    Yes, Vegan terrorism. It's the aerosol though that will put him away. We must remember the end zone layer.

    The Proud Boy Chapter that went to Portland was the Vancouver, Washington chapter, just across the river from Portland. Patriot Prayer is headquartered in Camas, Washington, also right across the river from Portland.

    It seems he thought WWII was fought on skin color rather than ideology.

    I think Antifa's "excuse for existing" was proven today.... to take the steam out of the RW (including carpetbaggers from Florida) trying to stir up problems in Oregon.....

    They're watching for us!!

    You keep trying to sell that line but no one is buying it. Unless you're admitting that the repubs are fascist.

    I was being hyperbolic. I don't think they should be shot.

    How can you not buy facts? Do you disagree that the KKK was Democrat or that no Republicans are in Antifa?

    You feel the leftists didn't already 'stir up problems' with their beating of Andy Ngo?

    I haven't heard about anything that happened today, but I'm sure not going to blindly accept your portrayal of whatever transpired. And even if they accidentally did something good for once, it doesn't make up for their past actions.

    This is from today, Fascist guy didn't follow the Police Officer's directions, and the police officer reluctantly threw him down on the concrete splitting his head - with any luck, it knocked some sense into him.

    [​IMG]

    It's important to follow the instructions of law enforcement officers. They represent us, civilized law-abiding society.

    Finally voices on the Left are being raised against these fascists:

    The very liberal Andy Lassner - producer of the Ellen show, had some angry words for members of Antifa:

    Hey Antifa, whoever you are, how about you cut it the f*ck out?​

    You’re putting millions and millions of us in a position where the right wants us to defend something we want no part of.​

    You don’t represent me.​

    Go home.​

    — andy lassner (@andylassner) August 17, 2019

    You are wrong about one thing Andy, it sickens us when the Left defends these Fascists, that's the LAST thing we want you to do.

    President Trump put Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler on notice.

    "Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an “ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.” Portland is being watched very closely. Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job!"​

    After the last Antifa protest, when they beat up on Andy Ngo, Antifa probably expected the police wouldn't bother them.

    Same set of circumstances as today.... Proud Boys, Antifa there in response, a RW "journalist" caught behind the lines....

    I don't condone Ngo getting beaten up, but he was no innocent bystander either...

    I recommend he stays with his side next time...

    Just proves that there are evil doers on both sides. A pro White Supremacist Nazi jerk ran his car through the anti Supremacist propestors and murdered one and injured a lot of people.

    There must be a hard core radical sick element as part of the so called Antifa coalition that is out to provoke a violent response. That seems to me to be the work of the Russian GRU or FSB. Very likely there are Russian agents in both the extreme Right wing and extreme left wing camps just as there was in the 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's. The anti war movement was infiltrated if not just outright started by Soviet Russian Communist agents. Unins in the 1930's were infiltrated. The Civil rights movement was infiltrated by Soviet Russian agents and Communist sympathizer.

    Sad sad sad that our current POTUS is either blind to the Russian threat or Putin has some very very very very bad bad bad crap on him.

    Not at all just that tear gas is purely made made or man combined whereas pepper spray is an organic extract. True that organic chemicals can cause as much pain as artificial irritants but my understanding is that organic substances should not result is permanent harm. Not pleasant either way.

    Won't SNIP the entire thing, but you can read the entire section titled "Who is Andy Ngo"

    SNIP
    Ngo has not only documented antifa activities but published at least one member’s full name alongside a picture — “doxxing” her, in internet parlance, and exposing her to retaliation. Ngo’s work on this front had made him well-known to antifa, and profoundly despised — he claims, for example, that an antifa member assaulted and robbed him at his gym.

    In mid-June, he reported advance news of an event on June 29 in Portland by the “Proud Boys” — a far-right group who describe themselves as “Western chauvinists” and are a major antifa nemesis. Portland antifa, who organized a counterprotest, issued a statement warning about the event that criticized Ngo by name.

    The stage was set for a major confrontation between Ngo and antifa. And when he showed up at their event over the weekend, that’s exactly what happened.

    And the attack on Ngo seems less like a part of a broader pattern of attacks on journalists than it does part of a specific feud between Portland antifa and Ngo; they didn’t appear to target other journalists at the rally in the same fashion

    Really? They haven't sunk to the level of lawlessness yet? Maybe they aren't hunting down and lynching people, especially black people. Thank God. But they certainly have been lawless in committing disturbance of the peace, assault, battery, vandalism, arson, illegally blocking traffic and entry to places of business, terrorism. I wonder if there is any such thing as a peaceful ANTIFA protest anywhere?

    I was surprised that two posters on this very thread essentially stated that their political opposition/people they don't like should be killed.

    Get off it. Truth is the KKK is the terrorist arm of the Southern racist front.

    Of course not... because they only show up to counter-protest RW events....

    Stop the RW events, you'll stop the counter-protests...

    Almost a lock....

    Yeah, that's not Fascist at All.

    Nope.

    I think you have a dated understanding of the term "organic".

    Like a 70's vegan.

    Heroin is an organic substance.

    So no permanent harm, right?

    I am not going to pour through this whole thread, but that crap should be pointed out and dealt with specifically. Can you quote the posts, because that does suck.
