Police declare riot on 84th night of protests, after vandalism at ICE building in Southwest Portland

Well, they can't blame Trump anymore for it.

Trump will be blamed for all the troubles of the US for at least the next few decades. All-purpose excuses - slavery for example - are extremely useful and not lightly given up.

Defunding the US police may turn out to be a slow process. Taking away all their powers - and guns! - could be useful quick fix.

No. These are brain dead Marxists who seek to achieve their goals through violence and who are being enabled by leftist politicians too cowardly to take them on

Marxist? LOL! We've already have an authoritarian loving and Russia loving jackass in the White House right now.

You need to look up the definition of authoritarian and compare that to what Antifa is doing as well as these state governors.

I don’t believe trump spent his honeymoon in Moscow. LOL
I don’t believe the RNC used a Russian agent to gather dirt on Hillary. I heard Hillary got a golden shower in Russia. LOL

If trump cured the common cold, he would be blamed for putting doctors out of business.

Why should we let cities be held hostage by 100-200 violent thugs? Perhaps the good people of the city should organize some sort of protective security type force to round up these criminals and detain them in some fashion so that law abiding citizens can go about their lives without fear. From what I understand, other cities have things they call police and jails and judges for this sort of thing. Perhaps that could be tried.

The only thing being held hostage is your brain by Fox News. Citizens in Portland are going about their lives without fear each and everyday. The only problem area is just a small block where each night the storm troopers and a small number protesters show up each night like regularly scheduled sporting event. Surprised there are;t vendors hawking hot dogs and peanuts with pennants supporting whichever side you're cheering for. But who knows, maybe there are. Take out the storm troopers and things will go back to being quiet again. The local government said their presence would provoke unrest and indeed it has.

What Antifa? You've got moms and veterans out there protesting as well. Don't know about golden showers in Russia but Michael Cohen knows of golden showers in Las Vegas however.

Police declare a riot? Dah
These democrats can’t figure out what a riot looks like?

Let’s see, burning buildings, looting, people getting beaten. Now is that a peaceful protest or a riot? Let me think about that

Come out under your bed. Faux news has you all acting like a bunch of nervous meerkats.

You only need to look at Trump's best friends, Putin, Un, Erdogan, an Xi to know what an authoritarian is. That's what he aspires to be.

That's not going to happen. Not via Biden and Harris anyways. It may happen by default of Trump and the GOP's refusal to provide relief funding for the states who will soon be faced with making some hard decisions due to sharply depressed revenues as a result of the COVID crisis. Budgetary constraints may force them to have to curtail essential services such as policing. So who really is the law and order party now?

Funny how you leftists see fascism where there is none but dont see the Marxist in the mirror.

So somewhere between 100 - 200 people (OP source.)

Look on the bright side, several months ago this was in the thousands or more when these protests were about another matter but this is seemingly about ICE.

Perhaps in a few months this will look more like the 'we are the 99%' occupier movement, where eventually there were just a few tents left in public parks for those who's parents kicked them out permanently.

How cold does it get in Portland in December? That might put a damper on things.

The elected officials of Portland... who else sets the laws in a city?

LOL
I can’t tell from the video of the suspect beating that guy. Is that a mom or veteran?

Multnomah County DA condemns violence shown in video of man beaten in Portland | KATU

Is that one of the moms you are talking about? The one the mob threw paint on.

Portland woman confronts protesters, splattered with paint

It’s pathetic that anyone supports this.

Until Trump and Barr remove their contracted storm troopers.

Who? You mean, the federal police that were protecting a handful of buildings? Again, these groups were attacking those buildings (really one). The buildings weren't moving around.

But the federal police left these buildings entrusted to the state police, who gave up on the city in disgust and moved their attention elsewhere. Now the mob has turned on the local police.

No! Policing is not an 'essential service'. The People can and must police themselves. It is fortunate that the vanguard of the proletariat volunteer to take to the streets every night to control the enemies of the people and those running dogs of the capitalist oppressors, the Stormtroopers to whom you have drawn attention. The next step must be to take over the jail house, the school house and the court house.

Who gave these 'judges' the power to send workers to prison? They must be replaced by People's Courts. Those in China some years ago provide the pattern and an example of efficiency. They could accuse, convict, condemn and execute an Enemy of the People in 17 minutes - 15 minutes on a good day. Now that's real democracy in action.

The only fascists are those burning and looting the fact that you support this sort of behavior is why no one in their right mind should support
any leftist or democrat.

They don't just represent the values of BLM... for the principle it was originally speaking about, THEY have expanded it to acknowledge how policies against blacks damage them as white people equally so. (This is good awareness !!!! )

These are White People, who have finally awakened to the fact that every policy, law and process that was designed to hurt, damage and disenfranchise black people has done the EXACT same thing to them... So, they want Black Lives To Matter, so the policy, law and process can be changed to respect EVERYONE. "They NOW KNOW- Equality, Fairness, Justice and Opportunity MUST be FOR EVERYONE.

IF... the damages had not affected them personally, they would not be Protesting and damaging anything. They are showing society, that WHITE PEOPLE will damage stuff when the policy, law and process that was designed to damage and disenfranchise blacks HAS NOW BECOME A REALITY THEY UNDERSTAND AS HAVING THE EXACT SAME IMPACT ON THEM.

They now know... that Racism is a double edge sword and it cuts back and forth and has cut them deeply... so now, they are awakened to the fact that Racism Must Be Abolished.



( Most Conservative have shallow attention spans and can't think in ways that provide perspective to enhance understanding)...

BLM leaders are avowed communists.
They are following the communist manifesto to the letter.

Marx was all about violent domestic terrorism to force policies.

the problem is that there is no appeasing these people. If you give a inch they will want the the entire mile and more.
THe only way and the only way to deal with people like this is to arrest them charge them and punish those that engage in this type of behavior.
