Tolerant left, my ass.

LBJ by a large margin lol

Half of me thinks it is a pr stunt. Any news is good news right??

You should listen to that half more often.

Can't say I'm too concerned about this, overall. There was ample warning to the citizenry that dipshits were planning to fight. Dipshits showed up and fought. Some of them got punched. Shocking outcome, isn't it?

But life goes on. I was downtown this morning and there was a film crew making a movie (or something). Otherwise normal.

The protest downtown were to Keep Garth fans from Autzen!
didn't work....never seen so many down home people at Autzen. God Bless America!

Right, that tells me all I need to know. Good luck, but your boy isn't looking very good. Maybe one of his dictator buddies will take him in as Putin will be casting him aside when he is voted out of office.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Well, the left are filled with unhinged, whiny fucking bitches. So yes, when they dont get their way, this is how they react.

Just fuck right the hell off with that nonsense. The right is just as full of snowflakes as the left.

There are people on the left who are sore losers. There are people on the right who are sore winners.

Interesting theory... the protests were at their very worst just hours and days after he was elected. Blocking freeways and destroying property. These protests created groups like the proud boys.

Sure - and the KKK only exists because those damn socialists/lefties insisted on freeing the slaves. Seriously, neoNazi groups have been around the NW for decades. They may have changed their names, but they didn't just come into existence.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I can not ever recall a protest that did not intentional interrupt the rights of other people. Intrusively or disruptively, if not violently.

No, Donald Trump invented all those hate groups in 2016 actually. Their mere existence is his fault.

Whining about the president isn’t a legitimate excuse for fucking shit up. People ostracize and divide themselves when they act like dipshits and constantly try to pick fights and agitate “the other side”.
You don’t get to literally and actively be part of the division problem, then turn around and say “look at how he’s dividing us”.

I get that.... but what does that have to do with my reply to prune?

Sorry Lanny.

When you post video evidence of the proud boys masking their faces and attacking innocent reporters without provocation, ill digress.

Until then, your questions hold zero merit.

They are there because of the lawlessness of antifa. No antifa, no proud boys.

You got that exactly backwards. It's the Right wing extremists that practiced violence that brought about ANTIFA.

No, you said proud boys. Not white extremists. Yes, why extremists have been around much longer, but that isnt what you said. You said proud boys and they came about because of the Antifa movement.

Is anyone so blind as to think this group is not all about bigotry and violence? Did you know that they marched with the KKK and Nazis in Charlottesville carrying torches and chanting "Jews will not replace us!"?

Edit:
This from the FBI -
“There have been instances where self-identified Proud Boys have been violent,” he said. “We do not intend and we do not designate groups, especially broad national groups, as extremists.”

Please link me a right wing extremist protest in Portland prior to the Trump election riots back in 2016.

Why limit it to Portland?

 

[Natebishop3]

Why limit it to Portland?

Because my point has been that the violent protests by ANTIFA after trump was elected have brought groups like the proud boys to Portland. They have given them a purpose and made it easier to recruit because there is a battleground for them to go and fight the liberals. Meanwhile the rest of us have to put up with it.

Lanny, I never sdaid gthey werent.


But you are twisting my post and running it off the rails.

Again. Show me any video evidence of The proud boys attacking innocent Journalists with masks on to hide their identity?


Yes, they beat each other down that's fine, but beating on innocent people covering it?

Your defense of their actions is pure asinine. Plain and simple.

That "journalist" isn't so innocent. Note he gets beat up at every single one of these events. Makes you wonder why he keeps attending, doesn't it?

barfo

so he continues to report the gatherings despite being beat up, makes him not innocent????????

Maybe he keeps attending to make the world aware of what is happening to him, others and our city in general?

Again, your guys rationalization for these action is insane.

It's not good that people get beat up. It's just not surprising.

This guy isn't acting as a journalist, he's a partisan player in this drama.

Have you ever read any of his stuff?

So its okay to beat him up because he writes his opinions on it???? Does reading his stuff then mean im okay to go punch him when I see him in a crowd? Come on man.......

Is he actively protesting in the midst of this, or documenting and reporting his opinion sports in the aftermath? Ever seen him get aggressive or take swings or throw things at anyone? Not in any video I have seen after researching.

Again. justifying the actions is avoiding the truth and simply making excuses.

I didn't say it was ok. I said it wasn't surprising.

Again. Not justifying. Just not surprised. The guy wants to be a victim, he's found willing participants to make him a victim.

So that's your stance? the guy wants to be a victim????? How about others who have had things tossed at heir cars for simply trying to get through the chaos and get on to where they want to go? Oh should I add while without a permit and illegally occupying the streets?

Then I say that to every Antifa, mask wearing, violent first, fuck who walks down the street and when they finally get their asses kicked in masses, there better not be any cry out from the socialist extremists.

 

[barfo]

So that's your stance? the guy wants to be a victim?????

Yes. There's not really any other explanation. No one forces him to repeatedly interact with antifa. At this point he knows exactly what the drill is, and he chooses to engage.

How about others who have had things tossed at heir cars for simply trying to get through the chaos and get on to where they want to go? Oh should I add while without a permit and illegally occupying the streets?

Other people are other people. We were talking about this guy specifically. I agree innocent bystanders are innocent.

Then I say that to every Antifa, mask wearing, violent first, fuck who walks down the street and when they finally get their asses kicked in masses, there better not be any cry out from the socialist extremists.

They are there for the fight, same as the Proud Boys. Neither side has any call to complain about getting their asses kicked.
