Portland shooting leaves 1 dead as pro-Trump group clashes with BLM

EXACTLY. So then why is it that you and others try and blame Trump for issues that are clearly local?? The federal government does not dictate, so riots are due to local leadership, not federal.

 

Right. City and State. Almost every large city in the country is run by a Democrat. But why we hear much about Portland or Seattle is because the state governors are also blue. When we had protests going on here, no buildings were burned and nothing got "occupied". My governor sent a friendly announcement to my mayor that he would not be allowed to turn Austin into Portland or Seattle. After one armed protester was shot by a civilian, my governor sent tons of National Guard, plus DPS, plus Sheriffs and anyone else he had at the state level. We still have some small protests going on, but they ARE controlled and peaceful. My governor handled things so we didn't hear anything from Trump about Texas or any red state. Governors are taking care of business.

 

This is the murdered Trump supporters friend-who witnessed his assassination.

 

I saw that photo earlier today without any label. I wondered who that was. Poor guy.

 

May the fallen rest in peace.

Another life lost to the terrorists blm and antifa.

smh.

 

Now it appears you are spreading fake news. Jay Bishop was not the victim of this murder.

 

There are two ways of looking at this:
One is that the violence is the result of Trump’s rhetoric.
The other is that the violent were given free reign long enough to feel empowered by the lack of action.
Like a forest fire that begins with with a spark and is not dealt with immediately, I favor the latter explanation.

 

~ Actually I think we may see an answer to this question at election time. I believe there is a good chance Washington state and Oregon turn red.

 

Oh, wow! Social media lets us all jump to conclusions before we have all the facts.

Would there even be any riots if people had known that George Floyd swallowed and OD'd on Fentanyl at the beginning of his arrest so the cops wouldn't find it on him and bust him for possession?

 

Pseudonym though....

 

Lol. You cant make this stuff up.

You claim you can put people in little BLM or antifa boxes, and in the same ****ing sentence make everybody that doesnt agree as alt-right.

Good lord.

 

Fake President, Fake Media, Fake Patriots, and Fake Christians.

 

You really lose all credibility there. Proud Boys have a foundational concept of fighting and being "tough".

 

Wow. The resemblance between the top picture and the guy on the lower left is uncanny! Hey, I wasn't the only one. In fact nearly everyone seemed fooled.

I guess it didn't help that both answered to the name "Jay".

ETA: Aaron went by the name "Jay Bishop"? So it was the right guy, but everyone knew him by a different name?

 

I've seen them violently defend themselves against Antifa attacks. I haven't seen them assault Antifa unprovoked.

 

Yeah, Fox News said it was Jay Bishop last hour.

 

So everyone got fooled at least once on that one.

Kinda helps when the guy goes by a pseudonym that even arrest records don't pick up on.

All of the people in the Northwest involved on both sides seem "different" from what we are used to elsewhere.

 

He won't get voted out and that is the shame of it. His only competition is more left than he is. She brags that they call her the "Antifa Mayor".

PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland mayoral candidate Sarah Iannarone positions herself as a more progressive alternative to incumbent Mayor Ted Wheeler, who is seeking his second term. She's made police accountability a major part of her platform, and has joined protesters on numerous occasions calling for racial justice and an end to police brutality.


Iannarone joined KGW for a taping of this week's episode of Straight Talk.

When asked if she would denounce the smaller group of nightly protests that have gone on for more than 70 nights and often turn destructive and violent, Iannarone declined.

"I know nobody controls a social movement," she said. "We need to understand these protests are part of a healthy democracy. Peaceful protests, in my opinion, might not necessarily be moving the conversation forward."

Iannarone's comments were made during the show's taping on Thursday. On Friday, Iannarone’s campaign sent KGW this statement on the issue:

~ In that case perhaps they get what they deserve. At least in California we are trying to recall the governor .

 

Piece of crap or not, it's looking like this man was murdered. I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but as far as I have read the name of the victim has not been released

 

You could well be right.

In the beginning Trump was so low on polls no hope despite Biden being all that was put against him.
Peaceful protests going on and on in Portland and Portland agrees to 'Defund' the police.
Trump sends in Feds – itself questionable as to the lawfullness.
Feds act violently towards protestors including taking them off road and disappearing in unmarked cars.
While peaceful marches continue a unknown violent stream intrudes on them and attacks buildings.
Trump supporters arrive in 'caravan' to provoke. Someone, who and that also means of which side we do not know, shoots a seemingly vulnerable Trump supporter.
US on the verge of civil war but Trumps approval massively increased.

Trump Team mission accomplished.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement!

 

Yet another asinine STRAWMAN that has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the FACTS that I posted.

 

Racist white supremacy is NOT a "value"!

 

As I have already PROVEN the white racists became domestic terrorists during the Obama administration and NOW support your wannabe Fascist-in-Chief because he is one of them.
