Anyone planning on going to the Sunday Free Speech rally. I am thinking about it, but am concerned about the possibility of violence, as I was planning on going with my wife and kid.

Your thoughts?

1. don’t take children to a potentially violent event

2. let your wife make her down decision

3. make sure your insurance is paid up - will survivors be financially sound

4. both parents should consider the possibility of the child as a sole survivor

No matter the likelihood, these are the considerations

I hope you are able to go, if you feel that it is the right thing to do, and report back to us. Thank you.

This mayor should be the subject of a federal civil rights investigation.

“...I was planning on going with my wife and kid.”

If you go, be sure to arm yourself with a weapon of your choice. The Oregon scum are as mean as they come.

So the authorities are admitting that they are FOR sharia.

A little free advice to the Portland Police and protest leader(s):

Keep the two groups separate (even if the anti-free-speech side doesn’t have a permit, they will be there). Use barricades. Distance is not enough of a deterrent.

Armbands for the leaders, and participants must obey the leaders. No provoking the other side. Leaders should instruct their group ahead of time. There is a tendency for people to want their picture in the paper.

Stop the violence at the first sign it is going to start, e.g. if someone approaches the other side aggressively even if he or she had not assaulted anyone yet.

Have enough men to enforce the law. Bring in neighboring police forces if you think you need them.

Portland mayor and police commissioner: Do not instruct your police to stand down. If you do, and there is violence that is not controlled by the cops because of stand down orders, it is on your soul.
