It's about time the cops arrested the real trouble makers at these peaceful protests.

...Some in the right-wing group carried guns, baseball bats, sticks and pipes.

Officers with the Oregon State Police and Salem Police Department made multiple arrests after rally goers attacked some of the counter protestors. Videos on social media show right-wing protesters chasing, tackling and assaulting left-wing protestors with weapons, fists and pepper spray. Paintballs were also fired between the two groups.

My nephew traveled with them as a journalist last year for a project. He said they were some really scary folk.

They are the ones that are causing the violence...

In Oregon, it's the Proud Boys, for sure. In other major cities, it's other Right Wing groups, some organized nationally.
 
Karl Marx would be considered a "Proud Boy" in Portland these days.

Is this project online? Most of the 'journalism' I've seen written about them end up getting all their facts wrong.

Possibly but we know Proud Boys are classified as Proud boys.

Trump's boys are doing exactly as Trump asked.

They must be shocked to be arrested.

Sounds like someone wants to paint a violent Right Wing group as girl scouts.
 
14,000 arrested but it is right wing troublemakers?

Hitler was a fascist though. The stereotype you’re blandly meming is the opposite of that.

It won several awards, but you will just have to find it. I'm not your librarian.

You mean compared to Antifa thugs that walk up behind someone, say "wanna go?", then shoot them in the chest as soon as they turn around?
 

Okay. I now agree with the OP of another thread:

If I saw *that* crowd, the temptation to slam my car into them repeatedly in panicked attempts to get away from what I believe is a direct threat to my life would be strong.

Also, my god, can you imagine the body odor in that pool? I can practically *feel* myself turning more queer just looking at that pic.
 
Fascists can't enjoy ironic t-shirts?

If someone in the crowd is wearing a tshirt defining irony for them, would you take a “Maybe” on that one?
