I'm long out of patience with the rioting and damage, so I have little sympathy with those guilty getting nailed by LE.

but I just can't condone unidentified federal agents grabbing people off the streets, loading them in unmarked cars, and taking them to undisclosed locations. There's decades of dangerous and frightening precedents showing where this leads. And with a lawless jackass at the top of the federal food-chain, this becomes doubly dangerous.

This is my crazy prediction.

The majority of people being swooped up by the feds are protesters but people embedded in the protests to get information.

Portland and Oregon mean absolutely shit to Trump. He will never win this state in the election.

But Portland is big enough to get national attention.

I think we're going to see the feds are going to make an example out of Portland.

Mass arrests. Antifa being labeled a terrorist group.

Portland is going to be made an example for his base.

I mean yes, there has been vandalism not anywhere near the violence that has been going on in other cities.

The sudden presence of feds and yesterday's visit by the acting head of Homeland Security means something is up.

It sucks that Portland has become Ground Zero in a dress rehearsal for the potential Fascist takeover of the United States. However, there's a reason George HW Bush called Portland "Little Beirut". We will not give up without a fight. Because there's enough of us who care about shit, when shit gets bad, and we do anything and everything we can to fight it. Yes, there's some bad elements of that, some people that just want to burn shit down for the thrill of watching shit burn, but thankfully they are the minority of us that are on the streets every night, and we will continue to be on the streets every night telling the world that this shit, and by SHIT I mean Black Lives not mattering, Crony and Corrupt Capitalism enslaving people, Militaristic Police abusing their power, and clueless and corrupt politicians who let it happen.

Oh yeah, and Damian Lillard for MVP.
 
Sorry RastaMan. That first part was an older reply. I completely went off on ABM, then decided I'd take it back. As far as the troops in the picture, I can clearly see company patches on their uniforms.
Seems like people like to use the term "UNIDENTIFIED" to stir stuff up. In all honesty, these people they are snatching up have nothing whatsoever to do with the BLM movement or peaceful protests. These look like dudes out there just fucking with stuff......creating conflict.
I just took a walk thought our neighborhood with the dogs, stopped and got an iced tea......my city is just fine, not under attack. We live smack dab in the middle of town. Not the Beruit they are reporting.
 
Any of you lot despairing of life in Shithole Portland are welcome to do a houseswap with me in Flint, MI. Now I work online, it's totally feasible! We have an excellent Institute of Arts AND Institute of Music...

So who are they then?

One hopes that's true, but I don't see how you can say it with any confidence.

I'm not up to speed on the company patches like I was when I was enlisted. And as far as having confidence of knowing these aren't BLM supporters, I don't have much, that was just my opinion. From the eye, these don't look like any of the people who marched through my neighborhood multiple times in May and June peacefully protesting. Maybe that's where I formed my opinion.

Trump, and the GOP, knows that implying Portland is in chaos gives the rest of the state more motivation to vote for Trump.

It's as simple as that.

Problem is, the rest of the state already votes (usually) red, and it has little impact on the state results. Chances of them siphoning off 200K votes to swing the state are slim.

Trump will not win Oregon. No way in hell

If Trump and his administration get away with this it will only get worse. I'm talking 1984

I’m sure you’ve figured out by now that we’re all pretty much crazy, but crazy doesn’t equate to stupid.....just sayin’....

So, this officially blows my mind. All along I had you pegged as a cranky old, keep off my lawn, guy living in Hillsboro.
