trump’s Gestapo Unable to Force Black Lives Matter “Anarchists” To Knuckle Under

[Coyote]

This article — featured in the OP — is in my opinion worth reading. I was never concerned that the political theater in Portland would lead to serious property damage or casualties ... before Trump’s federal escalation.

I hope this article is accurate in its assumption that Trump’s provocation & electoral gamble will backfire, and remain mostly theater, but I fear it will not. There are many possible bad scenarios, including possible emerging use of provocateurs or armed rightwing militia from rural Oregon. I suppose it is a good sign, as this article implies, that the state’s armed rightwing militia groups seem to also be opposed to Trump’s use of federal forces:

“In reality, the protests occupy an area of just two to four square blocks, with little effect on the rest of Portland, already a ghost town due to Oregon’s strict lockdown procedures against COVID-19. Black Lives Matter and antiracism protests were already routine in the city, and traffic flowed normally just a block from the teargassing I witnessed. Even as protests surged toward the front of the federal courthouse, I found the street behind it completely empty.

“It’s worth comparing the treatment of protesters in Portland with those in other cities. In Lansing, Mich., anti-lockdown protesters carried rifles into the state Capitol and menaced legislators in session, without any police response at all. Militia groups, freelance gunmen and Bikers for Trump have threatened BLM protesters everywhere from Bethel, Ohio, to Spokane, Wash. Police departments rarely do anything unless shots are fired, a deference not extended to the Mom Wall, where I saw federal agents beat unarmed women in bicycle helmets just for refusing to move....

“The last time I had been at a protest here, it featured countless American flags and a cowboy on a beautiful bay horse, all to support Ammon Bundy, the right-wing rancher on trial here in 2017 for his role in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation.

“But even Bundy has now condemned the use of federal law enforcement in local protests, and the Three Percent Militia, arguably the most powerful in America, criticized Donald Trump for suggesting that looters be shot. Trump’s overreach is causing schisms inside these ultra-right movements; at an Idaho militia rally I attended in June, hundreds of armed men and women applauded as a speaker from Black Lives Matter condemned the police murder of George Floyd. If Trump can’t hold the Coeur d’Alene fairgrounds, he won’t take downtown Portland.

“The conflict in Oregon — one step in a presidential law-and-order reelection tour — is coming down to a nightly clash between a few hundred police officers, some persistent BLM activists and a thousand moms holding flowers.

“Trump can deploy the same forces to Chicago and elsewhere. But if the Portland model spreads, it’s unlikely he can win this fight.”

Excellant article - puts things in perspective.

...an area of just two to four square blocks...

That Mom Wall sure is violent.

trump’s Gestapo Unable to Force Black Lives Matter “Anarchists” To Knuckle Under

It’s apparent the impeached president trump will need to send reinforcements to Portland, OR, the few currently deployed are insufficiently vicious.

If increasing the number of U.S. marshals fails to turn the trick, it’s certain the impeached president trump’s good buddy, Vladimir Putin would loan him a couple hundred enforcers, trained in KGB-style tactics.

It is going to end badly. Kent State all over again.

Except these thugs and criminals aren't students. I'm talking about the violent rioters, not the dumb white sheep.

Most of these people are not violent rioters.

[Tom Paine 1949]

Even if they are “PR stunts,” especially if they are, then they don’t deserve to be treated as armed insurrection — which they most certainly are NOT.

Democracy is messy. Those who preach “civil war” or unrequested federal military intervention against peaceful, or even not so peaceful, local crowds ... just want to create trouble. The federal government of course can defend federal facilities, but the feds should never be used to serve as uninvited storm troopers to suppress local demonstrations, or to act as political tools of a single party.

 

[yidnar]

A shooting Civil War is coming and i think it's beyond stopping and i think it will start in the at the end of 2020-beginning of 2021 after President Trump is reelected. I would take Civil War over being ruled by the Communists taking over the Democratic Party.

Your fantasies of “Communists taking over the Democratic Party” are dangerous delusions. Nobody cares what you personally would or would not “take.”

There may be some political violence, even attempts at disruption of normal Constitutional rule in some areas or even in Washington, D.C. if the November election is close — but they will almost certainly come from the right, from rightwing politicians like Trump mobilizing rightwing police security forces in a de facto Bonapartist coup. But no “Civil War.” Only the right in this country is seriously armed, and the vast majority of Americans would be horrified by such a coup attempt. The best the extreme right could do is DESTROY. Hopefully only itself. But possibly also the United States as a democratic republic.

and just who is out rioting looting and burning right now ? its radical dems thats who ! and if you are trying to say your comrades will not get violent if biden loses you are out of your mind ! there is absolutely no way the left will accept a loss ! and your lies prove that your party and the people that support it are dishonest. you are a liar and you know it !

If you really think that protesters are not getting away with a lot of shit, then you need to share whatever it is that you are high on.

Protesting - i.e. freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, is a Constitutional right. They weren't destroying anything so I don't quite get what they were "getting away with".

This article — featured in the OP — is in my opinion worth reading. I was never concerned that the political theater in Portland would lead to serious property damage or casualties ... before Trump’s federal escalation.

I hope this article is accurate in its assumption that Trump’s provocation & electoral gamble will backfire, and remain mostly theater, but I fear it will not. There are many possible bad scenarios, including possible emerging use of provocateurs or armed rightwing militia from rural Oregon. I suppose it is a good sign, as this article implies, that the state’s armed rightwing militia groups seem to also be opposed to Trump’s use of federal forces:

“In reality, the protests occupy an area of just two to four square blocks, with little effect on the rest of Portland, already a ghost town due to Oregon’s strict lockdown procedures against COVID-19. Black Lives Matter and antiracism protests were already routine in the city, and traffic flowed normally just a block from the teargassing I witnessed. Even as protests surged toward the front of the federal courthouse, I found the street behind it completely empty.

“It’s worth comparing the treatment of protesters in Portland with those in other cities. In Lansing, Mich., anti-lockdown protesters carried rifles into the state Capitol and menaced legislators in session, without any police response at all. Militia groups, freelance gunmen and Bikers for Trump have threatened BLM protesters everywhere from Bethel, Ohio, to Spokane, Wash. Police departments rarely do anything unless shots are fired, a deference not extended to the Mom Wall, where I saw federal agents beat unarmed women in bicycle helmets just for refusing to move....

“The last time I had been at a protest here, it featured countless American flags and a cowboy on a beautiful bay horse, all to support Ammon Bundy, the right-wing rancher on trial here in 2017 for his role in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation.

“But even Bundy has now condemned the use of federal law enforcement in local protests, and the Three Percent Militia, arguably the most powerful in America, criticized Donald Trump for suggesting that looters be shot. Trump’s overreach is causing schisms inside these ultra-right movements; at an Idaho militia rally I attended in June, hundreds of armed men and women applauded as a speaker from Black Lives Matter condemned the police murder of George Floyd. If Trump can’t hold the Coeur d’Alene fairgrounds, he won’t take downtown Portland.

“The conflict in Oregon — one step in a presidential law-and-order reelection tour — is coming down to a nightly clash between a few hundred police officers, some persistent BLM activists and a thousand moms holding flowers.

“Trump can deploy the same forces to Chicago and elsewhere. But if the Portland model spreads, it’s unlikely he can win this fight.”

The Battle of Portland: Trump's escalating tactics against protesters are backfiring in Oregon

Excellant article - puts things in perspective.

...an area of just two to four square blocks...

That Mom Wall sure is violent.

It's a great PR stunt.

If it were not for the fact that some of these shit-for-brains are recognizable by their spare tires when dressed in face covering antifa garb, we might not get who they really are.

A PR stunt? Ahhhh....so that is what non-violent protests are?

When the fat-asses who hide behind antifa garb and participate in violent rallies...then don yellow t-shirts (which need to be a lot bigger......gross) to march in peaceful rally.......do I really need to tell you the answer ?

Doesn't look like a violent rally to me...they are standing there. Like...you know...standing.

and federal law enforcement is not harassing them either !proof that law enforcement are not rounding up peaceful protesters ! they are only locking up violent rioters.

Sure...like the guy they shot in the face for holding a boombox over his head.

I am sure there is some concern given that you have three officers suffering potential permanent sight loss due to being hit with lasers trying to execute the law.

I suspect they are walking. The males (and I use that term loosely) in antifa need to hide behind shit like masks and their oversized women.

They aren't Antifa.

They are Portland residents.

trump’s Gestapo Unable to Force Black Lives Matter “Anarchists” To Knuckle Under

It’s apparent the impeached president trump will need to send reinforcements to Portland, OR, the few currently deployed are insufficiently vicious.

If increasing the number of U.S. marshals fails to turn the trick, it’s certain the impeached president trump’s good buddy, Vladimir Putin would loan him a couple hundred enforcers, trained in KGB-style tactics.
