Politics So, Is Portland a Powder Keg this Weekend?

[wizenheimer]

far right and far left plan dueling stupidity

a couple of 'investigative' journalists have an expose on far right extremism:

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2020/09/23/patriot-coalition-far-right-chat-logs-violence/

it's a long read, and I'd be inclined to think there are mostly a bunch of internet rambo's posting that won't back up their loony rhetoric

then, there is this on the plans for the rose city this weekend:

State and City leaders are apparently taking the threat of idiots-with-guns-violence seriously

all it takes is one insane moron to light the fuse. Hopefully, it rains a lot and spoils the fun

God I hope not!

Set aside a couple square blocks for three hours no cops no TVs and let them have it. In fact provide enough ammo and guns so everyone is happy and we can turn the page on this bullshit.

Iv been saying that for a while and Delta park would be the perfect place for it. They could sell it to the networks.

So this is making national News again before it even happens.

I found this to be quite interesting.

It's long past time to disarm all protesters. I believe in a persons right to own and carry a weapon, with proper permits. But when it comes to protests, nobody should ever be allowed to show up... armed and ready for combat.

Weird, the majority of the police I see there are just in their normal uniforms.

When you have to advertise in 5 states to get a couple thousand people together then you know exactly how weak your cause is.

'WE’LL F**K ‘EM UP’
Proud Boys organizer threatens to ‘f**k up Antifa’ if they confront far-right group during Portland rally

 

[THE HCP]

I was very surprised that this was at the rally......

 

[THE HCP]

The trump supporters on here must be so proud.

 

[ehizzy3]

Proud boys are the new KKK

Well this Trump's America.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

Joining the proud boys is basically trying out to be a low level grunt for the Trump brownshirts in the future.

What's with Republicans selling shit with Presidents names/etc on it?

I just don't get it. I would never buy anything with Obama or Clinton on it, or fly a big ass flag with his name or logo on it.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

every cop and every right wing militia would use violence to keep trump in office illegally. trump knows it and he must have huge hard on right now

that is a very true statement. They worship him like he's a king, it's kind of disgusting.

The Proud Boys rally, in case anyone wants to check it out.

 

[THE HCP]

Portland Police have been wearing those P hats for at least 20 years. Has nothing to do with these ass hats showing up!
