    You might want to try going to Portland before you post what you watch on your propaganda channel.

    The casualties are just collateral damage in their political game. What I don't get is how the core message that BLM stands for has been allowed to be taken over by white anarchists. The whole reason for the protests (police brutality on blacks) has been usurped. The other irony is that these 'antifascists' force white bystanders to adhere to their demands which is .....fascism.

    Whoever killed this guy should be arrested and tried like the kid who killed two people in Kenosha.

    I wonder if those involved in these street violence (deadly or otherwise) understand that they are not doing their sides any favors. I don’t know if the leftists on the street care much for Biden (seem more Bernie) but the MAGA are explicitly out there supporting Trump.

    I guess I shouldn’t be shocked that people are supporting this.

    This how it starts one side gets some people killed another side gets some people killed. Whenever it’s your side those people are martyres when your side does the killing those people are just defending themselves. You say the other side is completely unjustified “they killed or our guy! Our guy was only defending himself” and it goes on and on and on.

    There’s a reason it’s called a cycle of violence

    I like how Trump used an exclamation point on the RIP message.

    He's excited about this. He's loving it like the OP.

    These people have a mental disorder.

    I haven't seen any cheerleading threads for the looting but these guys are chomping at the bit for **** to really start flying.

    The only hope here is justice is done. We can’t have the any ambiguity like what we saw with Kenosha where it appears that LE is favoring one side.

    Thats how things go so bad in Northern Ireland when the RUC and later British Army were perceived as being on the side of the Protestants. The Catholics obviously didn’t trust them and anytime the RUC or British did anything to stop the Protestants they would accuse them of being traitors

    Trump and his minions are loving this...his best chance of getting reelected is for people to fall for his “law and order” bullsh*t

    their message is “u won’t be safe in Biden’s America”...hilarious since all this chaos and death is occurring under Donald Trump’s America

    they literally run ads showing bad things happening under Donald Trump to explain how bad and dangerous America will be under Biden

    this country is going down the drain

    Who the hell would actually want 4 more years of this?

    I’m thinking there will be a mass shooting in public soon.

    End open carry, it's madness. Very, very few people in this country should be permitted to carry weapons in public. There should be automatic arrests for anybody carrying weapons at large public gatherings, such as protests, rallies, parades, riots, or whatever you want to call it.

    Trumps America is Dead Americans being hauled away in refrigerated trucks. Trumps America is armed goons storming state capitals. Trumps America is outside militias breaking up protests.

    no one is supporting this; i'd rather no one got killed.

    i'd also prefer white people stopped burning down black neighborhoods and businesses.

    They should not be— at least not publicly. Sounding too eager to encourage violence would be giving up the game and the voters will start blaming him for the violence rather the other side.

    The way to take advantage of violence is to make people think that the other side is causing the violence.

    Trump says nothing, nor sends condolences when it's someone other than his followers dying. Disgusting how he ignores the pain and suffering, and victims from both sides. You don't hear his empathy for over a quarter million dead Americans and the thousands dying each week of Covid either.

    White supremacists carrying American flags are still white supremacists. Looks like the body bags are going the other way now. Congrats MAGAers.

    Patriots Prayer is a militant white supremacist group that has been having hate rallies in Portland for years now or as Trump people call them, patriotic Americans.

    Who does this sound like?

    Hitler is the arch propagandist of our time. These are examples of his strategy in attempting to mold the opinions and attitudes of his intended victims to his own purposes. Division, doubt, and fear are the weapons he uses within one nation and among Allied countries arrayed against him. His purpose is summed up in his own phrase—to sow “mental confusion, contradiction. of feeling, indecision, panic.”

    Scary!! The concern should be real. This is not a man anyone should want running this country any more.

    For him to use that phrase is a scary sign.

    Another person dead because of the stupid local leaders, city council members, mayors, and governors of these areas haven't put a stop to the BS. If you keep this stuff smoldering long enough, fires are going to break out on both "sides" and people on both "sides" are going to die.

    And to be clear, "the offensive" started a couple of years ago when outside right wing hate groups began staging rallies in Portland. It didn't start yesterday.
