    I can tell you what would happen if Antifa came do my neighborhood and did this shit!
    My community made up of all kinds of people that have respect for one another (freedom) would flat out run em out with what ever it took!

    Exactly. Forget politics for a second, just go back to history. The Brownshirts (who Antifa is, knowingly or unknowingly, modeling themselves after) were those who did "criminal mischief" at the local level, intimidated votes, etc. in order to get the Nazis elected. Even the most jackbooted of khaki-wearing, white-robe-in-my-closet KKK protesters isn't assaulting Congresspeople in their office, or blocking off streets, or organizing paid riots.

    If directing traffic is the most fascist shit you've ever seen, then you haven't seen much fascist shit.

    I am saying in general, thisis what they do. The complete opposite of being anti fascists in any protest from them I have seen. They want control, they try to control whether it's destroying shit and making blockades, as you see here manipulating traffic, basically control over others lives as if they are the authority, they have zero respect for others and are most likely made up of a bunch of sociopaths

    To me it's not even about politics at this point even though everybody will make it about politics because that's all the country does today. KKK is bad, Antifa is as well. Both offer nothing to society. They are groups made up of fucked up people most likely due to how they were raised and add whatever mental illness they develop. It's fucked. Nobody should support these groups.On topic to this video though, it's amazing to me nobody was out there to stop them and get them the fuck off the street. I understand though at the same time because they are crazy. Makes me ashamed this shit was in Portland because these clips went viral last night and today especially.

    I don't know, man. I'm really against police use of force. And equally against civilian use of force against police. Probably first would be a calm, and I emphasize calm, officer to approach the protestors and let them know what laws they are breaking and insist they disperse or risk arrest. Good naturedly. I mean those guys are imbeciles, but I believe law enforcement needs to at least pretend to be understanding of everyone. Wait 10 minutes. If they haven't dispersed approach again with an "are you sure?" and if not? Of course arrest them. Hold them overnight and give them community service. Fucking with other civilians with essentially threat of violence shouldn't be part of your protest.

    That being said, I don't think that approach is always the approach. The post-election marches just needed to be herded and monitored. There were way too many people involved to safely interfere. I think they did a good job in Portland of watching the video of the people destroying property and finding them after the fact and charging them accordingly.

    My granddaughter was harassed because she had a shirt that said “Youth for Christ”just walking with a grind and mother. She was grabbed!
    Her mother called police once they got home and of course there wasn’t much they could do.
    These guys are the brown shirt Nazis that are not interested in God and Country, plus they are lazy ass punks that have no work ethic or respect!

    I haven't even heard of the Patriot's Prayer people being out and marching in a long time, so why exactly are these Antifa people still out on the streets going nuts anyway?

    The city does nothing about them, so why would they want to leave.

    So are they mostly homeless people then? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I don't live up there and am still shocked by all the tents on sidewalks I saw when I was up there. You see homeless people in like parks and stuff here, but it's obviously on a whole nother level there.

    I don't know what the %'s are, but I would bet that most of them are homeless.

    I'm not sure that was even antifa. It was a protest after the cops shot someone.

    That was probably a protest supporting a move to deny campus cops the right to carry firearms.

    Work downtown and do my best to be friendly to the homeless when an opportunity presents itself. Last guy I spoke with thanked me for just talking to him. He said he wants to work but there's just "too many good drugs" in Portland. Moved here earlier this year from Louisiana.
