United States Attorney Statement Regarding Ongoing Violence in Portland

 

Quote

 

By contrast, there has been nothing civil, respectful, or positive about the nightly violent and destructive protests in Portland, Oregon. On many nights, after peaceful demonstrations end, violent agitators have physically attacked police officers and firefighters, damaged buildings, and repeatedly attempted to set public buildings on fire. These agitators include not just local residents but people who have travelled from out of state. 

On several occasions in August, demonstrations were held during the day where groups with opposing ideologies clashed and engaged in physical violence against one another. Following one of these political rallies, a man was shot and killed. Most recently, acts of violence towards law enforcement and first responders include a Portland firefighter being shot in the chest with a steel ball bearing launched from an arm-mounted slingshot, a man dousing several police officers with high-powered bear deterrent spray, a man punching a female police officer in the face, and a woman striking a police officer in the head from behind with a wooden shield.

This violent and senseless criminal conduct does nothing to promote meaningful or positive change. It forces the focus away from racial justice, instills fear in our community, and deters visitors. It is destroying the fabric of a city and a state that we love.

As a direct consequence of this criminal behavior and the media attention it generates, this community must now deal with the threat of even more outsiders traveling to Portland to participate in what they’ve been watching on social media and television for weeks. This too is not a new phenomenon for Portlanders. In August 2019, after a summer of violent clashes between opposing protest groups, several groups put out national calls for supporters to travel to Portland to join in a citywide melee

Was that what happened there? Have you actually seen the reporting on this? It is not completely clear -- the driver said some protestors had hit his car, other witnesses (reporters who were on the scene) have disputed this. Reports are still unclear whether he drove into the crowd to begin with or was surrounded.

 

If I am going to be charitable, I would think the driver got spooked and sped off, not meaning to hit the woman. 

 

 

I do not care who is committing violence. If the investigation reveals the man responded in a panic, and it was an accident, not violence, I am happy to say I was wrong. But there are multiple versions of this incident which present the scene differently. 

 

No, that's NOT what haopened here, because the driver was smart enough to step on the gas and escape.  Sucks for the person trying to block the road (you know, that place where VEHICLES are supposed to be, not PROTESTERS).

 

You DO realize it's illegal to block a road, right?  

 

Are you trying to say that you haven't seen videos the past couple of months of people getting pulled from cars and being beaten?

 

Just last month...

There are whole videos of what happened with this incident and the Prius

Part of me wants to shout "UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLEAREYOUOUTTAYOURMIND!?!?"  But another part of me just recognizes that it's become the norm.  

 

Democrat Oregon Gov. Kate Brown Declares State of Emergency in Portland for 1st Time over Antifa Counter-Protest

 

 

“The First Amendment does not give anyone license to hurt or kill someone because of opposing political views,” Brown said. “And when free expression is fueled by hate and coupled with an intent to incite violence, then I need to do everything I can as governor to ensure the safety of Oregonians.”

This also means that any existing bans on the use of tear gas by law enforcement agencies will be lifted.

She allows antifa/BLM riots and destruction for months, and now wants to declare a state of emergency because folks from the right want to stage a protest???

I say good on that driver. I would 100% run people over if they were illegally blocking the road I was on while *gasp* actually trying to do something productive with my time, if I was promised I wouldn't end up in legal trouble for it.

These things are what the left ignore when they make statement suggesting that vocal "condemnations" have any meaning when these actions are far more consequential in serving as support.

Don't you dare say it.. 👆

 

 

Looks like a doxxing Antifa member (surprise, father is supposedly a university professor and they use public funds for this) has been located and had a lawsuit filed against him..

 

This is the idiocy they push:

 

And by they, I not only mean Antifa, but the guy above.. this is the relationship the media have with domestic terrorists:

 

 

 

 

 

In case that's not crazy enough:

 

These people are beyond crazy, but you can see that they need the nutty hyperbole as a moral equivalence tool to justify their own extremism.

If anyone was wondering about Twitter's stance on doxxing.. no, not their posted TOS stance, but their "official" (as in, how they deal with those they agree with) stance as seen in this lawsuit, look at the "wow" image below:
