posted by CenterBHSFanI'm not sure why lefty journo's don't think he's a journalist. He's documented hundreds of these things, written for Quillete and although I could be wrong I thought he wrote for WSJ once.
It's also been found out that antifa was mixing quicklime into the milkshakes in an effort to cause reactionary burns. The PD released that statement.
Yes, but Quilette isn't a real publication because right wing something something...
btw, a gofundme started by Michelle Malkin has raised over $100,000 for Ngo.
Portland pretty much sucks balls right now.
I think the WH should come out and make statements on this forms of domestic terrorism. Its a winning political point.

It might win points for Trump voters and maybe even some moderates. But I think what the result would be is places like Portland going even more nuts, hospitalizing more people, damaging even more property.
It's only a matter of time before a few armed people start shooting antifa members, right? I don't think anyone would be shocked if it happened. They are playing with fire.

I'm sure it'll happen. I hope it doesn't, though. Aside from the fact that killing people isn't ever an ideal thing, I'd wager Antifa would be more than happy to climb up on that cross and be full-tilt divas about how they're being victimized or something. Might actually help their cause, long-term.

Agreed.

I hope it doesn't happen either, but if they keep assaulting people it's bound to happen. Honestly, at this point if someone were being attacked and they shot a few members, I couldn't blame them.

Oh, me neither. I wouldn't fault them for shooting in response to being attacked. Self-defense is what carrying is for.
I just know that it would get turned around. "Antifa being hunted." "Another shooting: How many deaths before more gun control?"
I know that tune too well as it is.
Remember when presidential candidates were denouncing the Smollet (fake) assault? Could you imagine if some MAGA dudes beat up a CNN reporter, the outrage and blaming Trump for saying the enemy of the people?
Also, ANTIFA is fighting an "enemy" that doesn't exist. They are a bunch of leftist losers who want to feel tough by covering their faces and assaulting people. There are numerous videos of them taking over Portland streets and assaulting strangers. There is twitter video of the same thing that Ngo was at where they assaulted a 50+ year old man and cracked a guys head open with a pipe/ chain when he intervened. Where are the police?

Given Portland's high rate of unsheltered homeless, probably tending to some homeless guy violently shitting his pants and claiming to be Jesus.
Portland PD are told to stand down by Ted Wheeler, the mayor.
the portland stuff on youtube cracks me up. Why people that live there put up with that is amazing

Safe bet one of these times they block traffic and start pounding on the windows someone is going to panic and plow thru them with their car.
Yesterday antifa also beat the hell out of an older man with a crow bar or pipe. The picture/vid of it is horrible!

One can hope.

Well then that person will be charged with vehicular homicide.
I can't say I "hope" it happens, but it might have a beneficial outcome for many. If I were a strict utilitarian, I might consider it a good thing for someone to run over a few of them.

It would be an interesting court case. As soon as someone breaks a window, you have a decent argument for fearing for your life.
Also, they're not in a crosswalk and illegally blocking traffic. I'm not sure you'd get 12 jurors to convict that person of vehicular homicide.
