    You'd think I would hate the ACLU but they are extremely necessary

    Not much of a leader. This just sounds like a partisan pot tender.
    "Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler has asked the federal government to revoke a permit for what he described as an alt-right demonstration"

    Portland really doesn't know how to elect mayors.

    This new habit of the left, of labeling those who disagree as hateful/racist or whatever, and using that as grounds to shut them down is something that has really turned me off to the left.

    Unless there is more to it, like revoking all permits due to threat of increased violence, I agree that this goes against free speech and what in the end will defeat these assholes. If they follow the prescribed protocol to get a permit, their views shouldn't matter. Trust in the populous to pay them no-nevermind or run an anti-rally of their own. Let the alt-right-haters yell louder to drown them out, don't let government ever be the ones to shut peoples voices off.

    I'm against the banning of this gathering...

    but this event has been timed to coincide with the Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade. That is going to leave police resources very stretched during their biggest event of the year. Between 300,000 to 500,000 people a year attend this parade and it is a very real potential terrorist target.

    It would be best for everyone if the June 10th rally was moved to a different day.

    So labeling it alt-right isn't smart, just asking for the permit to be delayed until police resources are freed up would have been sufficient,

    This strikes me as one of those political moves where he knows he can't revoke the permit, and the protest will happen anyway, but he gets credit with all the liberals in this city for trying.

    I think the thing that drives me crazy about a lot of liberals is the extreme hypocrisy.

    I was reading yesterday about how a friend of the stabber tried to come to the court room to support him. The guy said that Christian had changed a lot but he wanted to let him know that he's still his friend. That guy was basically chased off by all the people who are furious over the stabbings. They called him a Nazi and a racist. What happened to "love over hate?" I don't understand how these people can't see the irony in their behavior. They laud the three men who stood up to the stabber because he was accosting a girl for being Muslim, and yet here are a bunch of people chasing off a man who just wanted to be there for his friend. Whether you agree with him or not, that's just extremely hypocritical.

    I read about this yesterday on Yahoo. He's just another piece of shit mayor in a LOOOONG line of shitty Portland mayors. I'm beginning to actually think that Liberals are going to be their own downfall, especially if they keep electing morons like this clown shoe.

    I saw the video of him being run off and it did not sit well with me. I kind of feel like a little common sense needs to be applied to all of this. Emotion is very raw. Violence is likely imminent. From that perspective, I agree that postponing the rally is a good idea. I also think Christian's friend likely knew exactly what he was doing and was trying to incite a reaction. He should have stayed away. That day.

    I totally understand that people are upset. I understand that there is a lot of raw emotion and anger. It's just sad that you can go look at the memorial at the MAX station and there's all these messages of love, acceptance, and tolerance..... and not more than a few days later there's people from the other side who are chasing down and accosting someone they don't agree with. It's hypocritical. It's the same kind of shit that drove me away from Christianity. If you're going to say that you are about love and acceptance, then you should ALWAYS be about love and acceptance. Not just when it's people that you agree with.

    Where were the people standing up for that guy's rights? Where were the people doing the right thing for him? We have seen this same hypocrisy for months now. People marching against Trump, carrying signs that say things like "Love Trumps Hate" and yet they quickly turn into an angry and aggressive mob if they see someone that disagrees with them. It's shameful.

    There's a reason why people came up with the term "Regressive Left".

    Either he knew what he was doing, or the story as reported is incomplete, or he's a moron. Maybe all three.

    He's a free man in a free country, violating no laws and going about his life.

    Who are you to say he should have "stayed away"?

    I agree with you that violence is likely imminent, since the same 2 dozen paid antifa clowns have been allowed to openly attack people and property over and over and over since the election. Several attack victims were completely within their rights to have killed their attackers in self-defense, but were either unarmed or showed remarkable restraint. Since neither Wheeler or Brown will enforce the laws and arrest and prosecute these criminals and the man who pays them, sooner or later one of their victims will be forced to use lethal force. I fully expected it to happen months ago.

    I moved AWAY FROM PDX largely to avoid criminals, not engage in combat with them. :cheers:

    There are no antifa "terrorists" here in Beautiful Central Oregon. Maybe it's the dry climate? :dunno:
