And yet they were blatantly attacking public officials, the police, with almost no prosecution.  I am amazed you are defending people that use tactics to permanently maim or kill another human being regardless of that persons chosen profession.

Ever why would you be amazed?  It's the main premise of her party these days.  Heck, she sends them money to keep it running!  She is using someone else's money to help them perform the destruction that they do, and doesn't bat an eyelash.

Not to mention that all this is being done with help from the Portland DA. He is dropping all these charges for people and then releasing them to do the same thing all over again.

That is not what I said. Please don't put words in my mouth. I was not addressing whether overall the protesters were in the right or wrong. I am sticking to the topic of my question which is: did the protesters -- rioters if you insist -- plot to kidnap the mayor of Portland?

I don't think we have any way of knowing what their plans were, other than we have not heard from law enforcement that they were tracking such.  We DO know they went to the mayor's residence as a mob (I don't think it was to thank him for his support, but that's just me guessing) when they tried to torch his condo (might be seen as more than a threat to kidnap to some), and that said mayor had to move out of his residence due to fear...

I never said they plotted to kidnap the mayor of Portland, I did say they actually blatantly attacked public officials with little or no prosecution.  Both groups deserve punishment, and both groups are closer in their tactics and methods than you would like to believe.

Thank you for the clarification, Dashinka. I appreciate it.

Virginia Governor Was Also a Possible Target of Anti-Government Plot, F.B.I. Says

 

 

Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia was discussed as a possible target by members of an anti-government group charged last week with plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, the F.B.I. said on Tuesday.

During a hearing in Grand Rapids, Mich., Special Agent Richard J. Trask II of the F.B.I. said that Mr. Northam and other officials were targeted because of their aggressive lockdown orders to restrict the spread of the coronavirus.

Last week, 13 men accused of involvement in the alleged plot were charged with a variety of state and federal crimes including terrorism, conspiracy and weapons possession.

During Tuesday’s hearing, the authorities revealed that the suspects also spoke about “taking” the Virginia governor “based” on coronavirus lockdown orders that restricted businesses.

The F.B.I. alerted members of Mr. Northam’s security team throughout their investigation, Alena Yarmosky, Mr. Northam’s press secretary, said in a statement. The governor was not informed, “per security protocols,” Ms. Yarmosky said, but added that “at no time was the governor or his family in imminent danger.”

Mr. Northam, a Democrat, issued a statewide stay-at-home order on March 30, instructing residents to leave their homes only for work, medical appointments, family care, shopping for essentials and “outdoor activity with strict social distancing requirements.”

Ahh

 

So was this planned for when he was blacked up? Presumably then a BLM issue.

Undoubtedly a hate crime by people that need to check their privilege.
