Interesting little post from a local who’s calling things as they are and have been. Is Portland the claimed Trump ‘war zone’. No. Have we been breeding a violent protesters for years who actually commit a fair amount of violence? Absolutely yes.

So what’s “too far” for Rose City Antifa?

• Blocking the driveway and traffic? Did that.
• Physically interfering with lawful arrests? Did that.
• Torturing the neighborhood with endless megaphone and fireworks noise? Did that.
  • Nearby preschool decides to move due to constant protests/violence/teargas
  • Portland judge sides with city to not enforce constant protestor noise violations near the ICE building (they were temporarily cleared after the lawsuit)
  • Low income residents also lose their appeal to have constantly din of noise violations from protesters stopped
• Doxxing people so their homes and families can be targeted? Did that.
• Attempting to enter the facility? Did that.
• Refusing to obey a judge’s orders to stay away? Did that.
• Smashing windows? Did that.
• Throwing knives at feds? Did that.
• Hurling rocks at feds’ faces? Did that.
• Arson targeting police vehicles, politicians’ homes, train trestles and the ICE facility? Did that. And plead guilty to federal arson charges.

Antifa are clearly violent and they’ve broadcast their intent quite loudly since the Covid protests that had similar acts of violence and arson.

So where’s the line? Do we keep pretending that this wouldn’t escalate to a scenario like the sniper in Dallas? The frog costumes are cute, but even the guy who started that trend loves to post violent threats online.
