    Maybe then they'll laugh at the situation or spend more time eating junk food than rioting.

    I am glad you brought this up. This rally was started as a direct result of Joey Gibson, the founder of Patriot Prayer, getting arrested for felony assault at the Cider Riot incident. If you take a look at the videos, well, I will let the readers arrive at their own conclusions:

    https://expo.oregonlive.com/news/g6...w-of-the-brawl-at-cider-riot-take-a-look.html

    If Joey Gibson isn't arrested, then tomorrow's Portland riot doesn't happen.

    By the way Joey Gibson is often cited as a white supremacist. Joey Gibson is Asian American.

    The Proud Boys are not an extremist group according to the FBI and are continually referred to as a white supremacist group, but the group officially disavows bigotry and racism and the Vancouver chapter is led by a Hispanic,

    Maybe a patriotic pilot can air drop cool ranch doritos and hacky sacks over them.

    This is Portland. The land where white guys are really, really, really white. And pasty.

    This incompetent can't call out Antifa or say who was arrested but it's 'not about politics'. What a disgusting pos. https://www.foxnews.com/

    One thing is beyond question, ANTIFA will be nothing but white people while the proud boys will be ethnically diverse. How do you square that circle?

    Another thing that is beyond question, ANTIFA will get the ever living crap beaten out of them.

    Nobody ever said Antifa was good at this (or all white), just necessary to begin the process of stopping White Nationalism...

    They'll likely improve with the greater opportunities afforded them under the Trump administration... Practice makes perfect...

    So far they've broken windows and beaten on one Asian guy, hardly a symbol of "White Nationalism". However I could be wrong. Do you believe Andy Ngo is a symbol of White Nationalism?

    Maybe a dozen or so of these White liberals can beat up on two Asian guys next time. Think they're up to the challenge?

    This has all the earmarks of a mass shooting in the making.

    Better confiscate their rubber bands.

    Yep... I think they can take 2 Asians at one time, should any want to be associated with The Proud Boys and their ilk...

    I have no real idea of who Andy Ngo is, but some people in Portland believe he's a threat to what they are trying to accomplish, so I defer to them. However, I condemn unprovoked violence.

    Donald J. Trump is the primary symbol of White Nationalism in the United States in 2019.

    Democrats have been covering for him.He is literally one of their main ideologist.Open borders.
    Look at this disgrace.Republicans and the media should be all over this criminal activity during Obama's years.Unbelievable.They allowed a private citizen to use the state apparatus for his own personal gain.

    George Soros's secret 2016 access to State exposes 'big money' hypocrisy of Democrats

    Just t be clear, you do understand that it was White Antifa liberals who beat up on the lone Asian and not the Proud Boys, right?
    The info is on the Internet but what are 'some people in Portland' trying to accomplish?
    Really? How do you figure that? Because he's White? Are the present Democratic candidates also symbols of White Nationalism?

    He’s clearly the worst white nationalist that ever lived since he doesn’t actually do anything that real white nationalists do.

    1. Yep... I believe I condemned the attack on Ngo at the time, but I understand Ngo and Portland Antifa have history... No excuse to beat him up however, as that generally runs counter to their methodology, but it's an explanation that it wasn't a completely random act.....

    2. Stop the spread of facism... thus the term ANTI-FA... See, the FA in ANTIFA stands for facism... (Anti means against)

    3. Of course not... Their words and actions have not led to an increase on violent RW activity in this country...

    Great stuff, Thanks. I like this.

    “George Soros is the founder of an organization that gives away a billion dollars a year to promote democracy and human rights around the world. It is for that reason that people at the State Department speak to him, not because he is a political donor,” top Soros aide Michael Vachon told me.

    Here's some he supports, like BLM, but he also did Occupy Wall Street. How this helps the US is only available to the Democrat machine. It's clear he wants to sow discord. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_projects_supported_by_George_Soros

    The Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer are more racially diverse than Antifa, by a wide margin. The heads of Patriot Prayer and the Vancouver chapter of the Proud Boys are Asian American and Hispanic, respectively. They are nationalists but I feel the name 'white nationalist' is an indication that those who are in the business of labeling others into superficial categories haven't done their homework.

    Right, he was deliberately targeted for criticizing Antifa and this is how they'll respond.
    LOL! So you believe that because they call themselves 'anti fascists' they are actually anti fascists? They coined the name with people like you in mind. Beating up on critics, and shutting down free speech, is what fascists do. That's their job description.
    Do you feel Antifa is 'left wing' or 'right wing'?

    I understand being against fascism. We have a proud history of killing fascists. What the hell are the Proud Boys pissed about?
