And when your boy keeps shoving his bullshit down the throats of the 2/3's of America that didn't support him it's probably only going to get worse. Just sayin'......................so please don't twist this into me advocating anarchy and violence. Trump's actions are doing that job exceedingly well....and quickly. And please don't tell me that the Trump administration didn't see this coming. None of us are THAT stupid.......

Actually 57% of ALL Americans currently support his immigration EO's, with 29% opposed.

You weren't there. I see megaphones and sweat shirts littered with extreme right Christian propaganda. Look closely and read the shirt of the man with the highlighter yellow sweatshirt. Reminds me of the groups that used to hang outside of my high school and tell kids they were going to hell if they knew a gay person.

Its an unfortunate set of events, no doubt. But, honestly with the country the way it is right now, what do you really expect showing up with a megaphone spewing junk at an event like that.

So its ok to escelate to physical violence from words? How about ignore them? If escelating to physical violence was ok slypokerdog would have bit all of us by now.

Gotta admit that his face makes me want to punch it. And, that is coming from someone who hasn't punched somebody in their 34 year old life.

Ive been punched and still never thrown a punch. Escalating violence is for emotional idiots. I deescalate, like a man. Wrap em up and hit the floor. No one gets hurt.
 
How do some of these people have time to keep protesting at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon? Even if I wanted to, I have a job that requires my attention and a $h!t ton of work to get done.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A third straight day of protests in Portland over President Trump’s executive orders on immigration began at noon Thursday.

Hundreds of people gathered at Terry Schrunk Plaza for the “No Ban, No Wall” protest, which was organized by the non-profit group Unite Oregon.

...


A community member flagged down police at the event to alert them of a passenger in a pickup truck who allegedly displayed a handgun while driving past the plaza.

Officers saw the car circling the area and conducted a traffic stop at SW 4th Avenue and Salmon Street, according to Portland Police Bureau.

The driver and passenger were taken into custody without incident. Officers searched the car and found the handgun, which turned out to be a replica, in addition to an unloaded AR-15 style rifle that belonged to the driver.

The passenger, 20-year-old Sergey E. Antonov, was arrested and booked into Multnomah County Jail for second-degree disorderly conduct.

It's the Russians. It's always the Russians.
 
Quick. Release this on BBC so all the Europeans can gaze in fear.

Pretty good summation and I think you've got the right idea.

Toodle-oo folks. I suddenly realized I also have a pressing appointment anywhere else but here.

I understand completely and am contemplating hanging it up for awhile myself. It's hard to fight those who either are never wrong or who have an answer for everything (Looking at you Denny). They can fiddle while Rome burns, but I feel the need to get back to greener, more gratifying and far more productive pastures while I still can. This is becoming a waste of time and intellect.....and I came here for the Blazers anyway.......

It's not not clear to me why it's so important to some to never admit they were wrong about something. Everyone is from time to time, even with the best of efforts. A sentence is misread, a salient fact is unknown, etc. It shouldn't destroy your ego to admit a mistake.

Shout in your face with a bullhorn But, I saw none. I did notice the agility with which the puncher slipped in and dance out after the delivery. Rather like he had plan and practice. Certainly not within range to have been aroused by a bullhorn.

Wow. So the guy defending the assault says "don't bring a megaphone" to a protest and assumes it was the victims fault? What in the actual fuck?
Regardless of what side you are on, violence should never occur and people should be barred from protesting at airports. Completely fucked up.

Again, this is the result of identity politics, labeling people you don't agree with, with extreme labels such as racist, bigot, xenophobe, in order to use that label as a justification to attack someone. Absolutely pathetic.

Edit: I see the new label is "Nazi" & "fascist" now......

From a liberal, violence shouldn't be acceptable. But stop using the action paint all of us as "losing our marbles" etc.

I could easily find some racist republicans and paint the rest of the lot as prejudiced, but a few racists don't reflect the whole party, just like a few violent idiots don't reflect liberals.
