"Antifa" is completely Orwellian in nature. War is peace, lies are truth, and "antifa" is supposedly against fascism.

Instead, they ARE identical in every way, right down to their dress, to Mussolini's "Black Shirts." They use fascist tactics, intimidation and violence, and not a peep out of the dem leaders, who tell the police to stand down, while the media quashes reports of their violence.

They're all one and the same: The dems are simply the political wing, just as Sinn Fein was the political wing of the terrorist IRA. And the main-stream media is simply their ministry of propaganda.

The mayor, Wheeler, cut a deal, over a year ago. Antifa doesn't break any more windows or property, and the police budget can't afford the overtime to protect 'fascists'.

Note that no more car windshields at the local dealers have been smashed.

The patriots ALWAYS get permits, and are scrupulously careful about the law. Antifa sleeps in the arms of the local judiciary, and always seem to only get charged with misdemeanors, which means that jail has a revolving door.

Antifa wants martyrs...

It would be too bad, if some night, a black clad and masked "antifa" were to hit the local Beemer dealer, again, as a representative of the Capitalist Oppressors...

Be interesting to hear Antifa, and the mayor, deny it...

"It's kind of like you're playing into your opponents' hands when you do that sort of thing. That's not what I was there for."

He still sees conservatives who are proud of the flag as his opponents. The Antifa fascists who almost killed him get a pass. Amazing.

I thought being mugged by reality was supposed to turn you into a conservative, but maybe not if there is brain damage.

Re “he felt disappointed and conflicted”.

How about feeling like a damned liberal fool, for once and admit that the communist/anarchist rabble are just that, not social justice warriors.

He’s lucky that he is alive.

However, there were eyewitnesses there whose faces weren’t covered so a little bit of police work might get them to identify the Black Bloc Thugs or provide leads.

Otherwise, they could end up before a grand jury investigation this organized violence.

OH WAIT!. This is Portland. There won’t be any police follow-up; no grand jury; no justice; no arrests and trials.

It’s Liberal Time! Let the Purge begin! Screw the innocent!
Down with America! Up with Antifa! Up with the stock market! - Sorry, cancel that one!

Patriot Prayer must be on to something. Last year someone with weapons tried to stop them and ended up getting hit by a car. Now this.

This is why folks should go out in pairs or in threes. Gives the option of standing back to back.

Anyone wearing a mask to conceal their identity is showing malicious intent. “I was in fear for my personal safety, officer.” is the correct response.

‘Portland officials are helping antifa. If they weren't’ they would force them to remove their masks or be arrested.’

Does Oregon have an anti-masking law. Many states do and it is a felony offense.

They don't show up in Idaho, either. Hmmmmm. Wonder why?

Could be that section d of Idaho statues wrt to justifiable homicide just might have something to do with it.

d) When necessarily committed in attempting, by lawful ways and means, to apprehend any person for any felony committed, or in lawfully suppressing any riot, or in lawfully keeping and preserving the peace.

He wanted to be Antifa, but he didn’t know the right people.

With this video out for a while now, I’m pretty sure there are dozens of people who know the attempted murderer and still keep their mouths shut.

a f\#)ing coward hits the man in the back of the head and walks away. Oregon gone to the socialist KGB mimicking auntiffa cowards. I had a aunt that loved to visit Oregon, as she thought it was beautiful..her name wasn’t Iffa but she wasn’t a fascist either.

How any patriot could stand to live in or around west coast cities is beyond me.
