DHS has no choice but to protect the property by law.

Go look it up and quit making an ass of yourself defending rioters.

If mayors and governors start arresting federal agents that state is in open rebellion. Think states firing on Fort Sumpter. Enforce the Insurrection Act. Withdraw all federal law enforcement and send in Active duty military.

I hope they do it.

How are police supposed to target only those throwing shit? If you stand with violent protesters then you are going to get caught up in the retaliation by police.

I'm telling you all, this is a trap and it will backfire on the President unless he maintains the message, speaks it directly to America (as he did last night and hopefully tonight on Hannity). Independents and Lbertarians are not hard right, loyal GOP voters. Trump has to tell people he is there to support everyones right and the Constitution. He must make everyone aware that tactical decisions are made by others. He can't be viewed as doing something GWB would be expected to do.

Drawing differences between Biden, AOC and him on law and order is fine, but politically one of Bidens biggest weaknesses with black voters this election was the way he supported laws that put many black citizens in prison for long stretches, it's a weakness that Trump will need to exploit if he wants to win in 2020. The last result he wants is for people of all walks of life to view Trump as a tyrant impeding on local affairs, or viewed even worse than Biden is being viewed for his voting decisions nearly 30 years ago.

This is how it is going to be presented and how Biden will paint him in the debates, you can bet on it. So I hope he is listening to the right advisers and not some who are pulling the wool over his eyes to put him in a weaker position with some voters. The Mayor of Portland is calling this "urban warfare" and it will be presented as such to black voters in particular.

A quote from a Fox article:

Wheeler called the tear-gassing an "egregious overreaction," telling Baker he didn't see anything in the crowd that warranted the reaction by federal officers.

"This is not a de-escalation strategy," he said. "This is flat-out urban warfare and it's being brought on this country by the president and it's got to stop now."

Wheeler leads the march and his minions shoot first then claims it's urban warfare against the people. Yup, truly libtarded propaganda.

And had the Brown Shirts not been there it would have been peaceably handled by local authorities. It's like the claims that Rioting in Detroit are destroying businesses. Newsflash, the locals are protecting the Businesses in Detroit and the Looters have all left for other Cities where they can exist. The Rioters that have been caught aren't even from the local areas. They are imported. The Brown Shirts just make things worse.

Stop with the excuses. You have no concern if many people get poorer and even impoverished. What right do you have to destroy with no reason? You are destroying individuals now also. That can only go on for so long. Prog women are going to pay for what they have done to this nation. Because we are in decline. And the more that are poorer the more primal it will get. And the attacks will increase as civilization regresses with life and death and comforts all put on the same level.

More bullshit. First the Portland police report directly to Wheeler and he ordered the police to stand down so there was no way they would have peacefully handled it.

Second, the Portland police had to override the mayor and declared it a riot.

He led the riot there. Got gassed. He is a dipshit.

Do you mean the Mayor was actively rioting? he must have since you claim it was a riot. It had isolated incidents but didn't qualify as a riot until the Brown Shirts started gassing the Protesters including the Mayor.

Ya, "peaceful protesters" launch commercial grade fireworks at the Federal Court House and you lunatics claim the Federal Police started it.

Libtards, never trust these lying bastards.

Those 'fireworks' are considered Class A Explosives and require a license to obtain and detonate. Someone is going to jail real soon as the data (microscopic) pieces identify origions of the explosives.

I can see it now.

Local LEOs: put your guns down and assume the positon
Brown Shirts: You put YOUR guns down and get in the F***in Van
Local LEOs: YOU put your guns down and get in the Police Van
Brown Shirts: There are more of us than you and we are armed
Local LEOs: Look again..........

As bizarre as that sounds, it's coming.

The local LEO's are not going to try and arrest federal agents.
As for the,there are more of us,bullshit? That can change quickly.

When it comes to creating photo-ops, let it be said that Democrats know no bounds.

Portland, Ore., Mayor Ted Wheeler was among the protesters tear-gassed Wednesday evening by an assortment of Department of Homeland Security agents President Donald Trump has deployed to the city amid unrest and mass demonstrations against racial injustice and police brutality.

Videos of the protests circulating online show the mayor’s encounter with federal officers came after he waded into crowds of protesters and was confronted by calls for his resignation and various law enforcement reforms.

Wheeler then apparently walked to the city’s federal courthouse, which has become a focal point of the protests, where he and others were targeted by the officers with volleys of tear gas.

Those 'fireworks' are considered Class A Explosives and require a license to obtain and detonate. Someone is going to jail real soon as the data (microscopic) pieces identify origions of the explosives.

the first shots of the new civil war have been made.

He joined a protest last night at the federal courthouse and was tear-gassed. Too bad. Funny thing, the protesters were chanting Fuck Wheeler!, I guess they don't like him much either. His honor said he wanted the federal agents to leave, but my question is why doesn't he want the rioters to leave? Why doesn't he restore law and order? Trump has the right and he duty to protect federal property, so I can see where he can and should have federal agents there. What's interesting is that the 'peaceful protesters' went to the federal courthouse where they knew the federal agents were, as if they went looking for trouble. So, how much of this shit is due to George Floyd and social justice, and how much is about politics?
