    Because my point has been that the violent protests by ANTIFA after trump was elected have brought groups like the proud boys to Portland. They have given them a purpose and made it easier to recruit because there is a battleground for them to go and fight the liberals. Meanwhile the rest of us have to put up with it.

    Lanny, I never sdaid gthey werent.


    But you are twisting my post and running it off the rails.

    Again. Show me any video evidence of The proud boys attacking innocent Journalists with masks on to hide their identity?


    Yes, they beat each other down that's fine, but beating on innocent people covering it?

    Your defense of their actions is pure asinine. Plain and simple.

    That "journalist" isn't so innocent. Note he gets beat up at every single one of these events. Makes you wonder why he keeps attending, doesn't it?

    so he continues to report the gatherings despite being beat up, makes him not innocent????????

    Maybe he keeps attending to make the world aware of what is happening to him, others and our city in general?

    Again, your guys rationalization for these action is insane.

    It's not good that people get beat up. It's just not surprising.

    This guy isn't acting as a journalist, he's a partisan player in this drama.

    Have you ever read any of his stuff?

    So its okay to beat him up because he writes his opinions on it???? Does reading his stuff then mean im okay to go punch him when I see him in a crowd? Come on man.......

    Is he actively protesting in the midst of this, or documenting and reporting his opinion sports in the aftermath? Ever seen him get aggressive or take swings or throw things at anyone? Not in any video I have seen after researching.

    Again. justifying the actions is avoiding the truth and simply making excuses.

    I didn't say it was ok. I said it wasn't surprising.

    Again. Not justifying. Just not surprised. The guy wants to be a victim, he's found willing participants to make him a victim.

    So that's your stance? the guy wants to be a victim????? How about others who have had things tossed at heir cars for simply trying to get through the chaos and get on to where they want to go? Oh should I add while without a permit and illegally occupying the streets?

    Then I say that to every Antifa, mask wearing, violent first, fuck who walks down the street and when they finally get their asses kicked in masses, there better not be any cry out from the socialist extremists.

    Yes. There's not really any other explanation. No one forces him to repeatedly interact with antifa. At this point he knows exactly what the drill is, and he chooses to engage.

    Other people are other people. We were talking about this guy specifically. I agree innocent bystanders are innocent.

    They are there for the fight, same as the Proud Boys. Neither side has any call to complain about getting their asses kicked.

    Damn right! Those antifa are the brown shirts of Portland.
    Im a old sucker but I will not put up with their bullshit in my neighbor hood!
    You want to protest in peace and with respect to others great I'm all for it.
    Ever since my granddaughter was harassed and pushed by these cowards Id l,ike nothing more for those that cause that crap to get their asses kicked. This isn't about politics with me its about respecting one another.
    Portland's Mayor has to go.....

    agree...both sides are not being respectful of the right and privilege. If they cant respect it and be peaceful, don't provide permits to those groups.
    again, if any of theses guys (either side) came in to my neighbor hood tried this, they'd get run out of here.

    either side is in the wrong when they disrespect the law and others. I wouldn't grant either of the groups again any kind of permit.
    Violence and hate on both sides has to stop or the young people today will feel they need to choose a side out of fear, which is flat wrong.
    When I changed from being a democrat to a repub many moons ago, nobody shunned me or gave me crap. This the power for freedom right there. hen I changed from repub to and independent the same.
    Im glad my neighborhood can get together and party and have fun on the fourth! all religions, parties, sex's etc. Its done with respect to one another and its Freedom in the most Powerful form!

    Wow! The Antifa MFs that did this were fortunate . By shear luck they picked the wrong old man.

    Damn, I guess I have to check what's going down before I go down in that friggin war zone. I almost never check, just bumble in.

    LBJ actually did some real good unlike Trump. Remember, it was LBJ that got the Voting Rights act passed.

    I was at that park for Vortex which was the idea from the McCall administration back in 1969 or 1970 if memory serves me. Lots of weed and lots of nudity. Beautiful park.

    Maybe you could show me where ANTIFA protested in Porltand prior to 2016 and Trump's election.

    "According to a 2017 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, "of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, far right wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent). The total number of fatalities is about the same for far right wing violent extremists and radical Islamist violent extremists over the approximately 15-year period (106 and 94, respectively). However, 52 percent of the deaths attributable to radical Islamist violent extremists occurred in a single event—an attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida in 2016."

    In 2018, most ideologically motivated murders were linked to right-wing extremism."

    I was fully clothed, although my girl friend, soon to be ex wife, probably was keen to strip naked. She was a wild one.
    A note about my ex, she was sexually extremely immoral but attended a church of the same sect as me, Episcopalian. That's why I had hopes that she would turn her life around.
