Ha, well the guy I ran over maybe didn't deserve it or maybe he did for being a drunk idiot, but after he took me to court and lost my insurance company took him to court and he had to pay for the damages to my car.
If they were simply directing cars away from their demonstration then fine. Explain that to the cars in a civil manner. They lose any respect from me when they try to start fights with innocent people just trying to figure out where to go.
Police doing a helluva job. How the FUCK are these people allowed to DIRECT TRAFFIC and yell and threaten people driving their cars?
I moved because eventually I would knock one of these guys out and I would get killed. At the end of the video the guy hits the truck in the back and the lady directing traffic even said.. "oooohh., dammit". They KNOW what they are doing is wrong and they still do it!!!! I want to ask the mayor who I send my bill to cause my time is expensive. I swear if I truly ever get caught up in something like that and lose serious time,. I will be on the mayors doorstep asking him where to send the invoice to. When is enough enough and we are allowed to take back our streets?????? And for anyone who wants to say protesting is legal, I'm all for protesting. But there are good ways and bad ways. Anyone who thinks this is a good way is living in a bubble....
I'd probably attack one of them if I didn't just run one over. So glad I don't live there. Can't even dox them and get them fired from the job they don't have.
Its a real mess. There is no easy answer but if they continue doing this, they will push good people to the brink and it will become chaos and possibly civil war.
I don't know the CCW laws in Portland, but this probably doesn't fly in FL... I'm a bit surprised, in a good way, that we're 30 posts in and I haven't seen "cucks" used once...
I don't quite agree. To have a war, you have to have 2 sides with staying power. I don't think that even the most hard-core Antifa dudes in that video are going to keep coming after one of them gets killed.
Totally agree. It’s infuriating. Driving to the airport this morning and just looking at the tents all over the place drives me nuts too. No, i am not saying it’s an easy solution out there and no we can’t just lock everyone up but dammit let’s go. Who runs this place? We have .001% of the population living in tents and doing what they want and we all just drive around them like “shhh don’t wake up the people in the tents they’re sleeping”. I’m sick of it. Same with the protestors. It’s simple. You break a law you get arrested. Last I checked we aren’t allowed to just stand in streets hitting cars with bats.
This Anifa group are nothing but a bunch of cowards! Mob dirt bags! If Portland tolerates this group they are being held honstage the extreme left mayor won’t do a damn thing to stop them.
Legit question, as I haven't been there for either but I've been "aggressively panhandled" the last couple of times I've been back... Did the Occupy movement get like this? Or was it just needles and rapes and garbage and feces, but they left you alone?
Interesting take from overseas: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45442596 I wonder the impression it's having on my kids. I try to keep it real basic: money and bad luck and mental illness and drugs/alcohol. But in reality, I think it is changing a lot of us. I used to be much more compassionate, much much more. But the garbage has gotten to me. Fucking needles on the playgrounds. People smoking meth all over. Gross. Protests can't be destructive. If they are destructive they become riots. Singing songs and chanting with signs because you believe strongly in something=fine; organized marches=totally fine. Touching anyone or anything with bad intent, fucking with my commute=fuck that. Taunting, feigning violence, holding a bat, calling strangers crazy things=bizarro and fucked. The video above still bothers me.
Remember these people call themselves antifa yet they do some of the most fascist shit I ever saw. Directing traffic? trying to control people and tell them what to do? who are these losers?
Occupy was the same shit. I just think they have gotten more aggressive over time. They still incited shit at the occupy movement though when all that was going on. It's only gotten worse
In your opinion, what's the "punishment" or "correction" for that behavior? Most normal people would say that's bad. But is it "jail time" bad? "Community Service and Fine" bad? "Police Beatdown to disperse?" These people didn't just make a mistake, they're somehow messed up in the head thinking this is cool. Even the girl that was out there trying to be "polite" was not calling out the bad behavior. Overseas, there are different ways to deal militarily with this stuff. I'm partially glad I don't have to (get to) here, and I'm not trained for it like cops are, but you can't let this stuff go free. That reminded me of Tombstone where Curly Bill's gang was running roughshod over the town and the sheriffs didn't want to do anything to disturb them. Took the OK corral and the posses to figure it all out.
