Is that what all the people they detained were doing? 

If so, why did they let them go without any charges or citations?

Is every protester violent? 

DHS said yesterday they are going to be bringing these tactics to other American cities? You ok with that? If they came to Houston or Dallas and did this?

Bugaloo boys and other far right extremists have recently committed murders and sought to unleash carnage in order to trigger a war. Should non-violent far-right protesters expect to be kidnapped because they share some beliefs with the terrorists?

They will continue to do this. In Portland and elsewhere. Fucking resist.

Shine a light on it. Call it out relentlessly. The Trump base is masturbating with fervent joy about this racist bullshit. They are lost. Someday, we’ll need to deal with them. But for now, show this to everyone else, who knows that fascism is fucked. Show them that a vote for the GOP would be a green light for unfettered authoritarianism. Show them the truth, nothing more, nothing less.

Let Trump appeal to his base, and alienate everyone else. Make sure that’s exactly what happens.

Oh, and if someone in an unmarked vehicle without clearly visible credentials indicating they are law enforcement tries to grab you, you should probably do what any sane person would do in that situation: shoot them.

These federal police are using chemical weapons against American citizens peacefully demonstrating blocks from any of the federal buildings.

I am offering zero commentary on whether or not this is good or bad. Who can even know? Certainly not me!

Also, as so explicitly stated above by @MillerEP, the ends justify the means.

Was Micah Xavier Johnson a member of BLM or is him being black enough?

Because the Oakland killer certainly was Boogaloo...

Carrillo, prior to his arrest, used his own blood to scrawl the word “boog” and “I became unreasonable” on the hood of the vehicle he carjacked, the complaint says. Both phrases are also associated with "Boogaloo," a term used by extremists to reference a violent uprising or impending civil war in the U.S., the complaint says.

Are the Boogaloo boys out every night causing problems in Portland? No it’s these antifa punks. What you will see soon if this keeps up will be a  organized and armed group of patriots protecting their property if this madness isn’t put down. You should be thankful that the DHS is stepping up and tamping down the insurgents before armed militias on the side that I’m on step in. More than half of the country when polled support bringing troops in to stop riots. Law and order has ALWAYS won in this country in the end and it has always resulted in a backlash against those inciting violence. Finally, I would be 100% ok with this going down in Houston if it was needed. Antifa knows it can’t get away with their bullshit in Texas so it’s a moot point.

This is a purely informative post...

Domestic political terrorism targeting humans and not buildings is almost exclusively a right-wing problem, with right-wing terrorists outpacing the left over 10:1 in terms of human lives taken. (Again, I'm not saying this is good or bad, just linking a study to the statistics.)

When the public is dealing with lawlessness, property destruction and violence by insurgents, they will run to the safety of the police and the apparatus of the state no matter how flawed they may be. That is what I mean by people choosing law and order. No one is running into the arms of antifa to be their protector.

Antifa isn't a federal agency using taxpayer money to violate people's civil rights. What destruction of property is going on? I've seen mainly graffiti and people getting arrested for walking around holding a sign. 

Your dog whistling of LAW AND ORDER schitck is getting old. As is your extremely charged rhetoric. Antifa isn't killing people or running over protesters with cars. That's the right wing extremists. I hear some even want to shoot people crossing the border, vigilante style

But when the right kills people (I'd argue more egregious than property destruction, but I can't calibrate your moral compass for you) it's just an isolated incident or lone wolf. When the left does it, better round 'em all up.

 

[Sawbonz 27,777]

The Trump base is shrinking daily and this shit just ensures it will continue. He has completely forgotten about Covid. Stimulus money is coming to an end with no plan to re-up. When people quit spending the true effects on the economy are going to be apparent, and since we didn’t contain covid when we had a chance we won’t be able to open back up. He will be mid 30’s in approval ratings in a month and if the goon squads are really coming to a metro near you he’ll be under 30

For people like me that are politically moderate it's becoming very difficult to align with or have sympathy for either side when shit like this happens. It's just turned into a pissing contest to see who can best spread disinformation and rhetoric based in absolutism, and it completely distracts from any protesting that has merit and legitimacy. 

At this point I have no idea what people on the streets of Portland are protesting. It just seems like they are poking the bear and then complaining when the bear gets angry because of it. I think the majority of Americans would agree that the police is overmilitarized - but I fail to see what testing their limits for the sake of testing them does to mollify the situation or work towards progress. If anything it gives the "opposition" more room to lash back and create talking points in their favor.

If you're ok with what is happening here, then you are not politically moderate. You are authoritarian.

I am antifascist.

Ken Cuccinelli, Chad Wolfe, and AG Barr can tell their personal army to march their jackboots over the the Courthouse and stand in front of it if they are concerned about a little spray paint. The Governor, the mayor and their respective law enforcement and guardspeople can work with the citizens of that state and city to determine their own path of reconciliation and understanding.

But anonymously intimidating citizenry to score political points and inculcate fear is a great way to end up with collateral damage in the form of American lives. People will fight back. ICE "military" will test the boundaries and rules of engagement. Someone with a CCL who happens to think they are being kidnapped will get shot, a military type with a lust for abuse will cross the line and on and on.

Roy Banks, Robert Fassnacht, Private Robert Hunt, Allison Beth Krause, Jeffery Glenn Miller, Albert Robinson, Sandra Lee Scheuer, William Knox Schroeder and many many more. Some were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. One was the spark to a flame. Others were exercising their first amendment rights.

 

Don't wait for Kent State or a bombing. Speak up now. The carnage this time around will be much worse. The government is getting much better at killing. We've already lost 140,000 this year.

Yes. So are the feds. No one in leadership in Portland or Oregon wants the feds there. Donald Trump is doing this because he is weak and his campaign is failing. It has nothing whatsoever to do with keeping the peace.

Imaginary lawless mobs coming to kill us all is always more fearful than actual authoritarian secret police actually grabbing people off the streets...when you’re a fucking fascist.

That’s been the most eye-opening thing about the last 4 years - we’ve seen that a huge hunk of America is gleeful fascists. Foreigners, “agitators,” protesters...they have to be seized and controlled by The State, by force of course. 40% of Americans are modern Nazis. That’s a fucking cancer.

I'm not really okay with what either side is doing. The point I'm making is that the people being targeted are a bunch of delusional jackasses that have no idea what they're "fighting" for. It's an insipid distraction. I don't have to condone the stupidity of the far left just because the military industrial complex has been allowed to pull strings unchecked for decades now.

What specifically do you believe these folks were doing? The very fact that people are being taken and released without being charged should be a huge fucking sign to you that the allegations of criminal activity are completely fabricated bullshit.
