    Arguing in circles now.
    I'm not into continually rehashing points for arguments sake.

    Here are the gang of right wing hate groups doing battle in the streets with shields and clubs. It's hilarious the way some of you have portrayed this situation in Portland without really knowing anything about it.

    Yeah, the Constitution doesn't have an enough is enough already clause. It would help if the atrocious handling of the pandemic didn't put all these kids out of school and adults out of work.

    Would you suggest that everyone go back to work and school in the middle of a pandemic?

    The right wing hate rally today in Portland was organized by Amber Cummings who is not from Portland, nor are her groupies from Portland.

    The "other interest groups" were a white supremacist gang called the American Guard that Cummings uses for security.

    You see how little a lot of you know about what's happening in Portland? Amazing.

    As I said, other groups are coming to these events also.
    When LE hands are tied, the concerned citizens can and do fill the gap.
    Many of these folk are defending their own town.
    The left don't like it when they get beaten at their own game.

    There's a thread about cocaine and how to acquire it... he and all the other racist BLM sympathizers are very active in there. I guess it's the white man;s fault for planting cocaine in poor neighborhoods in the 70s. The funny thing is no one is more annoyed with blm protests than hard working immigrants... not rich white people ... the kind who use merit to get tough blue collar jobs rashmon's crew are too good for.

    This is false. The organizer of the event was from San Francisco. Neither the Proud Boys, Patriot’s Prayer, or the American Guard are from Portland. Your calling white supremacist groups “other groups” and “concerned citizens” is embarrassing and despicable.

    Here is one of your concerned citizens, Alan Swinney from Odessa. This guy literally raises money online through Patreon to travel the country and fight.






    Alt-right 'agitators' clash violently in downtown Portland, unlawful assembly declared
    https://www.kgw.com/article/news/lo...land/283-8be912e6-746b-4b8a-94f9-c5f45d57a795

    PORTLAND, Ore. — Alt-Right and white nationalist groups came to downtown Portland near the Multnomah County Justice Center on Saturday and began clashing with Antifa and other groups opposed to their presence.

    According to Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, her office was aware of the planned alt-right presence on Friday. She sent out a tweet thread denouncing their organizing and recruiting in Portland.

    The alt-right group became violent with Antifa and other groups of people Downtown. Fights broke out and journalist Cory Elia reported large amount of bear spray being used by alt-right members.

    Oregon Public Broadcasting reporter Sergio Olmos reported seeing an alt-right member pulling what appears to be a gun on a crowd at around 2 p.m. No shots were fired. Portland police later said it learned through Sergio Olmos' tweet that a man flashed a gun. It is investigating.

    However, the last time alt-right members came to Portland and clashed with Antifa and others, shots were allegedly fired outside of a car as it was leaving a parking garage with alt-right members inside it. A casing was recovered by a witness.

    The group also began attempting to dismantle and vandalize a snack van that is a popular staple during the nightly Portland protests.

    Not one single time have I denied there are people from all over among these groups in Portland. You need to pay attention to what I say.
    Now, prove that there are no Portland people among them defending their homes.
    I have seen video of people who come out of their houses only to be bullied, harrassed and even knocked around.
    Prove to me that Portlanders are not among some of these groups defending their city and homes against this outrageous stupidity all because of an incompetent democratic mayor, who for some insane reason wants this to continue in his city and even refused help and ordered it to go away shortly after it arrived.

    As someone who was a concerned citizen who went out to defend my town I can tell you there were alt-Right people who came here from out of town. They were not people who came to Minneapolis to help defend the town and were not welcome. In fact they were also here to cause damage and destruction. In my neighborhood a group with out of state plates threw a molotov cocktail into a Somali owned pharmacy.

    There was also this guy


    Who turned out to be tied to a White supremacist group.

    Yes you said "As I said, other groups are coming to these events also." and then you talk about concerned citizens. I am a concerned citizen and those other groups weren't concerned citizens. They weren't there to help. They were there to cause destruction and mischief.

    So none of the good citizens of Portland have joined a group that is trying to oust the wankers destroying their city and way of life?
    Tell me, just what are these groups clashing over?

    I don't know I'm not in Portland but it wouldn't surprise me if there were. People like myself didn't get much coverage especially national. I agree the media likes the controversy and excitement and neighbors organizing neighborhood watches isn't as exciting as images of burning buildings and LE clubbing people.

    Things don't look good from the news but at the same time from what I can tell is that not all of Portland, or Seattle, is up in flames just as most of Minneapolis wasn't up in flames.

    I can tell you though that the outside groups that came into Minneapolis many were not there to do good. This wasn't "fine people on both sides" in fact there were some very bad people on both sides. That's why I have no problem saying there were people on the Left who came into Minneapolis to "F^(% Sh^t UP!" but there were also those from the Right who were causing trouble.

    Just admit both sides are coming in and causing trouble.
