Portland Police haven t been doing anything its the feds protecting Government buildings and they wouldn't be here if the Portland police were allowed to do their job. If it was the same thugs damaging the Post Office downtown nightly think Wheeler would let that go on? Hell know
Trump is now using the protests as a political tool. That is the biggest threat here, not the protestors nor the rioters (the rioters need to be arrested though, of course).
Even the Portland police were not distinguishing between the rioters and the protestors. First, they've got to do that.
It seems to me it would be a great time for BLM to organize an event someplace like Tom McCall Waterfront Park and leave just the hooligans and feds to their own misery at the courthouse.
EVERYONE who's on this thread who hasn't been to the protests or have had no conversations with any protsters or media.... Kindly STFU... You're watching the network news to get your info about the protest? Kindly STFU... You literally have NO CLUE of what's happening. I do... When you fuck with the moms the dads come out: Then the vets come out: And white people are going crazy...
Yes, and he is doing a fine job of it. The media is eating it up. But that is their job, it's all for your entertainment and the almighty dollar with them nowadays. I expected chaos during a presidential election, 2016 was a mad house. I just didn't expect that chaos to come from the white house. I should have though. Trump understands how to manipulate people very well.
Just a heads up since you're going down there, a friend of mine who used to work security for the feds downtown said they're putting IR paint in their paintballs to mark people for arrest. Makes it easier to track people from their cameras.
Thanks yeah, we know. We have black lights and extra clothes. If they arrest me it'll be unlawful. I'm a nonviolent resistor peaceably assembling to redress the government for my grievances...
sorry, not only do I think that's false, I think it's a little naive there are no riots in Albuquerque, and there's been almost no destruction of property. There is no reason at all to surge troops there, but that's what is happening I haven't seen any news about riots or destruction in Seattle for a couple of weeks. Nobody there thinks a surge of federal goons is needed...at all. But that's happening too I think it's pretty clear that if Portland was just having protests, without the graffiti and setting fires to plywood, the troops would still be out there and they'd be gassing the peaceful protests it's a lie that these troop surges are to protect federal property. This is a trump re-election stunt, pure and simple. The goal is provocation...that's obvious, and it's coordinated with fox news and right wing media
I think Trump knows that he won't win Oregon, so why not get some tape of his goons "beating up the libs"?
Why won't you tell us which corporations are influencing you? And why is it Apple? I never have trusted them.
